Lucy Mazalon

• Pardot and Salesforce Consultant, Editor @Salesforceben.com and The DRIP
• Salesforce Marketing Champion 2020

"The Champions have unrivaled enthusiasm and are incredibly supportive. I have really valued being part of a network of experts who share the same passions as me. The Marketing Champions come with expertise in different marketing products, which has showcased highlights of what’s happening in the Marketing Cloud/Datorama spaces - serving as a 'what you REALLY need to know' about these cutting-edge and fast-evolving Salesforce platform products."

Kerry Townsend

• Principal Consultant @AmberStar Consulting Ltd
• London, Salesforce Marketers Group Leader
• Salesforce Marketing Champion 2020 and MVP

Kerry Townsend has been working with Salesforce since 2006. Being a former Marketing Manager she was eager to work with Marketing Cloud as soon as the opportunity arose. Since then she has worked with a series of clients on their journey adopting marketing automation with Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud.

“I am so pleased at how much demystifying and learning content we have seen from Salesforce this year and also the consolidation of functionality in the Setup area of MC.”      

This year Kerry has given sessions about ‘Getting to know marketing cloud’ at the Xforce Summit and at Wellington,NZ, Admin Community Group – although she would have preferred to attend in person. The increased time at home has also had some benefits, as she has found the time to study and pass the Marketing Cloud Admin and Developer exams.

 “For the first time, this year we had a dedicated Marketing Technology Track at London’s Calling.  As the pandemic hit I am proud that we were able to keep our London marketer community together by going online so there was an option for those that wanted to connect. We have also made the recordings of these events available on a YouTube channel, SFMCLondon, to help with the mission of enabling more people to know and understand Marketing Cloud.”

"Being a Lightning Champion this past year has been such a great experience. I have answered questions on webinars, presented at community groups and conferences, written articles, been on Trailhead Live and provided feedback to Product Owners at Salesforce. I have also enjoyed the exclusive learning and leadership opportunities that Salesforce hosts for Lightning Champions. As an evangelist for the platform, I have been motivated to keep on top of new features and understand how to leverage existing features.

Esha Garg

• Salesforce Marketing Engineer @DazeWorks
• Salesforce Marketing Champion 2020

"Being a #MarketingChampion2020 I've tried to connect with the experts globally, learn from them and educate the awesome trailblazer community on Pardot and Marketing cloud. The best I could serve the previous year was the Pardot specialist bootcamp in june'20 and Pardot consultant bootcamp in jan'21. I'm also proud to say that being a group leader of Salesforce Marketers Group(Pardot), New Delhi, India I was able to share my subject expertise with the community. I was able to co-host #BlazeYourCertification, a campaign to guide trailblazers on road to Salesforce Admin Certification. Also, as Trailhead is for everyone, I came up with an initiative of #SalesforceKidsIN to teach kids Salesforce through Trailhead"

Morgan E. Wiedmann

• Business Consultant/Marketing Strategist @Cheshire Impact
• Salesforce Marketing Champion 2020

Over the past year, I have been honored to participate in the Salesforce Marketing Champion program and look forward to continuing to share my expertise in the Pardot and Salesforce ecosystem! I kicked my activities off last year with a blog post on how this virtual world isn’t stopping Trailblazers, then shared insight from my previous experiences as a customer in a peer insight group, after I hosted the NH B2B User Group event, and then my inner journalist came out and I blogged about the event, which led me to a publication on Pardot’s blog! And the activities kept going as I shared my love the Pardot Life Hacks’ podcast with the topic of Connected Campaigns, followed by a publication in The DRIP,  to my most recent the speaking engagement during the Pardot New Delhi User Group’s Pardot Consultant Bootcamp, where I spoke on day four with all things email marketing! I am excited to share with the Trailblazer Community my next upcoming activities, as well as continue to blaze my trails and be inspired by the amazing fellow Marketing Champions.
