Successful Acquisition: IBM Buys Apptio for $4.6 billion

When Apptio recruited my services, they were owned by a hedge fund and the goal was to be acquired by a corporation within five years.

With no dedicated writer at the time, they were hitting roadblocks in their marketing. Content copy lacked fluidity, messages were confusing, and engagement was struggling as a result.

I worked across teams to help form a cohesive, accessible voice that carried through all content and short form marketing, driving growth and helping to achieve the ultimate goal of acquisition in half the time expected.
