Optimizing news trends propelled Checkpoint to a top-tier media spokesperson
Learn how Checkpoint harnessed the power of data and quickly seizing trending, international events with its public relations strategy to solidify its position as a cybersecurity leader.
The Brief
Checkpoint, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, sought to enhance its industry reputation by leveraging its extensive data and insights into cyber threats. The objective was to create a data-driven public relations campaign that would highlight Checkpoint’s expertise and leadership in the cybersecurity space, securing media coverage across top industry publications and increasing engagement with its target audience. As a relatively unknown brand, but with strong leadership and quick insights, we continuously used both international and national trends in cyber threats and data security to catch the eyes of premier broadcast and print news outlets.
The Execution
Our approach focused on integrating Checkpoint’s data program with a strategic public relations campaign to amplify the company’s thought leadership. We began by identifying key cybersecurity trends and threats from Checkpoint’s data repository, which included insights from their threat intelligence platforms and research teams. These data points were crafted into compelling narratives and thought leadership pieces that resonated with both industry insiders and the broader public.
The campaign included a series of press releases, whitepapers, and reports that were disseminated to key media outlets, highlighting the latest cybersecurity threats and Checkpoint’s role in mitigating them. We also arranged media interviews and op-eds featuring Checkpoint’s top executives, positioning them as experts on emerging cybersecurity challenges. In addition, we organized webinars and virtual events where Checkpoint’s data insights were shared with a wider audience, further establishing the brand’s authority in the industry.
Social media played a crucial role in amplifying the campaign, with targeted posts and infographics that presented Checkpoint’s data in an accessible and engaging format. We used hashtags relevant to cybersecurity and tech industry discussions to increase the reach and visibility of Checkpoint’s content.
The Result
The data program and public relations campaign were highly successful in elevating Checkpoint’s profile within the cybersecurity industry. The campaign generated significant media coverage, with Checkpoint being featured in top-tier tech and security publications, as well as mainstream news outlets. The brand’s thought leadership was solidified through a series of high-impact articles, interviews, and reports that highlighted Checkpoint’s insights and solutions.
Most notably, in response to a global cyber attack, Checkpoint was able to quickly leverage its knowledge on the status and future of government cyber safety; earning them premier coverage on NPR’s morning show.
Engagement across social media platforms saw a substantial increase, with cybersecurity professionals and organizations sharing and discussing Checkpoint’s data-driven content. The campaign not only enhanced Checkpoint’s brand visibility but also reinforced its position as a trusted leader in cybersecurity, leading to increased interest in its products and solutions.
