  • #11 The core of AxiCom’s PR philosophy is that great campaigns start with great stories. If we can unlock the story that tells the narrative of the company’s brand then the influencers – whether social, digital, media or analysts – will tune in and follow the story. And once the influencers are reporting the story, the customers, partners and employees will track it too. It all begins with the story and over the past 20 years we have successfully defined these stories for the likes of Red Hat, VMware, Samsung, Nokia, Citrix, IBM, and many others.For Red Hat we have built around the power of Open Systems and made the client the poster-child for one of the biggest trensds in IT. We also very successfully positioned Red Hat at the enterprise level of IT – leavings its open systems’ competitors languising at the desktop level. And we continue to drive the PR for Red Hat across Europe.For VMware we made virtualisation a liberating force for the datacentre and in so doing made VMware one of the hottest companies in the world of IT.For Nokia we are defining both the products and the brand appeal and bringing an emotional pull to the world’s greatest handset manufacturer as it successfully rebuilds market share.
