Backstory

We took over the Winston campaign one week into its launch and made some substantial changes to their campaign, quickly resulting in increased traffic and backers.The technology behind Winston is complex but its what it offers consumers is simple: Winston protects your online privacy and gives you security in an era where big tech companies track people's information online. We started from the ground up, and used every tool in our arsenal; starting from redesigning and overhauling their campaign page, engaging in aggressive PR and marketing tactics, cross promotions, utilizing influencers and SMM posts, and almost immediately the campaign took off.Winston is still an ongoing campaign, with its popularity and appeal set to increase as more people discover how big tech companies track and use peoples online information.
