Building a multibillion-dollar brand from scratch

Doing just that has helped Axonius grow from an unknown cybersecurity company to a $2.6B brand in just five years.

How Rubrik differentiates its thought leadership through design

Exceptional research alone isn’t enough; it must be delivered in a way that’s impactful and accessible.
That’s how Rubrik’s CEO led the charge using design as a point of difference for ‘Rubrik Zero Labs’, its thought leadership series. And it paid off, driving higher engagement, more enquiries, a sales team that actively uses it, analyst meetings, industry recognition and ultimately more bang for their buck.
Join us to uncover our approach to thought leadership reports that buck the trend.
