Seiso

Seiso

Reach A State of InfoSec Zen

True peace of mind comes from information  secured by a real business partner with personalized consulting and solutions.

This allows your business to thrive.

With Seiso, you’ll find confidence in secure business.

CHALLENGE

Ever struggle with the constant fear of having your or your company’s data compromised? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an organization that reduced some of those “freak out moments?”

There is. And it’s called Seiso. But no one knew that before last year.

Approach

For Seiso, a Pittsburgh start-up that needed to highlight its unique impact on business and IT leaders, we went beyond branding.

We got these information security professionals comfortable talking about what they do and why they do it. An established digital presence with social media and email campaigns, a white paper written by the founders, greater participation in industry events and speaking engagements… you name it.

Results

Now, Pittsburgh knows Seiso. We successfully positioned the brand as the less stressful, more personalized approach to information security. And now? 

Seiso – pronounced “/SĒ SŌ/” is a Japanese term originating from the 5S methodology that enforces clean workspaces, safety, structure, and the ability to easily spot when something is out of place.

But the influence from Japanese culture goes even further back. Centuries, in fact.

Seiso’s approach can be seen in the way of the Samurai. The Samurai are often thought of as the world’s oldest, most dynamic warriors.

But they were so much more. Artists, poets, guides, counselors, philosophers, protectors – and only when all those tactics failed – warriors.

Seiso takes the same approach to business. We take on every role to prevent conflict or issue. We use each and every one of our skills to build and protect our clients’ businesses.

This tried and tested approach to business is more relevant than ever as we help you navigate the ever-changing world of information security systems by changing the way you envision and approach your business processes.

And we communicate easy-to-understand solutions that help you rest easy knowing we are on watch with a centuries – tested approach to tomorrow’s challenges.

Koppers Sustainability

KOPPERS

Sustainability Initiative

Koppers is a leading provider of wood- and carbon-based technologies, products, chemicals and services that strengthen our global infrastructure.

CHALLENGE

People. Planet. Performance. These aren’t just another slew of corporate principles. They are the core values of Koppers new Sustainability Plan, and they needed to be introduced to Koppers employees in an easily-digestible and highly-memorable format.

SOLUTION

What did we do? An explainer video with stereotypical buzzwords and “commitments? Nah. Instead, we took this project to another level — literally.

We created a vintage video game. 

Our character, the Koppers K, is the protagonist. He strategically hops, skips and jumps to level-up his Sustainability “game,” while unveiling the key components of Koppers Sustainability Plan with a distinct look, feel and aesthetic for each value.

 
RESULTS

Talk about leveling up… The video aired at an all-employee meeting where Koppers team members from around the globe watched the Koppers K come to life — making way for the launch of an entire Sustainability brand.

Greater Pittsbugrh Arts Council – Restart the Arts

Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council

Restart the Arts

The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council (GPAC) is the region’s primary arts service organization. It provides financial, professional and political support to artists and nonprofit organizations in 10 counties within Western Pennsylvania.

CHALLENGE

Intermission is over. The curtain has been lifted. After a two-year pause from laughter, drama, and inspiration, GPAC was ready to welcome patrons back to its venues. It was time for the resurgence of the Pittsburgh arts scene.

APPROACH

The Restart the Arts campaign was an 8-week public service initiative with 19 event activations; 22 artist performances, including on-air with Pittsburgh Today Live; collaboration with influencers Keep Pittsburgh Dope and Toddling Traveller; sponsorships by UPMC, Highmark and Giant Eagle GetGo; a traveling “Artsmobile” bringing performing artists all over the city; and a mix of PR, social and digital media, traditional advertising, digital, and radio/streaming.

RESULTS

One truck breakdown (no, really) and 358,304,894 (ok, we’re exaggerating, a little) ice cream cones later, we successfully helped GPAC Restart the Arts with our guerrilla-style, experiential marketing approach and robust events calendar:

  • 12 media placements with more than 10 million impressions
  • 400%+ increase in website traffic — we even temporarily crashed the site
  • Artsmobile event coverage from five social media influencers in Pittsburgh
