SAN FRANCISCO and HONG KONG—September 20, 2018—Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced that Cathay Pacific—a Hong Kong-based international airline that offers passenger and cargo services to more than 200 destinations in Asia, North America, Australia, Europe and Africa—is using Salesforce to accelerate digital transformation, generate new revenue streams and improve customer experiences with personalized engagements. An existing Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud customer since 2014, Cathay Pacific is deploying Salesforce Marketing Cloud to unify sales, service and marketing, and deliver connected, personalized customer experiences across any channel, including email, social, digital advertising and more.

To stay competitive, airlines need to be able to leverage technology to meet and exceed these expectations,” said Mark Innes, General Manager and Executive Vice President, APAC at Salesforce. “We are thrilled that Cathay Pacific is continuing its partnership with Salesforce by adopting Marketing Cloud, and we look forward to scaling to even greater heights in the future.”
