Challenges & Needs

The client was looking for ways to further market their core product offering - a threat hunting software tool - to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), but needed assistance in understanding the complex layers and bureaucracy of the DIB. Additional challenges included the following:

  • No clear Marketing Strategy. The client had no real game plan for developing and pushing out all the necessary marketing materials for their threat hunting tool to the broader DIB.

  • Real Concerns with Return on Investment (ROI): As a small contractor, they had genuine concerns on the true costs they were going to spend on marketing, and how they could ensure a strong return on investment.

  • Met with key stakeholders within various departments for the organization, earning acceptance and support for what was a groundbreaking marketing program for helping promote their product.


Challenges Solved

  • Developed a comprehensive capabilities statement highlighting the features, benefits, and advantages of their threat hunting software solution.
