๐ Hi Bonfire friends!
๐ค tap, tap, tap - is this thing on? ๐ Now that I've set the stage with a corny first line, I'm Elizabeth and I joined Braze towards the end of March to lead the Community & Advocacy team (๐ MaggieBrennan, EmilyCalderon and SadafQayumi have done amazing work!). I'm new to Braze but not new to community - before Braze, I built the Slack Community at Slack and the Mobile Growth Community at Branch (where a company formerly known as Appboy joined or hosted a number of our community meetups!). I'm โจ stoked โจto be at Braze and excited to get to know y'all - drop me a message if you want to connect or share what being part of Bonfire has meant to you. Let's go!Hello Everyone! I'm Beth from Domino's Pizza ๐ (UK)
We've been using Braze for a few years but I am just back from Maternity leave and it was brought to my attention that Bonfire has had a facelift so here I am! I'm hoping to build some new connections in the lifecycle and loyalty space. I am also looking to hire some Braze talent into the team so if you are looking for a new role in retention or loyalty please get in touch.
