The Challenge
Despite pioneering the Identity category, Okta was losing the awareness battle to incumbents like Microsoft. We had to move the brand beyond the IT department, aligning leadership behind a long-term investment that reframed a technical service into a high-stakes business advantage.

My Role
I led the creative direction and narrative strategy, building the framework that secured executive buy-in. Then steered the concept from development to worldwide execution, creating a high-performance system that maintained brand integrity across every market.

Scale & Durability
We launched a cohesive visual system across eight global hubs. To move beyond a one-off campaign, I built a modular toolkit that fueled demand gen and field marketing for 24 months—ensuring the brand scaled from OOH to regional sales funnels without losing its edge.

The Impact
It’s Possible drove Okta to the #1 spot in unaided awareness globally. It replaced fragmented technical jargon with a strategic narrative, establishing Identity as a primary driver of business progress rather than a backend utility.
