SUMMARY

As IBM reached its Centennial, ensuring strong results was essential, so the task for communications was to Turn Mindshare into Market Share. IBMs Smarter Planet Agenda is a true example of a companys strategic direction in perfect alignment with its marketing, and now that agenda needed to become tangible and actionable: we needed to show The Smarter Planet is Now. Presenting this unified vision across every channel and touchpoint, we step-changed perceptions and drove a 37% increase in revenue, with a campaign that paid back media dollars 10x in profit.
