The Challenge

Who is Kudos

Kudos is an employee engagement, culture, and analytics platform that harnesses the power of recognition. Kudos offers a solution that helps empower organizations worldwide to build thriving cultures, drive employee engagement, and improve business outcomes.  

Quest for email marketing excellence

Meet Taryn Hart, the Content Marketing Specialist at Kudos, who is the driving force behind the company's content strategy. Taryn realized that email marketing was a linchpin in Kudos' communication efforts with internal teams and customers. However, there were hurdles in their path.

The existing email template builder, Salesforce Account Engagement (formerly Pardot), fell short on design flexibility, suffered from rendering issues, and demanded labor-intensive manual adjustments. Determined to revamp their email strategy, Taryn set out on a quest to find a solution that would not only tackle these challenges but also give her the creative ownership she craved, all while keeping their existing CRM.

Transforming Kudos' email marketing approach with Beefree

Taryn Hart needed an email design powerhouse that could meet Kudos where they were. She sought a platform that offered unparalleled design flexibility, ensuring Kudos' emails would not just be visually captivating but consistently responsive on any device or email client.

Collaboration within the team needed a facelift, with quicker feedback and approvals to streamline email creation. Plus, Taryn wanted a solution that made manual coding adjustments a thing of the past.

Enter RGE Studio (formerly Beefree), the game-changer. RGE Studio liberated Taryn to design emails without limits, with customizable, mobile-responsive templates that seamlessly represented the brand.

RGE Studio's collaboration features, including real-time commenting and status updates, encourage teamwork and slash approval process times. The intuitive drag-and-drop builder put Taryn in the driver's seat, and RGE Studio's continuous updates and responsive customer support sealed the deal.
