The Next Generation of Salesforce Ben

By Lauren Westwood

Exciting news here at Salesforce Ben… we’ve had a glow up! But it’s not just been about swapping blue for purple (although we do love the purple!); it’s also been about reevaluating our place and purpose in the Salesforce ecosystem. We’ve taken stock of what’s important to us and found what we feel is the best way to connect with our community. 

As we’ve moved through the stages of brainstorming, planning, building, and testing, the R-word (rebrand!) has become a serious contender for ‘most-used word of 2023’. And now we can finally show you what we’ve been up to…

Reflect and Connect 

With reflection comes an inevitable trip down memory lane – all the way back to 2014 when our very own Ben McCarthy had a dream about starting a little blog about an ‘up-and-coming’ platform called Salesforce. 

Then the little blog got big

Almost a decade later, Ben and the team are busy publishing certification guides, hosting live events, and releasing interactive courses to help empower and inspire Trailblazers from all over the world.

I’m absolutely thrilled to announce our rebrand, which marks a major milestone in the evolution of the Salesforce Ben brand. I would like to give a massive shout out to our team at SFB who have worked so hard over the past year, as well as the Salesforce community, who constantly motivate us to do more for the ecosystem. Ben McCarthy, Founder of Salesforce Ben
