Oregon Public Broadcasting boosts email open rates 170% with Idealist consulting

Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) faced the challenge of modernizing its communications to support its ad sales efforts. With a small team of account executives spending significant time on manual outreach, OPB needed to implement a marketing automation solution to get engagement metrics, develop a nurturing strategy, and decrease manual work. They partnered with vendor Idealist Consulting to implement Pardot, now known as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.

Idealist Consulting helped OPB strategize and implement a nurture campaign, leading to a 170% increase in email open rates and three new accounts directly attributed to the new system. The solution streamlined their prospecting process and provided valuable insights into prospect interests. Using Pardot's features for customized content, OPB achieved a 43% open rate on a targeted email, far exceeding the nonprofit industry average.
