Eye Tracking Findings Emphasise the Importance of Measuring Attention in Digital Advertising

Eye Tracking Findings Emphasise the Importance of Measuring Attention in Digital Advertising
Data from Userneeds and OMD Denmark shines a light on the importance of high impact formats when it comes to grabbing audience attention 

Tech company Adnami has hailed new findings by research company Userneeds and OMD Denmark that lays bare the attention-grabbing power of high impact formats, some of which proved to deliver 45 times more attention than standard display ads.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with David Grossman, CMO at Backstage

The data, collected over a 6 month period across a selected range of advertisers, pointed to the difference between viewability and attention generated by various formats – from standard display ads of various sizes to Adnami’s high-impact top scroll and interscroll formats. 

The study revealed that Adnami’s formats generated an average ten-fold uplift in attention, and in some (extreme) cases up to 45 times more attention per 1000 impressions when compared to standard display, according to Userneeds’ eye-tracking panel. What’s more, a standard display format (160×600) with the highest viewability was in fact the format with the lowest ability to drive user attention.  

The Data also links attention to effectiveness, measured on brand preference and ad recall. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the longer the ad is viewed for, the more likely it is to make an impact on brand perception, with the findings supporting the inclusion of high impact formats in campaigns by default.

“Viewability is not the same as attention and this study shows that existing metrics don’t go far enough when it comes to understanding what ‘good’ looks like in digital media,” says Adnami’s CEO, Simon Kvist Gaulshøj. “The winners will be those who understand if their audiences connect with their creative and media, and if this connection delivers an outcome. This study highlights the importance of considering metrics in a deeper and more qualitative way. Viewability is meaningless if an audience is paying little attention.” 

OMD Denmark’s Director, Peter Loell, comments: “With the industry still grappling with the most appropriate metrics to assess the efficiency of campaigns, this data shows that well-designed, high impact ads aren’t just viewable, but they capture attention, too. It’s important to remember that no metric in isolation will give us the whole picture. Advertisers must seek a balance between reach, attention and action in the media mix and not focus solely on price, nor on viewability.”

Adnami specialises in programmatic, high-impact advertising solutions, and works with a growing portfolio of publishers, agencies and advertisers. Launched in 2017, and with offices in Copenhagen and Stockholm, it is set to expand its programmatic tech solutions for high impact advertising throughout Europe in 2021. The company works with a diverse range of clients, such as Heineken, BMW, American Express, Disney, Samsung and Red Bull.

Datawiza Adds Support for Microsoft Azure Active Directory Conditional Access to Deliver Zero Trust Security

Datawiza-Adds-Support-for-Microsoft-Azure-Active-Directory-Conditional-Access-to-Deliver-Zero-Trust-Security

Quickly support detailed policies for how users authenticate and gain access to apps and data, on-premises or in the cloud

Datawiza, a pioneer in cloud-delivered Access Management as a Service (AMaaS), announced support for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Conditional Access in its Access Management platform, making it easier and faster for joint customers to achieve a Zero Trust Architecture. Datawiza also announced co-sell ready status in the Azure Marketplace, making it even easier for customers around the world to take advantage of the application migration benefits of Datawiza.

Marketing Technology News: Datawiza Appoints Alan Grebene as Strategic Advisor

“Faced with growing concerns around protecting private information, organizations need to quickly align with intelligent strategies to regulate who can access sensitive information, and under what circumstances,” said Dr. Canming Jiang, Co-Founder & CEO of Datawiza. “The combination of Microsoft Azure AD and our Datawiza Access Management Platform gives customers automated, error-reducing migration tools so they can quickly protect all apps — cloud or on-premises — within the Azure AD environment. With Conditional Access available in Microsoft 365 premium subscriptions, Microsoft has demonstrated an exceptional vision, enabling virtually any company to achieve Zero Trust, and we look forward to continuing to support their innovations.”

