Microsoft: Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Seattle, WA

Client: Microsoft

Agency: Wunderman Thompson

2022

The Ask:

In a world still reeling from COVID and digital overload, position Microsoft as the leader in cybersecurity—and do it in a way that feels open, human, and trustworthy.

 

The Challenge:

Security anxiety was at an all-time high. Remote work was the norm, phishing was on the rise, and the public didn’t know who to trust. Microsoft had the tools, research, and credibility—but their cybersecurity expertise was scattered across dozens of internal docs, product pages, and corporate blog posts.

 

What We Did:

We made it simple. We created a centralized cybersecurity hub—a beautifully designed, publicly accessible site that brought all of Microsoft’s security knowledge into one place. No log-ins. No jargon. Just straight-up answers, best practices, real-time updates, and storytelling that demystified security for IT pros and casual users alike.

 

Our strategy: make cybersecurity feel like something you could actually understand—and do something about.We mapped user journeys, clarified messaging, and made sure every page helped Microsoft show, not just say, what leadership looks like in the digital security space.

 

Where It Worked:

The site became a global anchor for Microsoft’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign. It scaled across teams, geographies, and verticals—helping internal stakeholders align, while giving external users a go-to destination in a moment of high uncertainty.

 

The Impact:

From fragmented insights to a unified, human-first platform.

From tech-speak to trust-building.

And a global brand showing what real leadership in security looks like—when it matters most.
