EXPERIENCE

TECHNOLOGY HEALTHCARE

TECHNOLOGY SECTOR KAIZO: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

We are totally at home in the ‘weeds’ of tech – from in the inner working of the latest SaaS and cloud strategies to AI/ML and data analytics. This deep tech expertise, combined with our capability to identify trends and issues, means we deliver campaigns that take brands on a journey - from the ones and zeroes of deep tech to the broader economic and societal impact it delivers.

We have worked with many technology companies across a wide range of sectors - from security brands such as Avast, Symantec, RSA, and McAfee, to broader brands on global campaigns, such as Cisco, CA, Brocade, NetSuite, Cloud Expo, BlackLine, SnapLogic, Pure Storage, Sharp, and Symphony. As such we are adept at translating technology on a daily basis with a heavy emphasis on what this means for business and society. We also work, and have worked, with a range of innovative consumer technology brands from launching Fitbit into the UK market, to our current support for sustainable audio brand Marley, Express VPN, Tile and Life 360.

BLACKLINE BlackLine’s mission is to modernise the way accounting and finance work through technology. Since its launch we’ve worked closely with BlackLine through UK market growth, expansion across Europe and a successful IPO. We develop award-winning, global PR and marketing campaigns, designed to position BlackLine as a thought leader on issues that significantly impact stakeholders in the audit and accounting sectors, as well as the wider business community.

Our latest campaign, ‘Eye of the Storm’, examined organisational resiliency in the face of ongoing market instability and volatility, which has generated more than 70 pieces of international coverage in outlets such as Fortune and Bloomberg. Additionally, with a dedicated landing page and a range of marketing materials, the campaign created multiple opportunities for the BlackLine sales team to engage with both existing and potential customers.

Freshworks makes software that helps businesses of all sizes create a better customer and employee experience. Our programme of media outreach helps to drive awareness of Freshworks’ journey from Indian start up to global leader in building and delivering modern software-as-a-service.

Our most recent campaign ‘Digital contagion, trust and social influence: The technological and cultural impact of a new generation’ identified trends amongst Generations Y and Z, looking at the impact of digitalisation in both a work and non-work setting. The joint campaign secured over 20 pieces of coverage in Europe, including an exclusive in The Times. More recently, we secured an opportunity for a senior spokesperson to feature on ITV Tonight’s programme ‘Customers: Are We Being Served?’ on ITV1, where he discussed whether the rise in Artificial Intelligence can be used to help speed up resolutions to our complaints.

SHARP EUROPE Sharp Europe enables small to large businesses and organisations across Europe to enhance performance and adapt for their workplaces of the future through a range of business technology products and services. We support the business across five markets in Europe, through one central contract working with trusted local agency partners, developing messages and campaigns coordinating product news, and managing five agencies across the region.

An example thought leadership campaign is one we developed around the future of work designed to support the business’ repositioning with customers, partners, and potential employees. We developed multiple storylines and insights to generate commentary in the national press as well as in influential media across Europe, with over 200 pieces of coverage including 25 nationals.