  • Support for Microsoft Conditional Access APIs

Conditional Access capabilities enable businesses to define the conditions that allow users to access specific data, apps or resources. For example, some employees may require visibility into Social Security numbers, while other employees do not. Many companies also feel that protecting their on-premises data with VPN-level access is insufficient, so they need to add protections after users log in via a VPN.

With support for Conditional Access APIs, Datawiza now enables businesses to immediately configure Conditional Access when taking advantage of Datawiza’s “one-click” application migrations to Azure AD using the cloud-delivered Datawiza AMaaS. This helps companies accelerate their journey to a Zero Trust Architecture by automating key application migration steps while reducing the possibility of errors. Conditional Access offers scale and identity protection, including real-time, granular, policy-defined access controls based on group, role, location, device, IP, or browser. With Datawiza, companies can also implement URL-level access controls.

“Microsoft is committed to helping organizations adopt Zero Trust Architecture and comply with evolving privacy regulations,” said Sue Bohn, vice president of program management, Microsoft Identity and Network Access. “We’re working with companies like Datawiza that are closely following Microsoft’s focus on end-to-end security and Zero Trust strategy, and are rapidly implementing the capabilities enterprises need to maximize the value of the Microsoft solutions they already own, including Microsoft 365.”

  • Microsoft Co-sell ready

Co-sell ready status means Datawiza can work directly with Microsoft sales teams and Microsoft partners on joint selling opportunities, making it even easier for customers around the world to take advantage of the application migration benefits of Datawiza. To earn co-sell ready status, a partner solution must be available in the Azure Marketplace, which means it is certified by Microsoft and optimized to run on Azure.

Available on the Azure Marketplace, cloud-delivered Datawiza Access Management Platform makes it easy for companies to migrate their applications to Azure AD and implement Zero Trust Architecture by providing a no-code/low-code solution that supports policy-defined, URL-level access controls based on detailed user and device attributes, such as group, role, IP, or browser.

Simpli.fi Launches CTV Retargeting, Extending Its Performance CTV Product Suite

New Capability Enables Advertisers to Retarget CTV Users with Automated Process

Simpli.fi, a leader in programmatic advertising and agency management software, announced today an enhancement of its Performance CTV offering with the addition of CTV Retargeting. With this new capability, advertisers can sequentially retarget users who were previously served a CTV impression with a variety of ad types, driving higher performance at a lower average cost.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Eddie Porrello, Director of Product at Amber Engine

The number of connected TV devices in U.S. households has grown significantly this past year, as 82% of U.S. TV households have at least one connected TV device. With the rapid growth and adoption of CTV, the importance for advertisers to reach their desired audience with CTV advertising and drive actions is critical. As a leading CTV advertising platform, so far in 2021 Simpli.fi has run over 32,000 CTV campaigns for more than 8,200 unique advertisers, helping brands drive measurable results with CTV advertising.

“We’re excited to bring advertisers this new feature within our Performance CTV offering,” said Ryan Horn, SVP of Marketing at Simpli.fi. “As brands, retailers, and especially eCommerce advertisers head into the holiday season and beyond, CTV Retargeting will allow marketers to make the most of every impression and ultimately drive more conversions.”

Simpli.fi’s CTV Retargeting feature enables advertisers to deliver additional messaging to users who were previously served a CTV impression through an automated process. The automation with this new feature enables advertisers to efficiently and effectively guide consumers from the awareness stage to the action stage of their CTV campaigns. This new product feature leverages Simpli.fi’s cross-device graph to pair a user’s device and serve impressions across all of their devices and attribute conversions.

New Salesforce and Slack Innovations Empower Companies to Create Their Digital HQ

Announcing the Launch of Salesforce’s Accessibility Site

Domino’s, Intuit, and Splunk are running their digital HQ with Salesforce and Slack

 Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, today announced new capabilities that integrate Slack across Salesforce’s products and industry solutions, plus new Slack innovations that improve collaboration across organizational boundaries and empower teams to embrace asynchronous working.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Ron Jaworski, CEO at Trinity Audio

“Our mindset about work has shifted from a place you go, to something you do,” said Bret Taylor, President and Chief Operating Officer of Salesforce. “Every company needs a digital HQ to connect its employees, customers, and partners, and thrive in a work-from-anywhere world. Organizations around the world build their digital HQs on Salesforce and Slack so they can work better and grow faster.”

