The Challenge

Convince cloud-based organizations to use Sumo Logic for machine data analysis.

The Creative

It was 2018, but the move to the cloud was scary. The lack of visibility can spurred anxiety and sapped 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.

The Results

“Those are f**king funny...”
– An IT Guy

“There’s certainly nobody in the industry doing stuff like this!... I can’t thank you guys enough for the quick turnaround on this. AND everyone LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the humor...”
– Director, Demand Gen.

“[This is] fresh, different, a new perspective”
