[Archived] Cross-Brand Opt-In

Page under review

Context

RBIberia operates multiple brands: PLK ES, BK PT, BK ES and TH ES; where all except TH ES are expected to use the RBI Platform by early 2024.

They currently use a cross-brand opt-in marketing strategy per country. This consists of asking new guests to accept marketing communications across all RBIberia brands in that country, instead of individual brands. For example, guests who sign up with PLK ES and opt-in for marketing communications will receive emails from BK ES and TH ES. Conversely, if a guest decides to opt-out of marketing communications, that should happen for the specific brand only. Continuing with the example above, if the same guest opts out of marketing communications from PLK ES, they should still be opted in for BK ES and TH ES.

Because this strategy is per country, BK PT is not affected by these requirements at this stage. This will change if/when RBIberia launch other brands in Portugal.

Business Goal

RBIberia is in the process of switching from Salesforce Marketing Cloud to Braze to manage marketing communications. They would like to continue using the cross-brand opt-in strategy documented above after switching to Braze.

Overview

This diagram shows an example scenario of guests signing up with PLK ES. It is intended to clarify scope of requirements across brands and systems. It is not meant to indicate a solution of how the opt-in settings will be shared across brands and systems (there will be a separate document for that).

Requirements summary

  • When a guest signs up for any RBIberia brand in Spain and opts in to marketing communications, the opt-in status should be applied to all RBIBeria brands: PLK ES, BK ES and TH ES

  • When a guest opts out of marketing communications for a given brand, that guest should remain opted in for other brands

  • Opted in status must be reflected in, and possible to change from, the RBI Admin Tool

  • Opted in status must be reflected in, and possible to change from, Salesforce Service Cloud for Tim Hortons only. It is not required for other brands, since these will use the RBI Admin Tool instead

  • Opted in status must be captured separately for email and push communications, regardless of how many checkboxes guests use to opt in (this is already the case).

  • Changes of opt-in status to Opted-In or Unsubscribed need to be captured, along with an associated time stamp indicating when the change happened. This is already the case, since the RBI Platform register an “User Attribute Changed” every time that the opt-in status changes, including the time stamp. This data is kept in mParticle for two years.

Assumptions

  • The requirements above will lead to an increase of costs with Braze, since each guest will be added to different brands (while they may not be registered with, and making purchases from, other brands)
