CHALLENGE

This Fortune 500 technology company needed to overcome their image as a database company that knew little about human capital management. They wanted to establish themselves as thought leaders in order to gain market share and increase their brand value.

SECRET INGREDIENT

I attended their annual HCM conference to wrap my arms around their brand, their story, and their key differentiators. I crafted a new messaging platform that defined the brand as original, thoughtful, and forward-thinking. To support this new direction, I created a series of marketing materials to take their new, value-centric voice to market.

Human capital management buyers are HR leaders: by definition, they are “people people”. Rather than try to sell them on technology and product features, I upleveled the conversation to focus on people and processes: things this audience values most. In doing so, I captured the hearts and minds of these decision-makers, allowing the brand to engage with them on a new level.

Responsibilities:

Copywriting, messaging, voice and tone definition
