P R O D U C T L A U N C H

The odds were against them.

Computer Associates faced an uphill fight. The struggle for a share of the

anti-virus software market is the industry’s most ferociously competitive

battle. Computer Associates had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to

carve out a meager .02% of the market. That’s when they called Re:Launch.

The new marketing plan we created for Inoculan AntiVirus revived the

product with sizzling promotional energy. Our sales plan was specifically

designed to compete against McAfee and Norton –who together owned

80% of the market.

The new packaging we designed helped Inoculan get noticed on crowded

shelves. It was accompanied by a steady stream of shelf-talkers and incen-

tives to drive product off the shelf. Plus, we unleashed a stream of direct

mail and Web advertising to gain early adopters, drive traffic into the

stores and build back-end residual sales.

When the smoke cleared, Inoculan held a respectable #3 slot on the best-

seller list.

From unknown to bestseller inthe industry’s toughest market.
