Khoros customers are leaders and champions of progress in many different industries. Their innovative solutions, dedication to customers, and overall awesomeness make us proud to be their partners. This year, we asked them to tell us their success stories, so that we can celebrate their achievements with the Khoros Kudos Awards. We were amazed at the submissions. From Hikma Pharmaceuticals, who used Khoros Marketing to increase engagement on posts by 73%, to Intuit, who used their community to handle massive spikes in support volume during COVID-19, brands across a variety of industries impressed us with their 2020 stories. We received a total of 92 incredible submissions in 11 categories. This was a tough year in which brands had to think on their feet and continually adapt to moving goal posts. As impressed as we were with all the submissions, and as tough as the competition in each category was, we unfortunately can’t give everyone a Kudos Award. So here are the winners of the 11 categories. To each winner, and of course to each brand that submitted a nomination, congratulations on a great year — and thank you for a great year of partnership. We can’t wait to see what you do in 2021. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All-Ways Connected — Tealium Recognizing a customer who successfully integrated Khoros to strategically align people, processes, and technology to connect with their customers in all ways. To manage company growth, Tealium onboarded Khoros and integrated their community and social media management platforms. Doing so simplified community processes for employees while enhancing communications with their customers. Tealium’s impressive results include a 55% increase in unique community visitors, 40+ badged Tealium product-certified community users, and 250+ product-certified members. Sensational work keeping up with growth while maintaining a human touch, Tealium! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best-in-Class: Care — Midco Recognizing a customer who has been able to utilize the Khoros Care solution most effectively to improve customer satisfaction and manage costs. Midco’s mission is to be the best communications company in the country for their customers, employees, stakeholders, and communities. With Khoros Care, they’re well on their way.

Over the past year, Airbnb has worked with the Khoros team to significantly improve their community experience. The results of their efforts speak for themselves: Airbnb’s community realized 30% year-over-year membership growth and one-third of the community’s lifetime page views occurred in just the past year. Airbnb also reports that hosts who are community members earn 2.5 times more revenue than those who aren’t. Incredible job making your Khoros-powered Community even more engaging, Airbnb! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best-in-Class: Marketing — AAA Recognizing a customer who has been able to utilize the Khoros Marketing solution most effectively to elevate their brand’s customer engagement capabilities and execution. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, AAA had to quickly pivot their carefully-crafted social media calendar and develop content focused on their members’ needs in a rapidly changing environment. Khoros Marketing has helped AAA connect with members in a variety of ways over the past year. AAA even made the Khoros Marketing Contact Center their hub for all publishing and approvals. AAA was truly there for their members on social media during this tough year, as evidenced by their 113% YoY increase in reach, 140% YoY increase in impressions, and 164% YoYincrease in engagement. Extraordinary work using Khoros Marketing to get your message across and put your members first, AAA! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Better Together — TELUS Recognizing a customer who has been able to most effectively showcase success in utilizing at least two out of three solutions — Care, Community, and Marketing — as a synchronized customer engagement platform.

COVID-19 has meant unprecedented challenges for many brands, and especially for the United States Postal Service (USPS). This, combined with a national census in an election year with mixed feelings about vote-by-mail, made for a tough year. USPS relied on Khoros to address these challenges and help them listen to customers and employees to solve issues creatively and successfully. For their efforts, the USPS saw a 150% increase in site traffic, reached 423k users with top organic posts, and ranked #1 in corporate response to the pandemic.

Banner job increasing productivity while maintaining creativity, all with a lean team, BoE! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Accelerator — Danone Recognizing a customer who has best scaled their deployment of a single or multiple Khoros solution.

Awesome job improving the way your stakeholders work, Danone! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Top Line Growth All Star — Anaplan Recognizing a customer who has demonstrated the greatest return-on-investment (ROI) using Khoros solutions to increase revenue.
