With Microsoft, Siemens KidsII, Imerys, Federal Home Loan Bank, and Gwinnett County Public Schools, being on the top list, the company’s account base goes into thousands. Blackstone’s strategic advice helps companies and organizations stabilize, thrive and grow during challenging times. Having completed their 200th project in Microsoft, “We operate for Microsoft in every country on various deals and products across channels and markets on different global go to market campaigns and initiatives. We do descriptive, predictive and prescriptive models at Microsoft,” explains Lee.
One of the most interesting projects done by Blackstone was to determine the next most likely purchase in a B2B world, then create a customized marketing campaign tailored to specific companies and specific individuals and then measure the return on marketing investment as well as the return on sales investment. Another was to benchmark partners who had common demographics, capabilities and competencies to predict their performance and prescribe a definitive roadmap for their success and progression through the partner channel. This led to the proper selection of the right partner on new go to market initiatives with the highest probability of success. Blackstone & Cullen aggregates over 50 data sources daily and delivers dashboards, scorecards, predictive, and prescriptive models to their sales, marketing, and finance and operations teams in every country every day.
Looking forward, Blackstone is driving growth with exceptional talent and geographic expansion as well as broadening the company’s extensive data and analytics experience, leading the way into the next great industry challenge of delivering prescriptive analytics today.
