Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

With innovations like streaming and teleconferencing as well as external trends like COVID-19, people found themselves living more of their lives online\u2014and in turn, looking to find better online protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, McAfee, the global cybersecurity leader, announced it was spinning off its enterprise business to focus exclusively on consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two realities provided McAfee with a moment-in-time opportunity to redefine what its consumer business stands for and become even more relevant for the people it serves and position itself for accelerated growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

McAfee partnered with Prophet to uncover how it could best become more relevant with consumers. After auditing the competitive landscape and immersing in what made McAfee unique, Prophet conducted research with over 5,000 customers internationally to understand the needs and opportunities where McAfee could play. In our research, we uncovered a white space that customers care about and where McAfee could credibly deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working closely with McAfee executives, we crafted a new brand strategy, including a more human-centered brand positioning that pushes beyond the category\u2019s conventions. We looked at untapped drivers of purchase to build a brand that focuses on how McAfee\u2019s protection\u2014not just cybersecurity, but identity, privacy and family protections too\u2014frees and empowers people to confidently enjoy their lives online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We developed a new verbal and visual brand identity to match\u2014crafting a brand voice that is approachable and optimistic, messaging that highlights McAfee\u2019s research-backed strengths and a look-and-feel that is modern and dynamic that can be applied across marketing and product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prophet translated the new strategy and identity into a compelling digital launch campaign. The \u201cFree to Be\u201d campaign highlights how everyone deserves to be able to do what they want to do online\u2014that people should be free to learn, free to shop, free to bank, free to connect\u2014confidently and without fear of online threats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/article>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The new strategy, brand identity and corresponding campaign herald the future of online protection\u2014not just for McAfee, but for what consumers should demand from the online protection industry. McAfee will continue to roll out major updates and industry firsts that help consumers stay protected and enjoy life online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
