Skyword, Racepoint Global, and IBM Security Honored In Ad Age 2016 BtoB Best Awards
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 26, 2016 -- Skyword, the leading content marketing technology and services company, Racepoint Global, integrated marketing communications agency, and IBM Security won the Best Online Campaign for SecurityIntelligence.com in the 2016 BtoB Best Awards, Ad Age announced today.
Presented by Ad Age, the leading global source of news and intelligence for the marketing and media community, the BtoB Best Awards celebrate the most innovative and creative work produced by b-to-b marketers and their agencies across the full spectrum of media, from print and online to outdoor and experiential. Campaigns were judged by Ad Age editors on their creative merits. For the full list of winners, visit adage.com/btobbest2016.
With the declining effectiveness of traditional, interruptive forms of advertising, IBM Security countered with an innovative and authentic content marketing strategy to build trust and affinity among an audience of enterprise IT professionals and executives. IBM Security partnered with Skyword and Racepoint Global to create SecurityIntelligence.com, now a leading industry resource.
The stories on SecurityIntelligence.com speak to the challenges of enterprise risk and security IT professionals. The Web destination serves as a bridge to the brand's overarching site by bringing in a wider audience through search and social media. In order to maintain an objective perspective on the audience's main challenges, the site does not include product-focused messaging.
"What we're seeing more and more is advertising that not only stands out as great b-to-b work, but as great work plain and simple," said Ad Age Editor Ken Wheaton. "The successful advertisers in the space know that behind the second b in b-to-b, there is still a person making decisions and they have to connect with that person in order to close the deal — whether it's via print, video, digital, or even non-traditional activations."
The content published on SecurityIntelligence.com is supported by Skyword's enterprise-class content marketing platform, network of freelance writers, and in-house editorial and strategy teams. The website's look, feel, and amplification strategy is driven by Racepoint Global.
"The goal of Security Intelligence is to boil down the news, trends, and developments that matter, and give security and IT decision makers the information that they need to make strategic decisions," said Pamela Jones, WW Digital Marketing Strategist for IBM Security. "In order to make a mark, b-to-b brands need to do more than promote themselves, and instead create a content strategy that brings the most important industry voices to the table and provides an experience that will help customers thrive."
