    Our New Code Ninja!

    When Kari is not coding, she's likely making herself a new outfit for the next comic expo — we're thinking she could have easily been one of the members of the Big Bang Theory crew, and is a natural fit as a new member of the Kickbyte development team.

    Kari brings an extremely positive attitude and a wealth of experience having worked extensively with marketing teams and large organizations utilizing enterprise systems. She is a full-stack Sitecore Certified Professional Developer with a knack for modern front-end development, and a computing science background to back it all up. Welcome to the team!

    Sitecore Symposium 2017

    In order to provide our customers with the latest insights in web content management and digital marketing using Sitecore, our team attended the annual Sitecore Symposium in Las Vegas. Some of the features we found most interesting with the official launch of Sitecore 9, was the new Marketing Automation Engine; a marketers dream for creating and automating the customer journey. Additionally, better deployment capabilities with new headless CMS options, improved and fully integrated form creation for marketers, machine learning and AI to help drive better customer experiences, and new & improved integration support for CRM, ERP, and any other external systems using xConnect and the Data Exchange Framework.

    Finally, a preview demo of the future direction of Sitecore was shown and was jaw-dropping inspirational to say the least, we're extremely excited for what Sitecore has planned and are thrilled our customers are going to have the most cutting edge platform for a long while.

    If you want to see these features and were unable to attend the event, we've got you covered, and are happy to show you what you've missed and what lies ahead, but most importantly what the new possibilities are for your organization in delivering exceptional customer experiences.

    Helping CWB accelerate campaign time to market

    Kickbyte helped make it easier for one of western Canada's largest banks to create and launch new marketing campaigns. As CWB already utilizes Sitecore for their web content management needs, we created a set of special marketing campaign landing page templates. Accompanied with a modern responsive design and a set of advanced customization options for authors, CWB is now able to rapidly create marketing campaigns, reduce the overhead and development costs, and market the campaigns to mobile users.
