By aligning the company’s voice with these issues, Babel was able to show the applicability of Ciena’s technology and highlight the challenges it solves.
THE OUTCOME
In the space of just a few months, Babel secured coverage in Reuters, New York Times, IBTimes, Daily Mail, following a well-timed issues jumps. This coverage was syndicated resulting in over 100 pieces of media coverage, quickly putting Ciena in front of its target audience. Through aligning Ciena’s brand with cloud gaming, Babel was also able to secure podcast with Bloomberg; a first for the company.
