1. “Get Some Sunshine”
LANDesk Social Media Campaign
Summer Walters for LANDesk Software
Project Overview: LANDesk Marketing Manager needed to get more social media
activity and awareness going on their social media pages. She hired me to develop,
create, manage and help execute a month-long campaign for their brand. The
following campaign and deliverables were created to meet their goals.
2. Company and Campaign Overview
About: LANDESK, the global authority on user-oriented IT, enables users to be their
most productive while helping IT embrace the speed of change. Through the
integration and automation of IT systems management, endpoint
security management, service desk management, IT asset management, and
mobile device management, LANDESK empowers IT to balance rapidly evolving
user requirements with the need to secure critical assets and data. In other words,
and according to LANDesk’s CEO, “LANDesk Sells Sunshine.”
Strategy: I was tasked with creating a social media campaign with the theme of “Get
some sunshine, courtesy of LANDesk” to drive this point home: when IT end users
implement LANDesk automation solutions, they get more free time to enjoy the
sunshine and all the other important things that matter – instead of working late.

14. Blog Post (CEO Kick Off Blog) ghost-written by me for the CEO
See the rest of the blog post here:
http://www.landesk.com/blog/wha
t-i-do-sell-sunshine/
People often ask me “what is it that you do?” Here is what I tell them: I sell sunshine. Inevitably,
when someone hears this, I get a skeptical look and an ironic tone asking me – “Really? Come on
now, how is that possible?”
Let me tell you.
Technically, I’m the CEO of LANDesk Software, the leading provider of systems lifecycle
management, endpoint security, enterprise mobility and IT service management solutions across
the enterprise. Simply put, if you’re an IT Manager, I run a software company that sells the
software you need to manage your IT department simply. Technically speaking.
15. Accompanying Tweets/Posts
Tweets and FB posts were created to
accompany every activity in this campaign
with the #hashtag #getsomesunshine
#landesksunshine
2 Blog entries (ghost-written by me) from the
CEO kicked off and wrapped up the
campaign and contest
The infographics were also accompanied with
blog posts
Each post was attached to a hot lead landing
page to gather the lead
16. Hot Lead Landing Page for each post
A landing page accompanied each creative
piece posted on the LANDesk page so when
a user clicked on the jpg post it automatically
went to a landing page with the Get some
Sunshine icon
Each landing page had a hi-res graphic
(meme, flyer, infographic) on the left side and
on the right a form to gather the lead with the
call to action: “Ready to get some sunshine?
Fill out this form and someone will get right
back to you.”
