Braintree's Runway to Acquisition by PayPal: A Fintech Marketing Case Study
Description
8. Fresh off a capital raise, Braintree was poised to disrupt decades of terminal processors and a mess of out-of-date transaction rails. They were a first mover—but they weren’t alone. Stripe also entered the market with a similar positioning and the race was on.
While acquisition was on Braintree’s mind, both payment platforms needed to rapidly build traction with developers to secure their place at the forefront of the e-commerce revolution.
Braintree had steadily amassed a dedicated following within the Ruby-on-Rails community, but to capture market share with enterprise merchants, they needed to scale developer buy-in significantly.
The answer: A developer marketing strategy.
Hear how Braintree was able to achieve the below results with the help of Crue’s B2D marketing campaign:
- 1,317% increase in MQLs per month
- 1,685% improved average CPA
