Helsinki, Finland — Flowhaven, the only brand licensing solution built on the world’s #1 CRM platform, Salesforce, is marking three months of accelerated growth with the opening of a new office in Santa Monica, Calif.; appointments to key positions; a new client roster and; an expanded customer support footprint. The new office, located in the U.S. entertainment capital, includes the new US Director of Sales and marketing, customer success, and operational staff.
