Sentry’s live ads, scored against their buyer

  • We've been developing a new recipe., scored 4/10 against Sentry’s ideal buyer. 'Cook with Sentry' brand metaphor gives engineers no reason to click; product value is completely absent.
  • Trace-connected, so you can see the wood from the trees., scored 6/10 against Sentry’s ideal buyer. Trace-connected angle speaks directly to siloed observability pain but lacks specificity or proof.
