The Code Red IT Security PR Network offers cyber security vendors looking to build a profile in a competitive market place the opportunity to work with security PR specialists globally. Each agency has been hand-picked for its in-depth experience in the IT security market place. The aim is to simplify the task of marketing and corporate communications executives at security vendors in finding and managing specialist agencies to develop and execute multi-country PR campaigns, which can be coordinated either centrally or on a country-by-country basis.
Code Red was founded by UK IT security specialist agency éclat Marketing to fill the gap between large multi-national agency conglomerates and small independent boutique agencies.
Code Red founder Dianne Canham comments: “The security market is currently attracting massive investments on an unprecedented scale and spawning a new wave of innovative start-ups and IPOs. Businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of investing in the appropriate defences against data breaches and malware and are looking for technology to help mitigate the shortage of security skills and tackle new threat vectors posed by mobile devices, the cloud and now the Internet of Things.”
“Currently CMOs at security vendors are forced to choose between global reach and security specialisation in selecting their PR partners. Now there is a viable alternative that allows them to work with a global network of experienced security PR professionals, or – as the profession is so fond of saying – ‘You’re only as strong as the weakest link’.”
