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

It may be 2018, but moving to the cloud can be scary. The lack of visibility can spur anxiety and sap confidence: the perfect conditions for a campaign based on fake public service announcements (PSAs). We knew our audience of cloud-savvy companies would get the joke and applaud the parody.

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

Well, that depends on your partner. Sumo Logic took things to the next level with a Cloud Preparedness Guide, and matching t-shirts and stickers.
