Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Integrating advanced agentic AI capabilities directly into the core of the Braze Customer Engagement Platform. This includes the rapid rollout and commercialization of BrazeAI Operator, BrazeAI Agent Console, and BrazeAI Decisioning Studio (built on the acquired OfferFit reinforcement learning engine) to automate campaign orchestration, journey optimization, and creative personalization.
Expected impact: Enables enterprise customers to run autonomous 1:1 marketing experiments at scale, driving higher ROI, increasing platform stickiness, and expanding Braze's operating leverage.
Targeting large-scale, data-intensive global enterprises to replace legacy marketing clouds with Braze's real-time, warehouse-native customer engagement platform.
Expected impact: Accelerates large-deal velocity (such as $6 million-plus deals) and expands the count of eight-figure ARR customers, driving robust remaining performance obligations (RPO).
