Case study challenge - Strategy by Mortar Creative Advertising San Francisco

The Challenge

Convince cloud-based organizations to use Sumo Logic for machine data analysis.

Strategic Decision

Aim at the cloud-first: those who believe the future of computing is cloud, but are probably surrounded by haters.

The A-Ha Moment

Hallelujah! I'm not alone in this. Damn! I need help.

The Creative

Is it ok to go all the way after just a few posters?
