Client: Infrastructure PR | CloudSigma
Campaign: US Launch
Overview
- Enterprise Software PR Campaign
- With a strong European presence, CloudSigma was ready to expand its public cloud offering to the U.S. market through increased awareness and exposure
- CloudSigma needed to be seen as a viable competitor to its big-time competitors such as Amazon and Rackspace, with a superior approach as the only pure-cloud IaaS provider with a flexible and user-centric strategy
Approach
- Pitch select, top-tier targets 1-2 weeks prior to the official launch to drum up interest and secure pre-briefings to maximize coverage on the day of the launch
- Craft a compelling pitch that highlights why CloudSigma is unique in the industry and differs specifically from competitors such as Amazon and Rackspace
- Leverage customers for quotes in the release and third party testimonials for media interviews and analyst briefings
- Use social media channels like Twitter to expand the reach of the announcement
Results
- Secured 11 media interviews and 6 analyst briefings with top tier journalists and analysts from 451 Group, IDG, Nemertes and ZDNet
- Secured 17 pieces of unique coverage in top tier outlets like GigaOM, Computerworld and NetworkWorld
