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

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.
