# Year in Review - 2022 *Published:* 2023-01-06 *Author:* Rahul Bansal > A retrospect of 2022 with our success stories, contributions and advocacy of open-source for enterprise. ![Year-In-Review-2022](https://rtcamp.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/Year-In-Review-2022.png?w=720&resize=720%2C377&quality=100&strip=all)And just like that, it’s 2023! Over the coming weeks, we’re building toward our annual retreat. While that has us plenty excited to jump into 2023, we also wish to celebrate the Good Work of the past year. So, here’s a brief reflection on our 2022. ## Client Projects Every client project matters to us. It enables us to contribute to open-source and invest in education and employee welfare. Below are some notable ones. Together with Google, we made the snackable [Web Stories format even easier to consume with flexible WordPress blocks](https://rtcamp.com/case-studies/building-embedded-web-stories-for-wordpress/). Further, with Gutenberg, we provided an efficient, reusable structure to [SummerWorks](https://rtcamp.com/case-studies/summer-works-custom-patterns-blocks-performant-website/) for creating new landing pages, ensuring consistency. From time to time, we get opportunities to move the web presence of well-established businesses from different proprietary systems to WordPress. Last year too, we celebrated some wins for open-source. We [migrated Vinsolutions.com from Kentico to a WordPress](https://rtcamp.com/case-studies/migrating-vinsolutions-kentico-cms-to-wordpress-vip/) VIP multisite environment. It improved their Core Web Vitals and overall GTMetrix performance by 48%. We also [migrated Dealertrack USA from Adobe Experience Manager to WordPress](https://rtcamp.com/case-studies/dealertrack-aem-wordpress-migration/). By migrating to WordPress, Dealertrack could move the content pipeline entirely into the marketing team’s hands and reduce go-live timeframes by over 50%. ## WordPress VIP for Salesforce Many of our enterprise clients use Salesforce for their marketing. But at the same time, they enjoy content creation using WordPress, specifically Gutenberg. We worked with WordPress VIP to build the [Salesforce integration that makes using content from WordPress within Salesforce easy](https://wpvip.com/wordpress-vip-for-salesforce/). This integration [earned us the first-ever WordPress VIP Top Partner Innovator award](https://rtcamp.com/blog/wordpress-vip-top-partner-innovator-salesforce-integration/). ## Personalization We put considerable effort into researching personalization with WordPress last year. We took this knowledge back into WordPress VIP for Salesforce to bring some advanced personalization capabilities to WordPress, powered by Salesforce Marketing Personalization (formerly Interaction Studio). ## Contributing Back rtCampers contributed to every major WordPress release last year ([5.9](https://rtcamp.com/blog/wordpress-5-9/), [6.0](https://rtcamp.com/blog/wordpress-6-0/), [6.1](https://rtcamp.com/blog/wordpress-6-1/)). Our team has launched [WordPress Plugin Compare](https://rtcamp.com/blog/tag/wppc/) ([WPPC](https://wpplugincompare.com/)) to help WordPress users find the right plugin for their needs. This was also the first public display of our capabilities in building SaaS projects. We also released [Elementary](https://rtcamp.com/blog/introducing-elementary-a-block-based-starter-theme/), a block-based starter theme to do more with Gutenberg. We formally added a [CC0 license to our publicly available WordPress training course](https://learn.rtcamp.com/courses/). We have worked on a video version of the entire WordPress course as well, which we hope to make public this year. ## Hiring More Good People Through our [campus hiring program](https://rtcamp.com/blog/our-biggest-campus-hiring-drive-2022/), 24 rtCampers are set to join us in a little more than a week. That’s rtCamp growing by a fifth right there! Coupled with hires in other departments, we’re pushing on the 130 mark. Fortunately, rtCamp has not felt a significant impact of the recession. There were no layoffs except for one-off individuals separating. In fact, [we are still hiring for a dozen positions across engineering, management, HR, and sales](https://careers.rtcamp.com/). We also have the [”craft your job” profile open](https://careers.rtcamp.com/job/diy-job/). This is for folks who would like to join our team, but don’t find the existing roles suitable for their skills and interests. ## Attending In-person Events Our team enjoyed attending in-person events across the globe after a gap of almost two years. Most notably, we participated in [WCEU](https://twitter.com/rtCamp/status/1532391936623284224?s=20&t=I6ex6pRlkaMigSd3ezbRLQ), [WCUS](https://twitter.com/rtCamp/status/1568212390642339845?s=20&t=I6ex6pRlkaMigSd3ezbRLQ), and [Dreamforce](https://twitter.com/rahul286/status/1572291578294833152?s=20&t=I6ex6pRlkaMigSd3ezbRLQ). We’re looking forward to WordCamp Asia 2023, where a bunch of rtCampers will be attending, volunteering, speaking at, and contributing through the organizing team. As 2022 flew by, we are thankful for all the [Good Work](https://rtcamp.com/case-studies/) we’ve been able to do with our clients, partners, and within other communities, we’re lucky to be a part of. This year, we look to build upon the foundations that we’ve laid. Watch this space! Throughout 2022, we released [regular monthly roundups](https://rtcamp.com/blog/tag/rtcamp-newsletter/) that we enjoyed putting together, covering WordPress, the Web, and other adjacent topics. We hope to continue doing monthly round-ups this year as well. So do [subscribe to our newsletter](https://rtcamp.com/subscribe/) to get monthly updates. **Links:** [We are hiring!](https://careers.rtcamp.com/) | [Our Client Work](https://rtcamp.com/case-studies/) ### Categories and Taxonomies #### Categories [News](https://rtcamp.com/blog/category/news.md) #### Tags [Year in Review](https://rtcamp.com/blog/tag/year-in-review.md), [News & Events](https://rtcamp.com/blog/tag/news-events.md) ### Related Posts - [What's coming in WordPress 7.2](https://rtcamp.com/blog/whats-coming-in-wordpress-7-2.md) - [When you're the only one who understands WordPress: Take from WordCamp US 2026](https://rtcamp.com/blog/only-one-who-understands-wordpress-wcus-2026.md) - [Agents need good tools too: Insights from WordCamp US 2026](https://rtcamp.com/blog/editorial-experience-for-humans-ai-wcus-2026.md) - [Why the WordPress agency is becoming invisible | Perspective from WCUS 2026](https://rtcamp.com/blog/wordpress-agency-becoming-invisible-wcus-2026.md) - [Behind the table Takeaways from WordCamp’s “Core AI Prompt Bar” with David Levine](https://rtcamp.com/blog/wcus-2026-core-ai-prompt-bar-takeaways.md) ### Navigation - Previous Post: [Restructuring our campus recruitment program](https://rtcamp.com/blog/restructuring-our-campus-hiring.md) - Next Post: [Easily preview WordPress post/page revisions before restoring](https://rtcamp.com/blog/easily-preview-wordpress-post-page-revisions-before-restoring.md)
