Dell Technologies, VMware and Intel needed a robust activation program to help their partners, customers and prospects understand how the latest VxRail can help them optimize operations while embracing new opportunities, such as Artificial Intelligence and edge computing. To help them do this, we developed a suite of content assets and touchpoints, including an eBook, sales presentation decks, an eNurture program, and social ads, all designed to increase awareness and influence across their range of target audiences.

The Future of Work ROCKS
ePlus & Cisco
This award winning, multi-year, B2B partner marketing program was developed and implemented on behalf of Cisco and ePlus, a billion dollar global reseller of Cisco and other solutions. The purpose of the program was to increase awareness in the market; educate and engage potential customers about the partnership’s capabilities; generate leads and move them through their buyers’ journeys from awareness to consideration; and improve internal alignment both inter-organizationally (marketing + sales) and intra-organizationally (ePlus + Cisco) around shared go-to-market efforts.
To deliver on these goals we created a strategic, creatively-themed experience centered around a musical metaphor. Just like how making great music requires the right people, instruments, and expertise, so does designing and deploying those powerful, seamless technology solutions that improve the ways organizations operate. To bring this to life, we created a magical conductor to represent the partnership’s many capabilities, and feature it across our microsite experience, content assets, campaigns, sales enablement and field marketing tactics.
CEO Keynote
Anaplan
Anaplan CEO Frank Calderoni needed a futuristic, multimedia keynote presentation to deliver at their main customer event, Connected Planning Experience (CPX). We developed a smart, compelling narrative around three fictitious companies in the near-term future, each using Anaplan to make better, faster decisions. The story was revealed through an on-stage dialog between the Anaplan platform and Frank, and was supported visually by dynamic multimedia that played out across three widescreens, spanning more than 180 feet. Our approach enabled us to demonstrate within a narrative context many of the platform’s key functions and features available today as well as those coming in the future.
Transformation Island
VMware by Broadcom & Presidio
Previously known as “It’s a Big Cloud Out There”
Developed a multi-year, B2B partner marketing program on behalf of VMware and Presidio, a multi-billion dollar global reseller of VMware and other solutions. The purpose of the program is to increase awareness in the market; educate and engage existing customers and potential prospects about the partnership’s capabilities; and close the gaps internally between the various constituencies to generate and maintain momentum for their sales and marketing efforts.
To deliver on these goals we created a highly strategic, creatively-themed, program that employs a microsite, curated content, digital marketing campaigns, and various sales enablement and field marketing tactics to:
• Promote the shared value proposition
• Improve alignment across partner marketing and sales teams
• Drive consumption of partnership solutions and meet pipeline and revenue goals
Client reported results (as of Q3 2021):
• 60,000+ unique visitors
• 12-million impressions
• 4,500+ engaged accounts with 1,000+ employees
• $18-million in pipeline generated
• $4.5-million in closed sales
IAM Protected
ForgeRock & Google Cloud
ForgeRock®, a global leader in digital identity, delivers modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions for consumers, employees and things to simply and safely access the connected world. As Google Cloud’s Only Premier Partner for IAM Security Protection, ForgeRock IAM for Hybrid IT on Google Cloud enables large enterprises to accelerate IAM modernization at scale for any use case.
Upon creating a strategic co-sales partnership, Forgerock and Google Cloud needed a concerted, co-branded, B2B partner marketing program focused on this joint solution. The program was designed to project their shared value proposition into the marketplace; educate, activate and reinforce Google Cloud sellers about ForgeRock solutions, products, services and customer success stories; unify ForgeRock’s solution positioning with Google Cloud priority marketing and sales enablement themes; and create better alignment both inter-organizationally and intra-organizationally around their shared go-to-market efforts.
To achieve these goals, we developed a creative construct based on the IAM acronym, widely understood among target audiences, and associated it directly with the ForgeRock and Google Cloud brands. By doing so, we were able to help them take ownership of the category in the minds of their target audiences, while building a flexible messaging platform enabling them to speak to many different benefits, solutions and audiences. Based on this construct, we developed a robust partner marketing program, which included a partner microsite, content assets, digital campaign, and sales enablement assets.
Love Your Food
Town of Mamaroneck, NY
A tri-municipal community in Westchester County, New York received a three-year grant from the State of NY to educate community members about the importance of reducing food waste. Similar to creating a brand presence for a start-up company, this public-facing initiative needed a clear marketing and communications strategy along with suite of materials designed to engage, educate and motivate local community members to take action.
Working directly with key stakeholders, we developed a clear brand strategy, complete with logo, tagline, and messaging, to clearly define the initiative. The brand was designed to take an accessible, innovative and upbeat approach to a serious topic. Tactically, we designed and launched a suite of marketing and communications tools, including a print mailer, a fun and fresh website, community outreach and other related materials, to empower our stakeholders to engage with their constituents across a number of channels. With the completion of the grant period, the Love Your Food is no longer a functional website. To see what it looked like, view the prototype or the eBook by clicking the link to the right.
Program Launch Campaign
Marin Catholic
Marin Catholic preparatory school needed help launching a new applied learning program called the Principled Entrepreneurial Institute. To assist, we developed the launch strategy, program name and tagline, and a multi-channel campaign designed to educate students and key stakeholders about a different approach to life and business that increases fulfillment and has a positive impact on the world. Final deliverables included a teaser video, series of social posts, web and email banners, launch email copy, student assembly talking points and parent- and student-facing PPT.
