Samsara
Building a connected brand experience
Samsara is pioneering the Connected Operations Cloud — helping businesses that depend on physical operations increase their safety, efficiency, and sustainability with IoT devices and data.
As a rapidly expanding startup growing at a rate of 4X over three years, the brand needed to scale with the company and its goals. Our team set out to craft an identity that resonates with customers and employees through web and marketing materials, campaigns, internal and external events, and the talent brand. Built to help sectors that are traditionally underserved by the tech industry, Samsara’s messaging and content are continually evolving and looking for a place to live. Creating a system that can grow and flex with the evolving company while establishing a solid foundation that resonates with businesses from energy utilities to transportation companies helped propel Samsara to a successfully IPO in 2021.

Customer led
The Samsara customers operate in sectors of the economy which tech has traditionally ignored, and so they became weary of a Silicon Valley take on their industries. Telling authentic customer stories that feature real people and real brands in the marketing imagery became a key way to connect and build trust with our audience. By sourcing custom photography we built deep customer relationships and signaled our authenticity to the industries they work within.

Impact through execution
The organizations that keep the world running — everything from energy utilities to food delivery companies, transportation, and warehousing — rely on Samsara. Up-leveling the design and execution of all marketing and sales collateral, from the website to the one-sheet, signaled that Samsara respects these organizations and the role they play in the global economy. Clear design and concise messaging show that any business that depends on physical operations can get insights and improve operations by harnessing IoT data.

Building connections
Samsara’s impact on business reaches from the profound to the straightforward — helping organizations get their people home safely, cut carbon emissions, and simply make day-to-day tasks easier.

Every environment was constructed to build a connection to our customers through the brand.
