Excitement is an understatement

It would be difficult to overstate our excitement leading up to the official unveiling of the all new Cannonball this week at ad:tech in Sydney. After much development, refining and polishing, we are finally revealing the fruits of our labour, and it’s pretty darn cool if I don’t say so myself!

Cannonball has been passionately crafted from the ground up to provide a high performance, robust platform to facilitate innovation in the electronic direct marketing industry. We are extremely happy with the enviable feature set and flexibility the new platform is launching with, and even more excited about our innovation roadmap and the many exotic destinations that lie ahead.

At Cannonball Communications, our vision is to provide the most innovative platform, services and support to power high performing, value adding eDM campaigns…. and to do it all with unparalleled style. We are passionate about co-creation of our platform, working closely with our clients and drawing from their experience and desires to ensure continual improvement and paradigm changing industry leadership.

We will also be working on expanding our website with a whole range of eDM resources and Cannonball training material. In the meantime, have a look around, contact us if you would like an online demo, and if you’re in Sydney come and say hi at ad:tech.
