SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte Digital today announced that it has been recognized with a Salesforce Partner Innovation Award for its work with Sony Crackle, a free streaming service from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Deloitte Digital helped Sony Crackle transform its business by leveraging StreamMIX, a DigitalMIX™ solution, to demonstrate the value of actionable customer insights to improve subscriber interest, increase retention rates and grow advertising revenue.

For this innovative work, Salesforce named Deloitte Digital a recipient of the Salesforce Partner Innovation Award in the Innovation in Media category.

"We believe the tools implemented give us the opportunity to glean important consumer insights and have an immediate and meaningful dialogue with our engaged audience across multiple channels," said Eric Berger, chief digital officer, Sony Pictures Television. "Deloitte's deep Salesforce knowledge enabled us to enhance our direct to consumer strategy."

"StreamMIX enables Sony Crackle to leverage a single consolidated view of the customer," said Danny Ledger principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP with Deloitte Digital.
