On a robust customer engagement platform like Braze, having a strategic partner is invaluable — from guiding you through implementation and onboarding to helping you set strategy and providing ongoing campaign services — ensuring you harness the platform's full potential and unlock exciting new possibilities.
Braze is for marketers who want better solutions. Stitch is for marketers who use Braze.
A new martech system can feel like a labyrinth. You have to adjust to a different user interface and operability. The system must integrate with and talk to the other tools in your pre-existing tech stack and scale as your organization grows.
Once you learn a feature or two, you have a sneaking suspicion that you're not using the platform correctly or making the most of its potential. Actually, you're not sure if you know how to approach it from the start.
A partner like Stitch will provide Braze consulting to help you maximize your investment and save hours of frustrating DIY attempts. We are there to support you every step of the way of your marketing journey, from inception to completion to iteration and analysis.
Our strategy services ensure you have a strong foundation for your marketing program from the beginning. We'll work with you on customer journey mapping to accurately depict your customer's end-to-end interactions with your brand.

Analyze the current state of your marketing programs, identify gaps, and establish future KPIs. We'll provide clear recommendations to guide you to an optimal future state and prioritize technology implementations.
You may have a strategy, but the thought of platform implementation is daunting. How can you install a new system without compromising your current tech stack? Don't feel alone.

Like you, we're marketers. Beyond platform consultation, we have a few tricks up our sleeves to provide ongoing support in areas like:
Torrents of customer data flow into your organization every day. But how much of that data can you trust? For customer data to be valid, it must be accurate—free from duplicates, inconsistencies, and errors. It also needs to be organized to leverage it appropriately.
However, that's easier said than done. Different channels fire hose data from every direction. Messages that were relevant one day are obsolete the next. Customers expect instant communication and help; even the slightest delay may drive them to seek another brand.
You need a way to store and manage customer data and make it fit for purpose. A customer engagement platform centralizes customer interactions and sets you up for better, faster communication. As Forbes points out, engagement means building trust and relationships to keep your customers returning for more.1 Customer engagement platforms are invaluable assets for forming authentic, helpful connections.
