Context
Our client is a prominent European brand specializing in the world of children, offering a wide selection of products ranging from baby clothing and toys to furniture and childcare essentials. Operating in a highly competitive digital landscape, the brand sought to modernize its customer relations by placing social media listening and proactive engagement at the core of its strategy.

We implemented a robust omnichannel solution leveraging the Salesforce ecosystem:
- Salesforce Service Cloud: Acting as the central hub for interaction management and customer history.
- Salesforce Social Studio: Deployed to monitor and manage 11 distinct social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram).