Following the August launch of new Slack integrations across Sales, Service, Marketing, and Analytics (Tableau), today Salesforce is launching integrations across the majority of its products, including Commerce, Experience, Platform, Trailhead, MuleSoft, and Quip, and its industry clouds and products including Sustainability, Corporate and Investment Banking, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Philanthropy, Nonprofit, and Education.

Also launching is a bevy of new Slack functionality aimed at giving customers the tools they need to thrive in this new era of digital-first work. Clips are a new way to easily create and share audio, video, and screen recordings within any channel or DM in Slack, letting people work more flexibly, on their own time. GovSlack is a version of Slack that meets the most stringent security and compliance needs of the U.S. government and the agencies they work with. And a host of enhancements to Slack Connect make it easier than ever to create and manage connections, even for customers and partners who don’t already use Slack.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Eddie Porrello, Director of Product at Amber Engine

“Building your digital HQ means thinking carefully about the digital infrastructure that connects everyone in your business, helping them find new ways to innovate, collaborate and stay connected,” said Stewart Butterfield, CEO and Co-Founder of Slack. “This is a once in a generation opportunity for every company to reinvent themselves and make work more flexible, inclusive and productive. There could not be a more exciting time for Salesforce and Slack to come together to help every company find success in this new digital-first world.”

When organizations made the sudden move to remote work in 2020, most simply translated office-based routines into the virtual world. Today, it’s clear the workplace won’t snap back to the way it was. With nine in 10 companies planning a hybrid model moving forward, organizations must reinvent the processes and tools they previously relied on – such as in-person meetings, company-wide emails, and strategy offsites – for the digital-first world.

Plannuh, a SaaS company automating core marketing leadership processes including planning, financial management, and optimization of business outcomes, today announced it closed a $4.1 million equity round led by Ripple Ventures. Existing investors Glasswing Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in the next generation of intelligent enterprise and frontier tech startups and Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI-focused venture fund, participated in the round, which comes as Plannuh sees significant growth amid expanded product offerings.

Marketing Technology News: Wipro Announces Co-innovation Space with Google Cloud

Plannuh, which helps businesses prove and improve the value of their marketing by consolidating all marketing plans, budgets, and metrics into a single cloud-based system for full visibility and collaboration, has increased its annual recurring revenue more than six times in the last 12 months and added more than 50 customers.

Marketing Technology News: Dubber Acquires World Class AI Technology Company Notiv

“It is well known that finance and marketing teams often do not see eye to eye,” said Matt Cohen, Managing Partner, Ripple Ventures. “This largely stems from the fact that finance teams are numbers-driven, and historically marketing teams have struggled to demonstrate the value that advertising campaigns have on revenue. Another major issue for marketing teams is that most of their planning, budgeting, and expense tracking is done manually, either on paper or in Excel. Plannuh is on a mission to solve these inefficiencies and help quantify the effectiveness of marketing spend, thus reducing the friction between marketing and finance departments, and helping marketing teams get better results. This is what makes us so excited to lead this investment round in Plannuh alongside an amazing group of investors.”

“Plannuh’s AI-driven marketing automation platform is a game-changing solution to marketing’s planning crisis, effectively putting a stop to marketing budget waste,” said Rudina Seseri, Founder and Managing Partner, Glasswing Ventures. “From pre-seed to today, we have seen how Plannuh’s exceptional team led by Peter Mahoney and Scott Todaro, has been able to execute on their plan to deliver a single source of truth for budgeting, planning, and execution, and realize incredibly strong customer traction. Plannuh is an indispensable tool for every marketing organization, increasing alignment, and productivity while improving marketing ROI, and top-line growth. We are excited to continue to invest in Plannuh, alongside co-investors Gradient Ventures and Ripple Ventures.”

