manufacturer’s CRM for swift follow-up.

In deploying their campaign using Stream’s Integrated Marketing Cloud’s Lead Generation program, the automotive manufacturer sent incentivized SMS texts, instant emails that
included mobile-friendly printable coupon codes, and weekly emails delivered to people
with unredeemed promotions.
