At Drift, we put the customer at the center of everything we do. So it’s humbling when our customers go out of their way to share their own Drift success stories back with us. The stories they shared throughout 2020 were inspiring. From figuring out how to accelerate revenue while working with fewer resources, to delivering engaging online customer experiences in a digital-first world, to building virtual events on the fly, and so much more, our customers inspire us every single day.
While 2020 might be behind us, I want to continue to recognize and celebrate the marketing and sales leaders who went above and beyond with Drift this past year. These fifteen Drift customers show us the power of the Drift Platform to accelerate revenue and I’m thrilled to share their stories here.
So without further ado, meet Drift’s Top 15 Revenue Accelerators of 2020.
