We couldn’t be more excited to promote our leading agency partners and their Cordial subject-matter experts who are proud to be represented as Cordial Certified Professionals. So, who’s certified so far? Revenue Automation Reid Morgan, Director, Marketing Automation & Digital Strategy “The Cordial platform and professional certification course were instrumental in expanding my understanding not only of what is possible with this cutting edge, data-driven platform; but also showed me how I can build extremely robust, targeted personalization into all my communications with smart and efficient workflows. This will let me work better, faster, and more efficiently for my clients and my company.” Revenue Automation serves business-to-consumer marketing executives by providing full-service marketing automation strategy, process development, system implementation, and outsourced marketing solutions focused on the acquisition, engagement, and retention of your customer base. Trendline Interactive Amy Collins, MBA, VP & Practice Lead, Solution Consulting “I found the Cordial certification to be very valuable as we continue to serve the needs of our clients. The certification process was detailed and in depth. It ensures that those that become certified are proficient in developing within the tool.” Rebecca Pascual, Solution Engineer “I will say it was one of the best exams I have taken for a certification as it truly tests your knowledge and expertise of the platform. The exam was well prepared and very thought-out. It’s easy to memorize and pass an exam, but for this exam, it requires you to demonstrate that you successfully know how to interact within the platform at all levels with the use cases provided. Certifications like this help prove our knowledge and expertise within the platform. I appreciate the opportunity to take this exam.” Bryan Nord, Solution Engineer “I found the two part Cordial certification process both challenging and thorough in the knowledge required. I am truly proud to now be a certified professional for Cordial’s innovative and versatile email platform.” Rudy Ramirez, Marketing Automation Manager “As someone who has a role that isn’t super technical at our agency, I focus on implementation and setup of campaigns in platforms, getting emails out the door for clients. So something like using REST APIs to send data to a platform would not be in my wheelhouse. This is something I hadn’t done before in Cordial. The fact that I was able to study the materials and documentation to figure out how to do that I think shows just how useful a certification like this is. It will push people to get a better view and understanding of what Cordial can do – and maybe finally learn something they’ve never done before (like me)!” Trendline Interactive is a full-service email marketing agency responsible for some of the largest and most successful email programs in the world.
