A Case Study in Enablement in PMM & PRM
The Client

The Solution

- Provided campaign strategies via our global partner marketing concierge services.
The Results

- 650+ campaigns across the NA, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC regions.

Background

- Smaller partners preferred ready-made content and campaigns to be supplied by the vendor.
- Partners also required assistance with overall partner program development, administration, maintenance, and execution of campaigns.