“Plannuh provides a powerful automation platform combining real-time financial data with marketing and sales outcomes, delivering unique data and insights daily,” said Zach Bratun-Glennon, Partner at Gradient Ventures. “Marketing and sales teams have increasing demand for Plannuh in order to prove the value of their investments, optimize and reposition spend, and drive growth with continuous, accurate feedback.”

Company Also Adds Features and a Social Platform to Serve Customers’ Evolving Needs

PiiQ Media, the social media threat intelligence and risk analytics company, announced today that in response to customer requests, the company has made its API available to customers and added new features to its products that make them more accessible and actionable.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Paul Ross, VP of Marketing at Affinity

It became clear via customer feedback that they wanted direct access to PiiQ Media’s data feeds, as well as an expanded set of deliverables and data processing to provide more actionable information on social media data. To better serve the evolving needs of customers, the company has made the following changes:

  • API accessibility for queries and data retrieval
  • Geolocation pulled from imagery analysis
  • The addition of Telegram as a collection platform
  • Executive Protection: vulnerability and threat monitoring for executives
  • Authenticity scoring, which delivers quantifiable conclusions on the authenticity of social media profiles and conversations

By adding features for imagery analysis and processing, along with authenticity scoring to highlight the fake nature of social media engagements and profiles, PiiQ Media is giving customers more useful information to act on. In addition, by adding new platforms for collection, such as Telegram, the company is expanding its visibility into social media conversations.

Marketing Technology News: The Impact of Influencers Continues to Grow as Consumers Seek Authenticity

API access benefits a significant number of customers who want the data PiiQ provides but have their own processes and interfaces to process the data. This allows for more seamless integration of PiiQ data into their existing tools.

A variety of customers have asked for more social platforms and more finished analysis, especially pertaining to photos and videos. By blending state-of-the-art geolocation technologies with PiiQ’s insight into individual profiles, the company is improving the accuracy of geolocation of imagery. PiiQ will continue to incorporate more imagery-based analysis for facial recognition and object recognition in the near future.

Aaron Barr, chief technology officer, PiiQ Media, said: “We are constantly looking for ways to improve our products for our customers to make them more accessible and relevant, no matter the business environment or processes. If we aren’t constantly looking for ways to make our customers more successful at their jobs, then we aren’t doing ours. These upgrades enable us and our customers to tackle the authenticity of social media information at scale.”

Aura Survey: Many Americans Are Prioritizing Streaming Access Over Security

Active duty service members and their families are up to three times more frequently victims of cyber attacks than other U.S. adults

Aura, a leading provider of all-in-one digital security solutions for consumers, announced a partnership with Blue Star Families, the nation’s largest military family support organization. Aura will partner with Blue Star Families and its network of more than 1.5 million military family members to reduce the risk of digital crime and financial fraud  within the military community to enable families to easily identify and resolve instances of fraud, identity theft or other cyber threats.

Marketing Technology News: Offerwalls Drive Record Publisher Earnings on Android and iOS as Monetization Rates Bounce Back from…

Blue Star Families offers resources and programs that help build stronger communities around military families and  address the unique needs of their community, including digital security. According to the FTC, active duty service members and their families are up to three times more frequently victims of cyber attacks than other U.S. adults, resulting in more than 65,000 fraud cases that cost military families $122 million in 2020 alone.

“There are certain activities that can make anyone more vulnerable to digital crime, such as moving homes, infrequently checking accounts and travelling overseas,” said Aura CEO Hari Ravichandran. “But for active duty service members, these are common and frequent behaviors that make actively monitoring and protecting one’s personal security challenging and often overwhelming. Through our partnership with Blue Star Families, Aura will work to reverse the disproportionate impact of digital crime and financial fraud on active-duty military, Veterans and their families and help protect the people who protect all of us everyday.”

