Venafi – EMEA Demand Generation

Venafi is a market-leading cybersecurity company that has been working with Operatix for more than 2 years to develop its presence in Europe.

The Challenge

The client needed a flexible partner to be able to swap/add regions on demand.
The client had a complex message with specific use cases, based on G5000 companies industries and personas targeted.
A requirement to work across a complex territory (Europe) and different languages.
