Salesforce Announces a New Streaming Service Called Salesforce+

Salesforce announced a new streaming service with compelling live and on-demand content for every role, industry and business line.

Salesforce+ contains original series, podcasts, live experiences, and other programming. Salesforce+ will brighten the future of technology in the digital, work anywhere world with engaging stories, thought leadership and expert advice. It will influence millions of Trailblazers to learn new skills, find new job opportunities, and make change in the world.

“In the last one and half year, we’ve had to reimagine how to achieve in the new digital-first world. We reimagined our events, shifting them to all-digital brand experiences and introduced new, relevant, original content,” said Sarah Franklin, President and Chief Marketing Officer of Salesforce. “We won't go back, we are building the future right now. Just like Disney, Netflix and Peloton have done with streaming services for consumers, Salesforce+ is providing an always-on, business media platform that builds trusted relationships with customers and a sense of belonging for the business community.”

Salesforce+ features original programming from Salesforce Studios

The main content for Salesforce+ has been produced by Salesforce Studios. Salesforce Studios is expanding its team of writers, editors and producers to deliver new original programming to the lineup.

The current line-up features of Salesforce+:

• “Leading Through Change”: It was launched in March 2020 as a weekly program that focuses on how business leaders were dealing with the global pandemic. Having more than 60 episodes, it has had more than 700 million views and won the 2021 Content Marketing Award for Best Content Marketing Program.
• “Connections”: It displays some of the most innovative marketers from companies like IBM, Levi’s, and GoFundMe. Sarah Franklin, President and CMO of Salesforce, talks with some of the brightest marketing minds about how they are connecting with their audiences in a new way.
• “The Inflection Point”: It features CEOs from leading like Coca-Cola, PayPal, Honeywell, and Workday that share how their personal backstories, professional influences and values inform their leadership. The series displays a different side of some of the world’s best executives.
• “Boss Talks”: It is a career advice series hosted by Ebony Beckwith, who is Salesforce’s Chief Philanthropy Officer. It is designed to influence professional growth. Beckwith dives into topics such as dealing with imposter syndrome and unlocking workplace authenticity.
• “Simply Put”: It is a short video series that makes complicated business problems easy to understand. It focuses on topics like how to build an ecommerce business and how to increase digital sales.

In the near future, Salesforce+ will launch more original content featuring leaders in areas like sales and service, along with a new series on how Trailblazers from small communities are improving their skills to find new career opportunities and build generational wealth.
