FedEx Cyber Security Month 2015

In recognition of October National Cyber Security Month, I orchestrated a dynamic and comprehensive campaign for FedEx Corporation that not only aligned seamlessly with the national program but also showcased our unwavering commitment to safeguarding digital assets. Through meticulous planning and strategic execution, I designed a recurring series of events that encapsulated the essence of cybersecurity excellence.

At the core of this campaign were carefully selected guest speakers, thought leaders renowned in the cybersecurity realm. Their insights and expertise provided invaluable guidance, illuminating the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats and best practices. This engagement was not confined to physical events alone; it transcended into multiple facets of communication, ensuring a holistic and impactful outreach.

Our tailored approach extended to every communication channel, from meticulously crafted printed collateral to captivating web advertisements. The email and print invitations we designed exhibited a fusion of creativity and professionalism, capturing the attention of recipients across the organizational spectrum. Recognizing the diverse audience within FedEx Corporation, we strategically tailored messaging, catering to the unique concerns and responsibilities of general employees as well as crafting specialized communication for upper management.

A hallmark of the 2015 campaign was the introduction of a multi-day security conference, marking the third consecutive year this platform was integrated into our annual event calendar. This addition not only showcased our proactive stance on cybersecurity but also underscored our dedication to nurturing a culture of continuous learning and adaptation.

In summary, our October campaign stood as a testament to FedEx Corporation's unwavering dedication to cybersecurity excellence. Through the synergy of insightful guest speakers, meticulously crafted communication materials, and a thoughtfully designed security conference, we fortified our commitment to safeguarding our digital landscape. This endeavor was not merely a standalone event but a harmonious symphony of strategic elements, resonating with every tier of our organization, and reinforcing our resilience against cyber threats.
Harnessing the power of visual communication, I orchestrated a targeted poster campaign that reverberated through the entryways of campus buildings, setting the stage for heightened awareness and attendance at our groundbreaking cybersecurity events. Through this creative initiative, I ensured that the message of our event reached our audience with impact and resonance.

The strategic placement of these posters, strategically positioned at key entry points, transformed ordinary pathways into avenues of anticipation. Designed to captivate attention and incite curiosity, these posters transcended mere visuals, transforming into beacons of engagement that beckoned all who passed by. Their significance in our marketing strategy was reaffirmed by empirical data, as they emerged as the second most effective method of advertising, yielding tangible results that bolstered our event's success.

While these posters possessed an intrinsic ability to captivate, their effectiveness was further amplified when combined with the prowess of direct email invitations, which claimed the top spot in our advertising hierarchy. The dual power of visual impact and personalized electronic outreach formed a formidable alliance, leaving no stone unturned in our quest for comprehensive event promotion.

Through the harmonious convergence of striking visual design, strategic placement, and data-backed effectiveness, our poster campaign etched an indelible mark on the landscape of event marketing. It served as a testament to our innovative approach and unwavering commitment to maximizing awareness and attendance. As we look back on the success of the campaign, it stands as a shining example of how the fusion of creativity and strategy can yield remarkable results, shaping the future of event promotion within our organization.


Crafting an impactful and direct channel of engagement, we extended a personalized email invitation to our esteemed local employees, serving as a pivotal conduit to the enriching experience awaiting them at our cybersecurity presentations and conference program. Through this tailored communication, we endeavored to provide not just information, but an invitation to actively participate and engage in this pivotal event.

At the heart of this email lay a strategically embedded link, seamlessly connecting recipients to the registration site – a digital gateway to the world of insights, knowledge, and collaboration. This direct link not only facilitated ease of access but symbolized our commitment to streamlining the journey from invitation to engagement. It stood as a testament to our dedication to ensuring a frictionless and seamless experience for our valued attendees.

The intrinsic value of this email invitation lay in its personalization. By addressing our local employees directly, we recognized their individual role within the organization, appreciating their distinct perspective and contribution. This level of personalization resonated with recipients, transcending the boundaries of electronic communication and creating a genuine sense of connection.
I conceptualized a tangible and enduring takeaway for employees attending the event: a meticulously crafted calendar that seamlessly blended crucial company insights with impactful awareness messaging. This calendar, adorned with the information security key graphic, served as a dynamic tool to perpetuate our messaging beyond the event, ensuring its resonance throughout the entire year.

The calendar's significance extended far beyond its functional purpose. Each page was thoughtfully adorned with carefully curated company tidbits, serving as a reminder of our organization's rich history, values, and achievements. This strategic fusion of information merged utility with nostalgia, creating a dynamic narrative that reinforced our corporate identity in the minds of our employees.

Woven seamlessly into this narrative were the threads of awareness messaging, marked by the distinctive information security key graphic. By interweaving this imagery with practical advice and insights, we ensured that our employees were not just recipients of information, but active participants in the ongoing journey toward cybersecurity excellence.

The calendar's enduring nature meant that our messaging remained fresh and relevant throughout the year, permeating the daily lives of our employees. It represented more than just a tool; it encapsulated an ethos of constant vigilance and empowerment, nurturing a culture where cybersecurity was not just an event, but a way of life.
In a masterful continuation of our commitment to sustained awareness, I devised a strategic initiative to perpetuate our cybersecurity message long after the event concluded. I curated exclusive posters adorned with the signature of our distinguished presenter, transforming them into coveted prizes for our engaged attendees. These signed posters were meticulously crafted to not only captivate but to stimulate ongoing conversations among our employees, fostering a culture of vigilant awareness.

Each poster was more than just an artistic creation; it encapsulated our core awareness messaging in a visually compelling manner. The addition of our presenter's signature transformed them into tokens of value, serving as tangible reminders of the insights shared during the event. These prizes stood as symbols of recognition, celebrating the dedication of our employees to the cause of cybersecurity excellence.

Integral to the design of these posters was the strategic infusion of awareness messages. These messages were not only intended to educate but to ignite dialogues and discussions among employees. By presenting these thought-provoking snippets, we facilitated a culture of engagement where the conversation surrounding cybersecurity was nurtured organically, transcending the limitations of time and place.

As these posters found their homes in workspaces and common areas, they acted as silent catalysts, sparking discussions that permeated throughout the year. Their visual allure and educational value made them more than just decorations; they became tools of empowerment, enabling our employees to play an active role in championing cybersecurity awareness.
In a strategic move to empower our attendees with a tangible takeaway, I meticulously crafted a tabloid handout that not only demystified security awareness but also elucidated its direct relevance to each and every employee. This comprehensive handout represented a dynamic communication tool, bridging the gap between intricate security concepts and the practical implications for our workforce.

At its core, the handout served as a beacon of clarity, defining the complex realm of security awareness in accessible terms. It laid the foundation for understanding by explicitly elucidating the connections between cybersecurity and individual employees. This personalized touch transformed abstract concepts into relatable actions, bridging the gap between the technical and the tangible. The intention behind this visual masterpiece was two-fold: to enlighten our employees with essential security insights and to serve as a constant reminder that hung in their work areas, fostering a perpetual culture of vigilance.

By facilitating the hanging of this infographic, we went beyond a one-time handout; we introduced an ever-present mentor that guided employees in their day-to-day decisions. This strategic move transformed the tabloid from a mere informational piece to a tangible catalyst for behavioral change.
