Project Overview
Challenge
The internal resources at Salesforce were faced with an enormous demand for creative assets ahead of Dreamforce 2023. The pressures lay not only in meeting tight deadlines but also in maintaining the brand and quality standards expected by Salesforce's Executive Vice President of Global Brand Marketing. The need for swift deployment, collaboration with internal resources and external vendors, and perfect execution in a high-profile setting called on our adaptability, creativity, and project management capabilities.
Approach
Aquent Studios was brought on to orchestrate a rapid, large-scale creative project with precision and finesse. We took an agile, multi-faceted approach, rapidly deploying a talented team that could collaborate and integrate with internal and external partners. Effective project management was crucial to streamline workflows and meet stringent deadlines. We also implemented an adaptive review process to guarantee the high-quality delivery required for such a high-profile event.
Through this engagement, we not only met the immediate project needs but also anticipated broader implications. Our success paved the way for an expanded role in crafting customer stories for Salesforce, signaling a deeper and evolving partnership beyond the immediate project requirements.
