Challenge
To position BT as the Managed Security Services Partner of choice, JPC designed a fully integrated, blended campaign. Harnessing both a broader awareness and thought leadership-led content syndication programme, underpinned by an always-on demand generation ABM engine, the focus was on nurturing leads, and targeting and converting decision makers in BT’s key accounts to drive maximum ROI. Using tailored tactics to engage IT security buyers and committees with precision, the campaign was based on the security megatrends affecting their businesses today, with the aim of demonstrating exactly how BT’s Managed Security Services could set them free to innovate and grow.

Whitepaper
JPC developed the GTM proposition strategy and in collaboration with BT developed the hot topics and mega-trends that would underpin the content syndication and support each touchpoint of the campaign journey. We also closed the loop with sales enablement materials/tools designed to drive a more strategic customer conversation, enabling sales people to penetrate accounts at different levels, beyond the core IT decision maker. With relatable content and consistent messaging aligned to key customer drivers, the campaign was underpinned by a standout creative suite of activation activities – through the line – to give BT initial market ‘splash’. Fronted by BT’s hero asset, a whitepaper on ‘Embedding a cyber conscious culture’, the campaign was underpinned by a bespoke Marketo landing page hosting the whitepaper, a supporting infographic guide, an interactive diagnostic tool (to help users map and prioritise their security journey) and a webinar exploring the key pillar of Zero Trust. It also included a suite of digital assets and a vision video, and email nurture tracks were developed to support prospect nurture and generate highly qualified leads for sales.

Outcomes
Bringing together innovation, technology and BT’s own advisory capabilities, our integrated awareness and ABM campaign generated 100% of target leads for BT. Successful response was well ahead of schedule and BT achieved 4.5x the industry average click-through rate on digital display ads, and almost 400 leads were generated via content syndication alone, over a six week period.
Phase 2 of the campaign is currently in planning, and we’re well-placed to leverage insights from targeted campaign activity and personalised customer conversations to refine the next phase, supporting BT’s ambition to become the industry voice and UK leader in Managed Security Services.
