Starting Point and Needs

For a multinational company to position itself in a new market, it is essential to have a reliable local team capable of becoming an extension of a multinational’s communication department. This was Zinkup‘s main objective during the four years of collaboration with Delinea, a leading provider of privileged access management solutions. Zinkup became its communications team in Spain to develop its communications strategy and position a new brand in the cybersecurity market. They were looking for a team specialized in cybersecurity, familiar with the terminology, regulations and threats of the sector, as well as with knowledge of the audiences, media, events, associations and partners for the company in Spain. All this combined with being a good creator of specialized content and understanding the needs of the market.

Delinea first landed in Spain in 2018 as Thycotic, and started working with Zinkup in 2020 to carry out its communication strategy in Spain. Delinea was born in 2022 after the merger of two major American companies specializing in the security of privileged access and identities, Thycotic and Centrify. After the merger, a new brand was created: Delinea, which became a leading provider in the market with a portfolio of solutions for the security of hybrid and modern companies.

Their main communication and marketing objectives in Spain:

  1. Position a new brand in the Spanish cybersecurity market: Introduce the company to potential clients in Spain, companies with more than 100 employees.  
  2. Raise awareness of the technology, its need and its benefits: Give greater visibility to the need for privileged access management solutions and their importance as one of the main access routes for cybercriminals.  
  3. Become a reference and influencer in cybersecurity: Establish Delinea a reference in Spain for privileged access management solutions for hybrid and modern enterprises.
