Black Rifle Coffee Company (BRCC) is a premium, veteran-founded coffee brand that runs its lifecycle marketing on Salesforce Marketing Cloud. BRCC partnered with Kasama to assess that environment and turn the findings into a more scalable, efficient marketing engine.

The brief

  • Audit the SFMC implementation to surface gaps and risks
  • Implement recommendations for scalability and long-term efficiency
01

The challenge

A closer look at BRCC's Salesforce Marketing Cloud surfaced four areas holding the program back.

  • Configuration gaps

    Einstein features were under-configured and underutilized, leaving engagement tooling on the table.

  • Data issues

    Duplicate contacts muddied segmentation and inflated audience counts.

  • Deliverability challenges

    Incomplete sender authentication put inbox placement and sender reputation at risk.

  • Integration weaknesses

    Misaligned data flows between SFMC and the CRM created inconsistent records.

02

Our approach

Kasama's evaluation focused on five areas of the environment.

  • System administration

    Reviewed Einstein configurations and overall account setup.

  • Deliverability

    Audited authentication — SPF, DKIM, DMARC — and sender reputation.

  • Salesforce integration

    Checked CRM alignment and the accuracy of data flowing between systems.

  • Subscriber management

    Resolved duplicate-contact handling and tightened list hygiene.

  • Implementation validation

    Verified configuration accuracy end to end before rollout.

03

What we delivered

  • Tuned Einstein engagement

    Refined Einstein Engagement settings to activate smarter send-time and content optimization.

  • Clean subscriber data

    Resolved duplicate contacts for accurate segmentation and reporting.

  • Hardened deliverability
