From bit to qubits and hardware to software, changing the narrative on quantum computing
Challenge
Strategy
During the early stages of the relationship, Bospar sharpened its internal agency subject-matter expertise on Classiq and its sophisticated technology through research and frequent client meetings. We determined that a funding announcement, perfectly executed, would produce the momentum and visibility needed to achieve an enduring level of engagement and success. To bolster our chances of success, we determined it was critical to engage directly with Classiq’s investors.
Campaign Results
Nasdaq Tower and Embargoed Pitching Balancing Act: Pitched under embargo to both top-tier and vertical industry publications, while ensuring that the Times Square funding display on the Nasdaq Tower was coordinated seamlessly with the embargo.
Results
The funding announcement drove momentum via exposure in top-tier publications, such as Reuters (Jane Lanhee Lee), Axios (Dan Primack), Fortune (Jessica Matthews), TechCrunch (Frederic Lardonois) and VentureBeat (Chris Preimesberger), and shed light on the broader topic of quantum computing. Industry publications, such as Quantum Insider (Matt Swayne), spotlighted important aspects of the software and furthered industry credibility. We generated 198 total media placements, with 60% coming from tier-one media coverage and 40% from leading industry outlets.
Beyond coverage and recognition, the announcement awakened interest from large enterprises and organizations, driving demand from highly targeted buyers.
“We tasked Bospar with not just understanding quantum computing, but also building a strong foundation with media as if they were the spokespeople for Classiq. Our decision to announce the news of our Series B funding round was another opportunity for Bospar to secure the type of coverage that helps emphasize our industry leadership. We are very pleased with the transparency, communication and coverage that has had a major impact on our industry-wide visibility.”
