CLIENT SPOTLIGHT

Transforming an active, under-managed site
into a world-class editorial property

CHALLENGE

As a leader in enterprise cyber security, we saw a clear need for an online blog platform where anyone in the industry could efficiently learn from technology providers and industry thought leaders, all in pursuit of a shared goal: helping to keep businesses safe from threats every day. The idea was fairly straightforward. The challenges were all going to be in execution.

PLAYBOOK

Transformed Symantec’s blog property, https://www.symantec.com/blogs, into an industry-leading destination for cyber security news, current threat intelligence, best practices, opinion, and analysis: 

New editorial
strategy

Used professional journalists to up-level ideas and writing, while working with internal teams to develop more engaging, reliable, and relevant content.

More efficient
implementation

Reduced categories to enable better engagement, monitoring, and analytics; implemented a reliable publishing schedule to give readers predictability and to better assess engagement.

Ongoing
management

Created a editorial review board that scopes content and ensures quality and credibility on an ongoing basis
