Key partnership highlights:

Customer Highlights

We also wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our amazing customers for their continued partnership and collaboration. Your support means the world to us! 

Highlighting these customer case studies:

Canva, the most popular design platform in the world, built a Composable CDP using Snowflake and Census to harness 200 terabytes of first-party data in Snowflake. They achieved results including:

  • Personalizing customer journeys at scale to over 170 million monthly users
  • Increasing email open rates by 33%
  • Saving $200k on engineering costs

Canva also leveraged Snowflake’s new Dynamic Tables feature to reduce personalization turnaround time by over 50x, from 3 days to 1 hour.

Canva's Composable CDP architecture with Snowflake, Census, dbt, and Fivetran enables marketing teams to take action in Braze and advertising platforms

ClickUp, a project management platform that serves 8 million users, cut Customer Acquisition Costs by a jaw-dropping 50% in 6 months. ClickUp uses Snowflake, dbt, and Census in their Composable CDP to sync a predictive LTV model that optimizes ad targeting in Google and Facebook. To enable non-technical marketing users, ClickUp also uses Census Audience Hub to manages audience in one central place — on top of Snowflake. They can model complex data relationships between users, workspaces, and companies, then make those available to everyone in a no-code interface.

Zip, a fintech platform that helps millions of consumers access flexible payment options, leverages Census Audience Hub on top of Snowflake to enable their Growth Marketing team to segment audiences with all their data and deliver unified experiences through Braze and in-app messaging.


Census 🤝 Snowflake

As a Snowflake Premier Technology Partner, Census has partnered closely with Snowflake since the beginning to empower marketing and business teams to do more with their data.

Recently, Census was named a Leader in Snowflake’s 2023 Modern Marketing Data Stack Report for Customer Data Activation. We were also highlighted in Snowflake’s launch of the Marketing Data Cloud, where we presented on How Canva uses Census and the Snowflake Marketing Data Cloud to Personalize Campaigns to 170M+ Users.

Snowflake customers can quickly and easily sign up for Census via Snowflake Partner Connect, which connects a Census workspace to their Snowflake instance with just a few clicks.

“Congratulations to Census for being named the Snowflake Data Cloud Product Marketing Application Partner of the Year. A strong partner ecosystem is foundational to Snowflake’s mission of enabling every organization to be data-driven. Census is core to that mission, and together, we’re helping organizations across industries better activate and unlock their data for business value.”

The Problem: Your good data is always one request away. Your data team built some great data models in your warehouse; it could be with dbt, or could be plain ol’ SQL — the typical Accounts, Contacts, and Teams golden models. Now you work with another vendor. Maybe a third-party enrichment provider writes open job listings and description data for your warehouse, like Sumble.com. Or perhaps you have an enriched target accounts list generated in another marketing tool.

Census Datasets: The first step toward collaborative data transformation

Late nights, long hours, and a constant string of tickets and feedback are the reality for most data and IT teams today. As every company’s appetite for data grows, technical teams are forced to scale up support to ensure that the right data lands in the right place. But it doesn’t stop there. Data teams are expected to provide actionable insights, comprehensive data governance, and compliant datasets for their entire organization while juggling new technologies, unclear expectations, and an ever-growing volume of data. Data teams are overwhelmed, business teams are confused and anxious, and everyone is spending more time discussing processes and procedures — and less time innovating.
