The Challenge
CloudDefense had a solid cloud security platform but faced a classic scaling problem:
- Resource Constraints: 3-person marketing team with 1 dedicated writer
- Competitive Pressure: AWS, Azure, and GCP (Wiz) security were dominating search
- Content Bottleneck: Could only produce 8-10 pieces of content monthly
- Technical Complexity: Cloud security topics required deep expertise
- Global Reach: Needed to cover multiple cloud providers, regions, and compliance frameworks
The Goal
Scale organic presence to compete with cloud giants without scaling team size.
