Palo Alto Networks

Creating partner momentum in a competitive vendor environment

The challenge

Palo Alto Networks were looking to engage their partners in a global, incentive-driven, partner marketing campaign. Their wish list included;

  • Initially target EMEA and then roll out in to the US and APAC regions
  • To be able to track and measure partners throughout the campaign stages
  • To incentivise partners with rewards based on upload of evidence of campaign activity

 

Key features

  • Partner Engagement Focus
  • Interactive education & incentivisation necessity
  • Campaign Launch and on-going communications
  • Scalable globally

Campaign

Sherpa developed a visual identity and incentivisation structure to engage and drive valuable behaviour from Palo Alto’s partner community.

We then created a user-friendly platform that engages partners, distributes material and interacts with the partners through out the education, activation and incentivisation process.


To ensure a smooth launch, Sherpa supported with the communications at each stage of the initiative, as well as the creation of all campaign material and collateral.
