How You Can Collaborate in Real Time to Build Pitch Proposals Overnight
It’s no secret that marketing and sales teams have a love-hate relationship. But there’s one thing that binds them like no other: The pressure of creating pitch decks overnight.
The struggle is real.
Be it for a new marketing campaign or a sales idea, pitch decks need multiple teams in different parts of the world to collaborate towards a single goal—and race with the clock.
That’s why, more often than not, marketing and sales teams watch deadlines fly past and risk losing potential customers, fail to beat the competition, and adversely impact revenue.
But with G Suite, marketing teams can now collaborate in real time, tweak proposals, add missing data, and write and edit the same file—all together. In fact, 74 percent of all time spent in Docs, Sheets, and Slides is on collaborative work—that is, multiple people creating and editing content together. That means they can create pitch decks overnight.
With AI and machine learning powering, and protecting, the G Suite, today’s marketing and sales teams have a smarter, quicker and more secure platform to ensure their ideas get to market faster and also remain within the organization.
That’s probably why companies like Whirlpool, Nielsen, BBVA, and Broadcom are among the many who chose G Suite to move faster, better connect their teams, and advance their competitive edge.

Helpful and human: G Suite’s vision for your future workspace
With an accelerated shift to remote working brought on by COVID-19, it’s clearer than ever that an organization’s success relies on its people and how they work. No matter where they’re working from, who they’re working with, or what projects they’re working on, organizations need to enable their employees to have impact.
That’s why, schools are figuring out remote learning models. Doctors are using Google Meet to consult with patients via video call. I believe COVID-19 is the catalyst that will accelerate the transition to more flexible and distributed teams. We’re seeing this trend clearly from both employers and employees. 80% of the workforce would really like the flexibility to work from home at least some of the time, and 74% of CFOs intend to shift some employees to work from home permanently after COVID-19.
From the beginning, G Suite was designed with human impact in mind: to help people work together from anywhere to achieve bigger things in work and in life.
G Suite’s Vice President and General Manager, Javier Soltero, talks about what the future of G Suite means for your organization. Get a window into the newest, most exciting innovations and hear how G Suite is helping organizations navigate what’s next.

Discovery’s Massive Workspace Migration Fuels Innovation and Collaboration

In the past two decades, Discovery has moved from a purely cable business based in the U.S. to a global media and entertainment powerhouse. Like many other businesses in the industry, we’ve had to adjust to the unique shifts in people’s behaviors and preferences, almost all of which result from the rise in streaming.
We have always been consumer-obsessed at Discovery, with a corporate culture built on the desire to entertain and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds with exceptional content. As we’ve grown, we have also learned just how important it is to be staff-obsessed, giving our employees the best possible experiences so they can continue to innovate and deliver the world-class content our customers expect.
In 2019, we decided one way to fuel innovation and collaboration among employees was to bring in Google Workspace. Selected for its intuitive, easy-to-use, and constantly evolving tools, Google Workspace enables teams to seamlessly create, connect, and collaborate anywhere, anytime.
Given the scope of our ambitions, and recognizing the challenges of migrating 16,500 global employees to a new collaboration solution, we worked with Google Cloud premier partner SADA to get the job done.
Change management amid a massive migration
We began the move to Google Workspace by migrating our document storage system from a legacy cloud provider to Google Drive. This included 86 million items amounting to about two petabytes of data migrated with minimal disruptions. A few months later we completed our move to Google Workspace by migrating 1.2 million calendar invites and 20,800 mail accounts, including thousands of collaborative inboxes and delegated accounts.
In addition to the technical support and Google Workspace expertise that SADA provided, they also partnered with our project team on the change management strategy. Despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, our training team and SADA were able to offer outstanding educational opportunities to assist our workforce in the transition and to get the most out of Google Workspace. This included collaborating on over 240 global webinars in seven languages.
Discovering the power of transformative tools
Discovery has many types of end users, from finance professionals and marketing teams to producers and content developers. The fact that Google Workspace has been well-received across the company is a testament to the power of the solution.
Many of our teams have taken advantage of collaborative Gmail accounts and shared drives, providing them with a centralized location to seamlessly communicate and work together on team-focused projects. Our internal communications team is especially happy with the real-time collaborative editing experience within Docs as they work on company-wide emails, announcements, and other projects.
These collaboration tools have allowed us to stay agile amid global lockdowns and will continue to do so as we adapt to a more flexible working environment.
The value of partnership
While we were comfortable with our legacy collaboration suite, one of the biggest benefits of switching to Google Workspace has been Google Cloud’s and SADA’s partnership. They provide us with regular updates on product roadmaps, upcoming features, and more.
This is just the beginning as we plan to grow, deliver new content, and lead the media and entertainment industry with the help of these two great partners and their solutions.

The Nielsen Company is one of the world’s most well-known and respected marketing research firms, with operations in over 100 countries. Its 56,000 employees work to provide insights and data that give customers a better understanding of what people watch, listen to, and buy.
Those insights are essential to companies in a variety of industries, including media and entertainment, consumer products, and retail, that must stay in touch with customers in a fast-changing marketplace.
In order to help customers get the information they need to increase ad sales and boost market share, Nielsen must empower its employees to collaborate across markets and global offices.
But Nielsen’s employees were working out of individual e-mail inboxes that delayed decision-making and made it difficult for the company to take immediate action on time-sensitive information.
The company saw an opportunity to improve collaboration by moving productivity apps to the cloud—Google Cloud’s G Suite—allowing employees to work anytime, anywhere, and on any device and collaborating in real-time.
“In keeping with our cloud-first strategy and digital transformation, we wanted to give our employees state-of-the-art collaboration tools,” says Kimberly Anstett, CIO at Nielsen. “We knew that a global, cloud-based toolset would help change the way everyone in the company works and maximize the value we deliver to our customers.”