By providing Blue Star Families’ membership with informative, actionable education around digital safety and complimentary access to Aura’s simple, all-in-one digital security app in honor of Veterans’ Day on November 11, Aura aims to promote peace of mind that military families will always be protected.

Aura’s nationwide employee base will also have the opportunity to volunteer in their local communities in support of neighboring military families, as well as to share their professional expertise with the Blue Star Families organization and its teams.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Aura to help protect our active-duty service members, Veterans and their families from digital threats,” said Blue Star Families CEO Kathy Roth-Douquet. “With Aura, they can simply secure everything they need to do online so they can protect everything they care about offline.”

Already trusted by millions, Aura’s simple, all-in-one app provides proactive digital security that alerts users to potential threats and helps resolve any issues. Aura simplifies digital security – helping to alleviate the burden on service members and their families – all backed by an experienced team of customer service professionals and a $1 million insurance policy for every customer to cover any losses from identity theft and fraud.

It does not register any personal data of the individual being screened.

“Draganfly’s Vital Intelligence products have been game-changers for universities, corrections facilities, sporting events and large-scale conferences over the course of the past 18 months,” said Cameron Chell, Draganfly CEO. “We are excited to partner with Fobi on this critical platform that will help to ensure people can confidently attend conferences and events.”

In April, Fobi partnered with bdG Sports to run venue management at the MGM Resorts Championship PGA Event in Las Vegas. Recently, it has signed a deal to bring its venue management solutions to the Canadian Hockey League, the world’s largest development hockey league.

According to Pollstar, the COVID-19 global pandemic resulted in more than $30 billion USD in lost revenue for the live events industry in 2020. However, Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the global event management software market to reach nearly $14.6 billion USD by 2025 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.68%.

Fobi allows event organizers to manage access permissions based on automated health symptom pre-screening, customizable pre-screening questionnaires as well as vaccination status.

The combined company will extend CreatorIQ’s leadership position as the largest influencer marketing SaaS platform in terms of revenue, growth, data authority, and global expansion with over 450 customers, 250 employees, and $90 million in funding.

CreatorIQ has seen rapid growth and customer expansion for the last five years, and is fresh off a round of new funding, adding another $40 million to its balance sheet.

Salesforce Achieves Net Zero Across Its Value Chain and 100% Renewable Energy

Salesforce Announces First-of-Its-Kind Carbon Credit Marketplace, Empowering Any Organization to Take Climate Action on Their Journey to Net Zero
Sustainability Cloud 2.0 launches to help customers reach Net Zero, faster
In partnership with Global Citizen and 1T.org, Salesforce funds an additional 30M trees this year to reach its goal of 100M trees by 2030; donates $1M to American Forests and One Tree Planted

Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, today announced that it is a Net Zero company across its full value chain and has achieved 100% renewable energy for its operations. Salesforce developed emissions reductions strategies across Scope 1, 2, and 3 in four key categories—work from anywhere, infrastructure, business travel, and supply chain.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Nani Shaffer, VP of Marketing at InCloudCounsel

Salesforce is also unveiling Sustainability Cloud 2.0 to accelerate customers’ path to Net Zero, empowering organizations to track and reduce their carbon emissions and become a sustainable business. New innovations include Slack-First Sustainability for better collaboration with suppliers, a carbon-offset ecosystem, and industry specific climate action plans.

“Climate change is one of the most pressing crises we face as a planet, and each one of us has a responsibility to help,” said Marc Benioff, CEO and Chair, Salesforce. “I’m proud that Salesforce is one of the few companies to have achieved Net Zero and 100% renewable energy, but we can’t stop until we embrace every solution and get every business on board. Together, we can sequester 100 gigatons of carbon by restoring, conserving or growing 1 trillion trees; energize an ecopreneur revolution to develop innovative climate solutions; and accelerate the Fortune 1000 to reach Net Zero.”

“Climate change impacts everyone and everything, and it disproportionately impacts the poorest and most vulnerable, amplifying global inequality,” said Suzanne DiBianca, Chief Impact Officer and EVP of Corporate Relations at Salesforce. “Sustainability Cloud supercharged our path to Net Zero, and we’re empowering customers with the transformational tools and trusted data they need to reduce their carbon emissions and take climate action.”

