Kudos awarded to JMP, Three Ireland, PowerSchool, TV 2, Sky UK, Anaplan, Promega, Esri, ReachOut, Adobe, and Intuit

AUSTIN, Texas (September 14, 2021) — Khoros, the award-winning leader in digital-first customer engagement software and services, today announced the winners and finalists of its second annual Khoros Kudos Awards. The awards recognized brands leveraging Khoros’ platform to deliver world-class digital customer experiences that save time and money, create revenue, and, ultimately, create customers for life.

The Khoros Kudos Awards featured 11 categories and submissions from leading, global brands that shared their stories and successes. Winners and finalists for each category were announced at the company’s third annual industry event Khoros Engage:

“At Khoros, we have the great privilege of working with some of the world’s best brands, and I’m excited to be able to recognize some of them for their tremendous work,” said Katherine Calvert, CMO at Khoros. “Over the past year, these organizations have leveraged technology to make an impact with their customers, their companies and their communities. Huge ‘kudos’ to our 2021 winners and finalists.”

Winners were determined by a two-step process: initial peer voting by way of “kudos” (similar to “likes”) on Atlas, Khoros’ brand-owned community, and then those scores were combined with the evaluations of a panel of judges (comprised of Khoros leaders and independent industry experts).

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
