Virtualisation and cloud infrastructure company VMware wanted to change the perception that it only catered for large companies, and show small and mid-sized enterprises that its offering is both appropriate and affordable.

In order to achieve this, it brought on agency April Six, who put together the testimonial-based ‘People like you’ (PLY) campaign. The campaign was built around the knowledge that people in IT are easily turned off by vendor marketing. 

The key objective of the campaign was to communicate that VMware solutions are used by ‘people like you’ in smaller organisations. The campaign was launched in 2013, and was simplified in 2014 to focus on a complete outbound and inbound lead generation programme. 

The campaign was highly successful: it was over target and three months ahead of deadline. 

 

"The results that April Six delivered were truly astonishing"
