How commercetools drove innovation in eCommerce with Jasper

With Jasper in its arsenal, commercetools has enabled marketers to streamline processes, augment communication, and focus on strategic initiatives.

“When you need to create a one-pager from a 50-page slide deck, turning it around can seem daunting. Jasper makes this simple. Believing that, as a marketer, you can do more than you think you can, empowers you to reach new heights in your role.”

Jen Jones
CMO
 
 
 

Scaling Challenges and the Demand for Change

commercetools is a prime example of the challenges that come with rapid growth.

With an ever-increasing demand for content, the marketing team at commercetools was looking for ways to expand their output without compromising quality. Jen Jones, Chief Marketing Officer at commercetools, saw an opportunity to revamp productivity by leveraging generative AI (genAI).

 

Spearheading the GenAI Initiative

Recognizing the profound benefits of genAI, finding the right tool was a priority for not only Jen’s marketing team, but the entire company. The use of genAI ultimately led to enhanced efficiency and productivity, but also to a happier, more fulfilled workforce. “I wanted everyone to get back to doing what they love.”

commercetools focused on addressing its teams’ pain points, aiming to make work more rewarding and productive. Rather than mandating specific use cases, Jen worked with an internal AI task force to gather the marketing department’s feedback on the tasks they desired to automate and tailored commercetools’ Jasper workflows around these use cases. 

 

An AI-Powered Culture: Happy Employees and Optimized Workflows

The incorporation of Jasper marked a significant turning point for commercetools in driving productivity across their organization. These time efficiencies created an environment where the team could collaborate more effectively, align messaging within a single day, and concentrate on more strategic tasks like studying target prospects and tailoring outreach sequences.   

The integration of Jasper didn't just elevate productivity and efficiency; it boosted overall job satisfaction by removing repetitive tasks.

  • 93% reduction in time spent crafting specific campaigns 
  • 67% time savings to revamp existing content 
  • 75% faster production of personalized outreach sequences for BDRs 
  • 83% faster market research enabling quicker decision-making 
  • 83% faster product description writing 
  • 88% time savings on tracking performance metrics 
  • 75% faster research to keep up with competition 
  • 98% faster meta description writing

 

The Future with Jasper

commercetools continues to leverage Jasper in reshaping its workflows and driving business value. The ability to promptly generate personalized outreach sequences, simplify complex information, and access centralized knowledge has revolutionized its operations.

With Jasper in its arsenal, commercetools has enabled marketers to streamline processes, augment communication, and focus on strategic initiatives. 

 

“Jasper has helped me boost my productivity significantly, from helping me edit and revise content, to information discovery. Leveraging Jasper, I’m able to work smarter.”

- Jen Jones, CMO

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success.

Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
