For more than 70 years, Iron Mountain has been trusted by the world’s largest organizations to protect their vital records and information.
Most Commercially Successful Campaign
Iron Mountain is trusted by more than 240,000 customers in 61 countries, including approximately 95% of the Fortune 1000, to help unlock value and intelligence from their assets through services that transcend the physical and digital worlds.
Differentiated customer experiences are crucial to growth in today’s landscape. But it’s difficult to do when information is stuck in disparate systems, legacy applications, and paper-based manual processes.
Iron Mountain’s solution, InSight® Digital Experience Platform (DXP), solves this pain point by leveraging a unified, automated, and secure platform with comprehensive solutions to access, manage, govern, and monetize both physical and digital assets.
The challenge was that most organizations only knew Iron Mountain as a legacy solutions provider, not the strategic digital partner InSight DXP made them.
We needed to make a splash when launching InSight DXP, so we looked to:
- Take a multipronged and multichannel approach to change perceptions, stand out, and engage audiences across industries
- Set ambitious goals for paid media, organic social, and influence on our target account lists
- Continually adapt throughout the campaign to maximize results

INSIGHTS & STRATEGY:
FROM LEGACY PROVIDER TO STRATEGY DIGITAL PARTNER
We leaned on analyst reports on market-share opportunities and challenges from Gartner and Forrester, and held customer surveys and interviews to determine how to position the DXP platform and key messaging.
Iron Mountain’s differentiator was that its solution provided a scalable, low-code, modular platform with physical and digital content management. This laid the foundation for what would become the business’ marketing initiatives:
Highlighting the trust organizations had in Iron Mountain through their legacy solutions, while focusing on their digital experience platform’s distinct benefits.

THE BIG IDEA: IM AI-READY
Our ‘aha’ moment came when exploring campaign messaging. We wanted to showcase Iron Mountain’s main differentiator with a bold statement showing that, with InSight DXP, your organization would be ready for AI and anything else the market throws its way: IM AI-Ready.
We paired these lines with dynamic visuals that strengthened the link to Iron Mountain’s brand identity. One of its key design elements is side-profile images with transparent mountain overlays, and by leaning into its existing brand, we demonstrated that Iron Mountain quite literally has its customers’ backs.

EXECUTION: ALL-ENCOMPASSING ACTIVATION
We activated an aggressive campaign that included earned PR, organic social media, paid media, employee social advocacy, and sales outreach. From press announcements to a website homepage takeover and a launch email to existing clients, prospects, and the wider industry, we ensured we flooded the market with Iron Mountain’s news.
We developed two tracks of messaging: One focused on the technical benefits of the solution (IM AI-ready; IM breaking down silos; IM automating workflows; and IM compliance-ready), and one focused on the value benefits (IM putting my data to work; IM faster than ever; IM more efficient; and IM more confident).
“We’re most proud of how this work brought together various teams across Iron Mountain to launch a new product in record time – it all came together in under six months! We came together to create a dynamic, engaging full-funnel campaign that has far surpassed all our objectives and had a great impact on business and brand growth.”
