Problem

Blackberry engaged TEAM LEWIS to increase its awareness around its corporate refocus: a move away from hardware and into cybersecurity. These campaigns were an opportunity to build a new B2B narrative for a well-known consumer brand. They also allowed TEAM LEWIS to take on some of the most well-known brands in the software industry. The campaign grew from just a brand repositioning exercise to establish BlackBerry as a broader cyber and tech leader.

Execution

The primary goal of the strategy was to overcome a legacy perception as a consumer device manufacturer and securing a high volume of on-message coverage.

We supported hundreds of pieces of coverage each quarter over four years consistently. We executed multiple quick-turn surveys and saw both the quality of coverage and the range of associated topics increase.
