About the Client

A medium-size B2B technology firm was implementing Salesforce Account Engagement (Pardot) to nurture leads, promote events, and launch content marketing initiatives.

As marketing activity increased, they had difficulties keeping up with management of their existing email and landing page templates. Marketers would often require technical assistance to make minor content modifications.

The lack of up-to-date templates also caused some problems of consistency and rendering for campaigns. The team was looking for a more reliable, device and email client agnostic method.

The aim was to build new, reusable templates that marketers can edit without fear of having to contact developers for regular changes.
