Introduction
Arctic Wolf provides organizations of any size the ability to immediately attain world-class security operations capabilities. Their cloud-native platform delivers broad visibility across endpoint, network, and the cloud that can stop attacks before they escalate into breaches. At the same time, their Concierge Security Team identifies vulnerabilities, exposures, and risky configurations and helps remediate issues before attackers exploit them.
To reach new prospects, Arctic Wolf needed to create a digital field marketing strategy using engaging, relevant content to increase lead quality, conversions and revenue opportunities for both the company and its channel partners.
Problem
A need to pivot field marketing strategy quickly while driving quality leads
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Arctic Wolf’s field marketing team played a significant role in securing the company’s net new opportunities. So, when over 100 in-person field marketing events were canceled in a matter of a week, Arctic Wolf needed to act quickly to continue its field team’s momentum and bring the organization’s marketing activities into the digital realm.
Arctic Wolf’s challenge centered on how to pivot the company’s field marketing strategy to a virtual one while ensuring that lead quality and conversions would increase, and ultimately that the organization would have greater revenue opportunities.
“Marketers have always faced the struggle of how to do more with less,” said Jada Holst, Demand Generation Specialist at Arctic Wolf. “Creating content for a new virtual strategy takes a lot of time, and we didn’t have time. No one expected this pandemic, but one thing we knew could help us keep our momentum was leveraging our existing content.”
“We were able to increase digital engagement and enhance the prospect user experience, as well as their journey. And most importantly, we were able to take the insights we got using ON24 and turn them into actionable data.”

Solution
A digital engagement strategy for Arctic Wolf and its channel partners
Arctic Wolf decided to purchase ON24 Webcast Elite. The company wanted to make sure its target audience would find its content relevant, so the field team, digital marketing team and channel partners came together to share insights that would help transition Arctic Wolf into the virtual world successfully.
Arctic Wolf leveraged the ON24 Platform’s simulive feature to enable its regional reseller partners to make the content accessible to their own audiences. The Arctic Wolf team was excited to be able to repurpose this content that was already performing very well.
“We moved to digital and are so fortunate to have a great partner in ON24 to help us,” Holst said. “What was initially a challenge improved our marketing strategy for the long haul, and ON24 was a critical part of that.”
To make digital experiences engaging and continue the customer journey, Arctic Wolf uses ON24 Platform features such as calls to action and engagement tools including Q&A boxes. The company then leverages the engagement data it collects during these experiences for sales follow-up. ON24 provides opportunities to help Arctic Wolf get an indication of what content the organization’s leads might find most interesting.
“I love ON24. We’re so happy with the way ON24 has supported us in this time of transition for field marketers,” Holst said. “There isn’t a chance that we would’ve been able to execute such awesome campaigns if it weren’t for their platform and stellar customer service.”
