Splunk was Looking to Launch into a New Category and Make the Biggest Splash Possible
You may know Splunk as Cisco’s largest-ever acquisition. Before that deal closed, Splunk was looking to expand its position from that of a leader in data search, monitoring, and analysis to the world’s first “data-to-everything platform.” Splunk was looking to launch into a new category and make the biggest splash possible.


The Challenge


The Solution
Our global, integrated communications strategy helped establish Splunk as a thought leader on the emergent issue of Dark Data. Then, a launch keynote in which Splunk’s then-CEO Doug Meritt shared the stage with former President Barack Obama helped secure Splunk’s leadership in the space.
We leveraged that new position and our strong relationships with business, broadcast, tech, and local media, as well as with influencers, to raise Splunk’s brand recognition. Our social media creative closed the circle with narrative-focused content pillars that fueled the biggest online engagement in Splunk’s company history.
Each piece of our strategy came together in what Constellation Research called “one of the most sophisticated launches of the decade.”
