Focus on customers has always been Cloudinary\u2019s mantra. Because we owe them our success, we are constantly reaching out to our customers, not just for feedback on our offerings, but also for their vision, wish list, and buy-in of what Cloudinary can do to meet their needs and make them succeed. About six months ago, it occurred to us that it would be beneficial if we could meet regularly with those who are behind innovation at our key customers\u2014executives, product gurus, developers, content managers\u2014to swap strategies, product roadmaps, best practices, and such. In particular, we\u2019d like to solicit actionable feedback as a foundation for our plans of product enhancements.<\/p>\n

A subsequent meeting with our product chief, Nadav Soferman<\/a>, started the process of the formation of a Customer Advisory Board (CAB)<\/strong> with representatives from Cloudinary and from our key customers. The board\u2019s first all-day meeting will occur on Friday, May 3 at Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, the day after Cloudinary\u2019s annual digital-media conference, ImageCon 2019<\/a>, to be held at the same venue on May 1-2.<\/p>\n

Membership<\/h2>\n

Altogether, the Cloudinary CAB boasts a customer membership of 25 representatives from 15 companies, among them Jane.com<\/a>, Just Eat<\/a>, Hike<\/a>, HelloFresh<\/a>, Kenshoo<\/a>, Nintendo<\/a>, and StubHub<\/a>. They hail from 11 countries: Canada, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, U.K., and others. Representatives from Cloudinary include our three founders: Itai Lahan, CEO<\/a>; Tal Lev-Ami, CTO<\/a>; and Nadav Soferman, CPO<\/a>; also Amit Sharon, VP of Customer Success<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Agenda<\/h2>\n

Attendance at the two-day ImageCon\u2014whose agenda includes workshops, tech talks, and keynote speeches\u2014prior to the CAB meeting promises to spark new ideas and concepts, transforming everyone\u2019s digital experience.<\/p>\n

The agenda for the May 3 meeting features the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Presentation by Cloudinary\u2019s CPO on product strategy, roadmap, and analytics<\/li>\n
  • Presentation of use cases by three customers<\/li>\n
  • Brainstorming sessions in three groups with a focus on verticals, use cases, and product and market trends<\/li>\n
  • Summary of future directions and priorities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Key Benefits<\/h2>\n

    The Cloudinary CAB is a collaborative forum that emphasizes sharing of experiences, observations, concerns, problems. Both Cloudinary and its key customers stand to reap many benefits. Here are a few of them:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • An opportunity to help strategize Cloudinary\u2019s product direction and roadmap<\/li>\n
    • Networking avenues with peers and other professionals in the visual-media sector<\/li>\n
    • Establishment of rapport, camaraderie, and communication channels with Cloudinary\u2019s product-team leaders and management<\/li>\n
    • Illuminating insight into the trends of the visual-media market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Frequency of Meetups<\/h2>\n

      Cloudinary\u2019s CAB program is ongoing. We plan to meet annually, face to face, as exemplified by the upcoming May 3 meeting. Periodic virtual meetings will follow during the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

      The birth of the Cloudinary CAB, a milestone in the company\u2019s history, is shaping up to be the cornerstone on which rests the success of Cloudinary and its partners and customers for many years to come. Need I say that we can\u2019t wait?<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":21875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cloudinary_featured_overwrite":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Debut of the Cloudinary Customer Advisory Board<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Cloudinary customer advisory board is a collaborative forum that emphasizes sharing.
