Spike, the leading conversational email app, recently unveiled Spike for Teams, an end-to-end email and team chat service designed to help marketing teams by delivering an unparalleled, unified communication and collaboration experience. Hosted entirely in the Spike platform, this solution enables seamless communication between internal teams and external individuals such as partners, clients, and vendors, regardless of whether or not they are using Spike.

Every marketer knows that effective and efficient communication is paramount in aligning with its core branches – from SEO, social media, product marketing, and graphic design to content marketing. By establishing clear and bulletproof lines of communication with both clients and team members, companies can guarantee that everyone is on the same page, comprehending the organization's objectives.  

In fact, a recent study shows that poor communication can result in significant financial losses for businesses, amounting to approximately $60 million annually. Conversely, organizations that implement effective communication strategies have a 50% higher chance of experiencing reduced employee turnover rates and a 47% increase in shareholder returns.  

In a nutshell, disorganized communication yields inadequate collaboration. This is a risk that marketing teams just can’t take, especially in today’s hyper-competitive era. To help them stay in their A-game, Spike for Teams takes a comprehensive approach by integrating various communication channels such as conversational email, messaging, video conferencing, AI-assisted services, project management, and collaborative document management into one unified platform. This results in a simplified user experience and a single invoice, all at a reduced cost.
