OUR Strategy

We developed a comprehensive strategy that included:

  • MEDIA POSITIONING

    • Expanded the client’s professional profile beyond his core role as a Senior Systems Administrator by highlighting his expertise in cybersecurity — a highly relevant and in-demand field where he has strong practical experience.

    • Chose a more relevant media angle: focusing on cybersecurity allowed us to place the client’s expertise within the current media landscape and make it accessible to a broader audience.

    • We aligned the outreach with a spike in media attention around cybersecurity, fueled by data breaches and cyberattacks. This helped position the client within the ongoing conversation and drive strong media coverage.

    MEDIA POSITIONING

  • BUILDING PROFESSIONAL CREDIBILITY

    • Developed a clear international positioning, presenting the client as a specialist working at the intersection of systems administration and cybersecurity.

    • Strengthened his professional profile by identifying additional opportunities for recognition, including professional associations and credentials, making his profile more credible and compelling for an international audience.
