Salesforce Communities Case Study: Under Armour

Rainmaker leveraged Salesforce Communities to provide Under Armour customers a fully branded experience in which to suggest product ideas.

“Our project was on a very tight timeline, with a lot of moving parts, but Rainmaker was up for the challenge, and delivered. They were extremely responsive, thorough and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for support and enhancements to our system.”
– Kevin Culley, Sr. Director – Business Development, Innovation
