Hackers Anonymous - MarCom Awards

Tenable, Inc.

Columbia, MD

About Project

Many cybersecurity companies glorify hackers to make them seem like cool rockstars. We wanted to turn that notion on its head and make hackers a defeated shell of themselves after the launch of our cybersecurity product, Tenable One.
So for the commercial, we put hackers in an AA style support group venting their frustrations towards Tenable and created the tagline: We Make Hackers Wannacry. (described below)
There's some fun cybersecurity easter eggs in here ('wannacry' is one of the biggest hacker exploits in history, as was colonial pipeline, and Log4Sell). The 'Battling My Daemons' shirt, motivational posters, etc adds to the tongue in cheekiness. Betweeen all our different versions on YouTube, the commercial has been viewed over 1 million times and 2.8 million times including tv streaming ad spend.

Submitted for consideration is:
- 3 x15s cuts of the commercial
- 30s cut of the commercial
