Sony Crackle Delivers Personalized Experiences With Deloitte Digital and Salesforce

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte Digital today announced that it has been recognized with a Salesforce Partner Innovation Award for its work with Sony Crackle, a free streaming service from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Deloitte Digital helped Sony Crackle transform its business by leveraging StreamMIX, a DigitalMIX™ solution, to demonstrate the value of actionable customer insights to improve subscriber interest, increase retention rates and grow advertising revenue.

For this innovative work, Salesforce named Deloitte Digital a recipient of the Salesforce Partner Innovation Award in the Innovation in Media category.
