Branding Magic: How Wiz Defied the Gravity of Industry Norms with Creativity
About
While Cybersecurity is an industry where branding often follows predictable patterns, Wiz set out to challenge the status quo. Instead of relying on traditional, fear-driven and tech-savvy narratives, we embraced a bold and innovative approach: crafting a brand identity rooted in optimism, creativity, and magic.
Through real-world examples, this talk will take you on a journey behind the scenes of how we reimagined the way a brand can engage with its audience, making even the most complex and technical concepts approachable, relatable, and inspiring. We’ll share how this fresh perspective helped us stand out in a competitive market, win trust, and build meaningful connections with customers and stakeholders alike.
Whether you’re a marketer, entrepreneur, or simply passionate about storytelling, join Roy to explore how breaking the rules with creativity can transform not just your brand, but how people perceive your entire industry.
