Driving 89 Event Registrations For A Cybersecurity Company
We created a digital marketing strategy that was keyed in on driving event registrations and increased brand awareness.
The client was getting lost in the clutter of other cybersecurity companies and was looking for the creation of a detailed marketing strategy and subsequent B2B cybersecurity marketing campaigns. They had been searching for a digital marketing agency to execute their social media marketing campaigns over the course of several months.
They were looking for an experienced cybersecurity marketing firm to provide recommendations to drive brand awareness, affinity, and purchase intent. Their main goals were lead generation to add to their inbound marketing efforts. We did this by promoting their product/service offering by focusing on key tenets such as: risk management, data security, data protection, and cyber threats.

Some words from the client ...
Llama Lead Gen has played a crucial part in building Versive's digital marketing footprint over the course of several months that I've had the pleasure to work with them. LLG worked with us to build out a full marketing strategy and game plan for the types of platforms we should run on, appropriate budget, target audience, and even taught our team about different advertising and digital media metrics to watch out for. They also worked to craft our messaging, worked alongside our designer to generate our creatives, A/B tested, and set up our conversion tracking.
They are great at communication and highly skilled at what they do. Throughout our time working together, I felt at ease that LLG was in the driver's seat, walking us through every step of the way, and keeping us updated on ways to improve. I would highly recommend working with Llama Lead Gen to scale your team and company's digital marketing!
