PR, AR and content strategies for next-generation IT
Instigators Wanted
By focusing on agile cloud and open source software and hardware, we have a highly tailored media universe, and we know what they’re looking for. This kind of intimate, firsthand knowledge of the leading voices in your industry means we consistently find the intersection between your ideas and the media’s coverage interests.
Analysts need to first understand how well you can articulate your vision. Next, they need to know how well equipped you are to execute on that vision. Cathey.co helps you tell the best story on both of these dimensions, and we work closely with analysts covering cloud data centers, cloud computing infrastructure, open source software, OpenStack and enterprise transformation through agile development and develops.
Absent from most marketing arguments is one voice: the customer’s. Cathey.co engineers cost-effective and iterative research strategies to discover how your target customers perceive the market space you occupy, what they value, and how they gather information to inform their decisions.
Blog posts and byline articles can effectively articulate your vision, but only if it’s something your community finds valuable. That means it has to be useful, clear, non-promotional and authentic. Each of those four requirements must be present for success, and Cathey.co can help you get there. We plan campaigns, organize ideas, coach budding writers, draft and edit.
Your website must reflect your image and provide the right amount and types of content to make your visitors take the action you’d like. Usually, that means a form fill and lead capture that feeds your lead nurturing program. On the other hand, your social presence must engage a diversity of audiences in conversations intended to form relationships and build brand cred. Cathey.co will design your digital strategy to build awareness, drive clicks, produce form fills and engage in conversations with the right communities.
Choosing the right industry, ecosystem and analyst events can seem like a dice roll. Cathey.co shows clients how to think in terms of engagement level (attend, exhibit, sponsor, speak) and audience profile (buyers, influencers, users, developers, media, analysts, partners) to sift the options and define an events strategy that returns measurable value for the time and resources invested.
