Accurate attribution has improved budget allocation and guides daily campaign decisions
Branch integrates with my existing marketing technology stack by using MoEngage and Braze, so basically all the marketing campaigns automatically generate the Branch link, allowing us to track referral and deep linking from each channel. Branch handles cross-platform attribution for my campaigns pretty well; compared to AppsFlyer or Firebase, I prefer using Branch. Branch helps me streamline reporting for my marketing team by automating deep linking and referral links, so it provides me better views of my campaign optimization. Branch supports my mobile app growth strategy by giving me a better view of which channels work and which need improvement. With this data, I can rethink or change my strategies on budget allocation and marketing approach. Branch's deep linking capabilities have helped my user experience and conversion rates by allowing users to click links from ads or push notifications, directing them to the right page in the front end. On the back end, we as the company get a better view of which channel generated this user, so I can optimize the marketing budget. I would describe the learning curve for new users getting started with Branch as smooth; I would definitely recommend Branch. I use Branch's analytics and reporting features daily, every time. My advice for others looking into using Branch is that you should definitely consider using Branch; if you are looking for attribution apps or software, Branch should be on your list. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

Unified customer profiles have powered automated journeys and precise data driven campaigns
I found the platform excellent for having unified customer profiles, which I believe is one of the biggest selling points of Braze because it allows you to know your customer in a single profile card. The ease with which you can add new attributes and events and neatly package values underneath is impressive. In banking, we pushed clients towards different types of banking rates and tiers, which has me always wanting to return, leading to a lot of qualifications and certificates because I enjoy the platform so much and want to engage with it further down my career. Braze's best features, for me, are the unified profile cards, along with the ease of connecting different channels, including email as a focus, plus push notifications and extending that to things to in-app messages, content cards, and SMS. That connection is felt immediately upon onboarding with Braze, as the ease of use and the sophisticated UI design allows marketers or automation specialists such as me to do amazing things quickly and intuitively. Braze's analytics side is another interesting part, as it allows you to slice campaigns and different tests that you were running very easily, unlike other platforms I have used, such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, which often requires workarounds for information. With Braze, the friendly UI enables you to download large volumes of data about your customers and understand campaign performance and why people reacted as they did. Braze's campaign feature is also essential for experts using automation or large-scale segmentation, and the campaign execution side is very intuitive, allowing for slick A/B testing and accurate conversion goal setup.
