INEVIDESK

New Positioning To Launch Into The Channel

The challenge

Inevidesk had previously sold exclusively direct to the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sectors since its launch in 2020. In June 2024, the VDI challenger expanded its sales strategy and entered the channel alongside its first strategic partner, Scan, giving MSPs and resellers an alternative to the big tech vendors.

To support this shift, Inevidesk asked The Flywheelers to refresh its messaging for this new audience, amplify the launch of its channel partner programme, and showcase its expertise in the channel to attract more partners alongside end-user customers.

The approach

The Flywheelers worked with Inevidesk to reposition its direct sales messaging, highlighting the platform’s value for resellers and MSPs and communicating why they should consider Inevidesk over other players in the VDI space.

We then worked closely with Inevidesk’s co-founders to develop a comms strategy to bring these messages to life and raise awareness of Inevidesk’s presence in the channel. This included:

  • Media relations: Built a pipeline of news to demonstrate the momentum behind Inevidesk’s new offering. This started with the launch of the channel programme with its first strategic partner, Scan; a momentum news piece announcing three new partners (Totality ServicesLogicle IT and WIT); and news of the expansion of its product suite. For each news item, we reconnected with channel journalists to demonstrate Inevidesk’s momentum and growth in the channel.
  • Thought leadership: Developed compelling thought leadership angles and secured profile interviews for Inevidesk’s co-founder, Tim Whiteley, to highlight the pain points its solution helps channel partners solve for their customers – from working seamlessly across locations to the limitations of large, expensive cloud vendors.
  • Organic social: Adjusted Inevidesk’s voice on LinkedIn with a greater focus on channel-aligned content and how it works with partners. This included a regular cadence of content promoting Inevidesk’s USPs compared to other big tech players in the market, plus commentary on other vendors in the space.

The impact

The Flywheelers generated awareness for Inevidesk’s channel offering in some of the largest UK channel publications, including CRNTechnology ResellerChannelLife UK and Comms Business. Interviews with MSP Channel Insights and CRN provided a deep dive into the programme’s goal of challenging established vendors, including VMware, Citrix, AWS and Azure.

We further solidified Inevidesk’s channel positioning through thought leadership demonstrating the co-founder’s expertise on channel trends and topics, including public cloud in Intelligent Tech Channels and Channel Pro, and the shortfalls of public cloud in PCR.

The organic social programme drove a 10% increase in LinkedIn followers between June 2024 and December 2024.

What INEVIDESK had to say

“Inevidesk’s strategic shift to an indirect sales model meant we had to reposition our brand towards a new audience, adapting both who we spoke to and how we spoke to them. The Flywheelers’ understanding of the reseller landscape helped us to refine our messaging and quickly raise awareness of our offering with MSPs through media and social channels.”
