Message:
“Together, we are the human network.”
Objectives:
• In Q1, Cisco extends their brand message (the human network) very specifically to
business processes. In the past, their communication lived in a somewhat agnostic
place where business situations and human moments were intertwined. This new
move carves out business more specifically than previous work and includes a POV on
why many networks are not “good enough.”
• In Q2, Cisco extends their brand message (the human network) again, but with a 360
emphasis on security in the cloud. This new move specifically points towards secure
business.
Strategic Approach:
• Maintain the essence of the “human network” but marry it with specific claims like
secure, intelligent, etc. Identify the tie to specific business processes like
collaboration and productivity.
