Folloze Continues Strong Momentum as Customer Journey Personalization Becomes a Top Priority for B2B Companies

Enthusiastic customer response to Folloze is reflected in Q4 2019 sales, with the company achieving 100 percent growth in new revenue bookings (measured quarter-over-quarter), as well as signing a record number of new customers, including Edwards Lifesciences, RingCentral and Vistra. They join existing customers that include Akamai, Autodesk, Cisco, Dell, HPE, Roche, and Sangoma (Digium).

“Folloze had a tremendous 2019, capped by an amazing fourth quarter. Personalized marketing is the new table stakes for every B2B revenue marketing team,” commented Etai Beck, CEO and co-founder of Folloze. “In 2020, Folloze is well-positioned for growth as more B2B enterprises realign their sales and marketing teams around orchestrated and contextual customer engagement.”

Expanded Executive Team

The company has also bolstered its executive team with the hiring of Randy Brasche as Vice President of Marketing, and Eric Bauer as Vice President of Alliances and Business Development. Brasche will lead Folloze’s product marketing, demand generation, and brand-building programs, driving category awareness and growth for the Folloze platform. Bauer will build and drive Folloze’s Alliance and Business Development strategy, focused on working with the leading players in Account Based Marketing to deliver powerful customer solutions.

“We are in the midst of a massive shift in B2B marketing,” commented Brasche. “No longer relegated to the top of the funnel, B2B marketers must now architect the entire customer life cycle. The Folloze platform represents the gold standard for creating value-driven experiences at scale, and I’m excited to join the Folloze team to help define the next chapter in B2B marketing.”

Adds Bauer, “Folloze is already the premier solution for delivering deeply personalized journeys to B2B buyers. But every B2B seller has unique needs and context themselves, so we are joining with an impressive and rapidly growing ecosystem of partners to deliver deeply personalized solutions for them as well.”

The company is growing rapidly – Brasche will be located in Folloze’s expansive new corporate offices overlooking Foster City, CA, and Bauer will be positioned in Folloze’s new Denver, CO satellite office.
