Helping SICCAR Build A Winning Brand Strategy
How Our Brand Workshop Helped SICCAR Harness the Power of Targeted Marketing
Most technology companies face similar marketing challenges — especially when it comes to articulating their value. In September, Nine Stones ran a full-day brand workshop with deep tech firm SICCAR to help them refine their messaging, identify their audience, and position themselves for growth.
Why SICCAR Needed a Brand Workshop
SICCAR enables organisations to securely share sensitive data using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Like many innovators in the tech space, they faced a common challenge: how to convey the value of their solution without overwhelming their audience with technical detail.
To drive commercial traction, SICCAR needed to reframe their brand and content strategy — with a focus on audience education and clear value communication.
Helping SICCAR Understand Their Audience
Our workshop focused on building the foundation for a brand strategy that would speak directly to their ideal customers. Key components included:
- Market segmentation
- Customer avatars
- Value proposition alignment
- Competitor analysis
- Tone of voice discovery
- Storytelling & narrative clarity
Market Segmentation
We helped SICCAR define two core audience segments:
- Private Sector – e.g. Oil & Gas companies concerned with operational security
- Public Sector – e.g. government organisations like SAAS, focused on compliance and efficiency
Understanding these groups enabled SICCAR to tailor content more effectively and avoid a one-size-fits-all approach.
Target Customer Avatars
Together, we built detailed customer avatars. This helped bring each market segment to life — from job titles and pain points to preferred communication channels. For example:
- Private sector personas care about protecting citizen data and engage most via Twitter.
- Public sector personas prioritise operational continuity and are best reached through email and community platforms.
The Impact of SICCAR's Brand Workshop
The workshop not only aligned the team around a clear market focus, but also gave SICCAR the tools to:
- Develop tailored messaging for each segment
- Identify strategic distribution channels
- Understand how different pain points map to their offering
Ultimately, the workshop enabled SICCAR to take a more confident, customer-centric approach to their marketing — setting the stage for growth and improved brand recognition.
