Bringing Back a 20-Year-Old Brand: nCipher

Act One: Everything Old Is New Again

Bospar worked with nCipher’s leadership team to position the company as the most cutting-edge disruptor in security, leading with messaging designed to resonate with key decision-makers.

Bospar created a research project in advance of RSA that focused on data protection and trust. PR surveyed both the general population and security practitioners to provide a comparison of the key concerns between each audience.

Bospar secured placements not just in critical technology outlets but was also the only PR agency to secure local broadcast placements for nCipher right before RSA, ensuring that nCipher would have all the media assets needed to make the case that their resurrection was major news.

But that was just act one.

Act Two: Getting Into the Groove

Bospar generated an ongoing and steady stream of media coverage in security, business and tech media. In addition, Bospar’s Content Team provided ongoing support, creating content for nCipher’s CTO for the Forbes Technology Council and blogs for multiple nCipher leaders.

Bospar worked across functions to execute the PR efforts, which were focused on third-party research, newsjacking, key industry events, contributed content, customer relations, and ongoing product news.

Bospar leveraged the following executives for interviews with key media outlets:

• Cindy Provin, SVP of Entrust Datacard and General Manager, nCipher Security
• Peter Galvin, VP, Strategy and Marketing
• John Grimm, Senior Director of Strategy and Business Development
• Peter Carlise, VP of Global Sales and Service

During the following RSA, Bospar successfully employed data and trends from the Global Encryption Trends Study from the Ponemon Institute research to secure more meetings and more broadcast coverage, a feat unmatched by any other attending security vendor.