Sustainability is essential to becoming a trusted enterprise. Customers want to do business with companies that are fully committed to climate action. In fact, 58% of people are willing to spend more with businesses that fight climate change.

Salesforce Expands Net Zero to its Entire Value Chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3)
Salesforce is continuing to drive towards a 1.5°C future by focusing on six sustainability priorities: emissions reduction, carbon removal, trillion trees & ecosystem restoration, education & mobilization, innovation, and regulation & policy.

Today, the company is releasing its Climate Action Plan to offer a blueprint for others to accelerate their journey to Net Zero.

“We need bold and urgent action if we are to deliver the promise of Paris and a healthier, cleaner, more resilient zero carbon world in time. Salesforce has shown significant leadership in climate action through their innovation, supply chain decarbonisation and policy advocacy work, and I encourage businesses around the world to step up now and join us in the Race to Zero emissions,” said Nigel Topping, UN High Level Climate Champions for COP26.

Salesforce achieved Net Zero emissions by:

  • Committing publicly to the shared, global goal of achieving a just and equitable transition to Net Zero, in line with a 1.5°C future.
  • Prioritizing reducing emissions as quickly as possible and aligning its own full value chain emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) to the global trajectory of ~50% emissions reductions by 2030, and near-zero emissions by 2040. With Sustainability Cloud, Salesforce identified the most impactful opportunities to lower its carbon footprint.
  • Compensating for any remaining emissions by purchasing renewable energy and carbon credits of high credibility, impact, and co-benefits. In the long-term, using removal credits only and in the near term using a combination of avoidance and removal credits.

In 2021, Salesforce achieved 100% renewable energy, purchasing enough renewable energy to match all electricity it uses globally. Since first committing to this goal in 2013, Salesforce has been working to accelerate the global transition to clean and renewable sources of electricity with the aim for a future where renewable energy is powering the world around the clock.

To address climate change, businesses need to decrease emissions and increase carbon removals from the atmosphere. Salesforce is focused on deploying natural carbon removal tools, including trees and oceans, while scaling technology-based carbon removal solutions. From ecopreneurs to enterprises—innovation is needed to expedite the path to decarbonization.

Sustainability Cloud 2.0 Accelerates Companies to Net Zero, Faster
More than 70% of people believe emissions reduction should factor into business operations, yet tracking a company’s full value chain emissions is complex and time consuming. With Sustainability Cloud, Salesforce was able to reduce its carbon accounting process from more than six months to just six weeks.

Sustainability Cloud is designed to help customers track and reduce their emissions and take action through a full view of their environmental footprint with investor-grade data for customizable ESG reporting. This data is essential for third-party audits, financial filings, corporate reputation, and building trust with all stakeholders. Customers including Clif Bar & Company, ISDI, MillerKnoll, Uhuru, and XERO are already beginning to use Sustainability Cloud to track their carbon emissions and take action.

Today, Salesforce is introducing Sustainability Cloud 2.0 to help businesses accelerate to Net Zero by making progress on the six sustainability priorities and turning commitments into action. In the next generation of Sustainability Cloud, companies will see the following:

  • Suppliers are a significant part of the carbon reduction equation. Companies will get investor-grade scope 3 reporting with Slack-First Sustainability, allowing them to effortlessly connect and securely collaborate at scale with suppliers around science-based emission reduction targets through Slack Connect.
  • Every industry has unique needs. Businesses will be able to visualize their fastest path to Net Zero with Climate Action Planning, which includes forecasting, scenario planning, and built-in decarbonization plans.
  • Climate action needs everyone to mobilize and collaborate. Salesforce is investing in building an Open Exchange Ecosystem, in which customers will be able to purchase and manage high-quality carbon credits from ecopreneurs, advocate for science-based climate policies, and democratize sustainability by educating teams.

