INEVIDESK

Boosting Brand Credibility As A Challenger In VDI

The challenge

Since launching in 2020, Inevidesk has been taking on big tech players in the market, such as Citrix and Microsoft Azure, to address significant barriers around cost and performance for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) technology. Inevidesk wanted to raise awareness of the business as a market challenger and demonstrate its deep expertise in the technology.

The approach

The Flywheelers supported Inevidesk’s next phase of growth, focused on raising brand awareness and credibility for its disruptive solution – first within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, then within the channel as it expanded its sales strategy to become sector-agnostic.

At the beginning of the partnership, we supported the creation of Inevidesk’s brand narrative, giving the scaleup consistent messaging to underpin its internal and external communications across PR, marketing and sales. This included market and competitor analysis, 1:1 conversations with key customers, and workshopping with the co-founders. We developed Inevidesk’s Mission, Vision and Purpose, alongside an elevator pitch and persona-led messaging for business leaders and IT managers.

We then devised an integrated comms strategy to raise brand awareness for Inevidesk and its technology. Our retainer activity included:

  • Media relations and thought leadership: Holding Point of View sessions to capture the co-founders’ insights on key market trends and anecdotal customer feedback. This informed targeted, proactive byline and profile pitching to AEC, business and tech media, alongside news hijacking.
  • Owned blog content: Developing bite-sized content around trends, events and customer case studies for posting on LinkedIn, and encouraging traffic back to the website.
  • Organic social: Creating bespoke posts and assets to build Inevidesk’s voice on LinkedIn around media coverage, Inevidesk’s blogs, industry events, news and more.

Awards programme: Targeting awards within the AEC industry and technology sector to achieve third-party endorsement of the business and VDI platform.

The impact

Between March 2023 and June 2024, The Flywheelers secured 41 pieces of coverage for Inevidesk in key tech, channel and vertical media – a 36% increase against our coverage KPI. These included articles in AEC Magazine, TechRadar Pro, Maddyness, Startups Magazine, Comms Business and Channel Life.

The organic social programme resulted in a 47% increase in LinkedIn followers between March 2023 and June 2024.

Additionally, Inevidesk has been recognised by several respected awards. This includes being shortlisted for the London Construction Awards, the National Building & Construction Awards, and the UK Business Tech Awards, and receiving ‘Highly Commended’ in the Most Innovative Contech Start-up category at the Building Innovation Awards.

“In The Flywheelers, we found a partner that not only has the tech experience to help us better articulate our point of difference against legacy players, but has the creativity and flair to elevate our external brand. And since kicking off, we are increasingly going into conversations where potential customers have a greater awareness of who we are and what we do.”
