Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed a team of 2 Salesforce architects and 5 developers over 14 weeks. The project included: Salesforce Advertising Studio implementation, integration with 3 legacy CIS systems via MuleSoft, migration of 1.2M customer records with deduplication, custom audience segmentation for 8 service territories, and automated compliance workflows for state regulatory requirements.

Results: Campaign reconciliation reduced from 12 days to 2 days. Advertising waste decreased by 67%, saving $2.4M annually. Customer acquisition cost dropped by 34% within 6 months. The project delivered 1 week ahead of the 14-week schedule.

Challenge: Utilities Salesforce Ad Cloud Development was required to replace a 15-year-old marketing system that couldn't support digital channels or integrate with the city's open data initiatives.

Solution: Smartbrain.io provided a 3-engineer team for a 10-week implementation. Scope included: Salesforce Advertising Studio setup, integration with the city's open data portal, mobile-first campaign templates, smart meter data integration for usage-based targeting, and public transparency dashboards for advertising spend.