“At Clif Bar, we are guided by our values, like striving to create a healthy and sustainable food system. We know that fostering collective climate action, in partnership with our suppliers, is key to our success,” said Roma McCaig, Senior Vice President of Impact and Communications, Clif Bar & Company. “We’ve committed to creating a net positive impact on climate. That’s why we’re leveraging Salesforce’s Sustainability Cloud to further enhance visibility into our carbon footprint while also helping our suppliers reduce their own.”

Nature-Based Solutions Are Critical to Addressing the Climate Crisis
At Salesforce, the environment is a key stakeholder, and trees are one of the most effective solutions to pull carbon out of the atmosphere. That’s why Salesforce is a founding partner of 1t.org, a movement to conserve, restore, and grow 1 trillion trees by 2030.

Through Dreamforce Gives, Salesforce is donating $1M to American Forests and One Tree Planted to advance tree equity and urban canopy in lower income communities and neighborhoods, and to reforest disaster-affected areas.

  • Dreamforce Gives: American Forests will focus its efforts in DallasPhoenix, and Rhode Island — areas that are grappling with extreme heat and have been identified by American Forests’ Tree Equity Score as having high disparities in tree canopy — and plant more than 1,700 trees in underserved communities across these areas. One Tree Planted will plant trees globally to support urban reforestation and tree equity in lower income communities and neighborhoods.
  • Global Citizen: As part of the company’s commitment to the planet, Salesforce is partnering with leaders and activists for Global Citizen, a movement to mobilize millions of people around the world to defend the planet and defeat poverty. Inspired by the actions of global citizens and as part of the Global Citizen Live event, taking place on September 25th, and in partnership with 1T.org, Salesforce will fund the restoration, conservation, and growth of an additional 30 million trees by this year driving forward its overall goal of 100M trees by the end of the decade.
  • Trees for Jane: Salesforce is also a proud supporter of Trees for Jane, a new campaign to protect and restore the world’s trees and forests, inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall. Trees for Jane aims to stop deforestation while also empowering individuals to plant and care for their own tree or trees in their backyards, rooftops, or with local community groups.

The protection of our planet requires everyone — governments, investors, businesses, individuals — working together, today, to take climate action.

To achieve this, Toshiba is accelerating the often daunting and time-consuming car purchasing process via its next gen e‑STUDIO multifunction printers (MFPs) and their seamless end-to-end integration within the company’s critical workflows.

Marketing Technology News: Toshiba Announces CEO Succession

The 52 e-STUDIO systems Toshiba is deploying throughout the automotive seller’s footprint are creating and facilitating diverse workflows – from sales and marketing to accounting and human resources – to fully address Bowser’s document management needs. As a result, scanning, emailing and wirelessly printing are more efficient and secure for the automotive group’s customers and staff.

“Toshiba has been an extraordinarily beneficial technology partner for our staff and customers,” says Bowser Automotive Owner Gary Bowser. “The company’s MFPs are saving us time and money by automating many of our day-to-day tasks, and more importantly, enabling us to better serve our customers.”

Driving Performance

Bowser’s workforce depends on Toshiba systems to produce the documents necessary to operate. Toshiba e-STUDIO MFPs throughout the automotive group’s Western Pennsylvania dealerships produce such essential documents as employee onboarding paperwork, marketing materials, body shop repair orders, customer car contracts and much more.

Toshiba devices also handle the sensitive and security-intensive processing of order paperwork to the state of Pennsylvania Department of Motor Vehicles and Bowser’s automobile manufacturer partners.

Bowser personnel and customers particularly appreciate the Toshiba systems’ wireless printing capability. This unique functionality enables Bowser associates and shoppers alike to print time-sensitive documents from anywhere across the automotive group’s four sites.

“Helping Bowser Automotive manage their extensive document needs more efficiently and affordably is very gratifying for us,” says Toshiba Business Solutions President Steven Sauer. “We’ll continue to closely collaborate with Gary and his team while seeking additional ways we can help them operate even more effectively.”
