Introduction

Breaking through with integrated marketing and creative flair

Citrix, a leader in digital workspace solutions, sought to position itself as a key voice in the evolving "future of work" conversation. As remote and hybrid work models became the norm, Citrix aimed to demonstrate how its technology enables employees to work from anywhere – seamlessly, securely, and effectively.

To cut through the noise surrounding remote work, Citrix engaged PAN to develop an omnichannel campaign that broke through an extremely crowded conversation and brought their value props to life.

Bringing the future of work to life

PAN devised a multi-pronged strategy to elevate Citrix’s voice in the digital workspace and employee experience discussions. The campaign centered around:

  • Airstream Activation: A key component of the campaign was wrapping an Airstream in Citrix’ new branding and taking it on the road. Influencers worked from the Airstream in various settings – urban, rural, and off-the-grid – to illustrate the flexibility Citrix enables.
  • Influencer Partnerships: Citrix collaborated with industry experts, including Evan Kirstel, Natalie Zfat, and Kevin Jackson, to amplify core messaging, and share their work-from-anywhere experiences, on social media.
  • Media Relations & Thought Leadership: PAN secured high-profile media placements and broadcast segments in top-tier media for Citrix executives. These appearances reinforced Citrix’s authority in remote work and digital transformation.
  • Original Research: Citrix commissioned multiple research initiatives, analyzing trends such as employee experiences, work-from-home behaviors, and the impact of remote work on productivity and mental health. These data-driven insights fueled media stories and social conversations.
  • Social Amplification: The campaign leveraged both paid and organic social media strategies, driving engagement with #TakeTimeBack and showcasing Citrix’s role in shaping the modern workplace.

Turning insights into industry influence

Citrix’s campaign delivered measurable gains in brand awareness, media visibility, and industry influence. It drove a 102% increase in “Future of Work” mentions and 171% increase in employee experience conversations.

Media engagement was equally impactful, with placements in Business Insider, The Washington Post, and Forbes (among others). PAN additionally secured 12 national broadcast segments across CNBC, FOX Business, and Yahoo! Finance.

Meanwhile, social media and influencer activations extended Citrix’s reach (1 billion+ potential impressions), with the Airstream activation alone generating 18 million+ views across platforms. Of note, the campaign also drove the highest engagement on owned social channels.

Citrix’s authority in the hybrid work conversation was – at a time of peak competition – solidified.
