Reaching IT Audiences with a Summertime Twist

Overview
OutSystems set out to engage IT decision-makers, developers, and architects with a fresh take on B2B marketing—one that captured the feeling of a well-deserved staycation.

We developed a strategic, omni-channel lead generation campaign that went beyond expectations. At its heart was a series of bold, eye-catching ads brought to life through bespoke illustrations crafted by our creative team. Infused with the warmth and vibrancy of summer, the campaign stood out in a category often defined by convention—delivering standout results and meaningful engagement.
