Adrian Ertorteguy — Brand Campaigns and Transformations

Brand leadership for complex technology

I turn technical portfolios into clear brands, differentiated offers and go-to-market systems people can understand, adopt and sell.

I define the category, package the value and activate the story across product, sales, partners and market.

Four campaigns · one leadership pattern

Case 01 · Brand transformation + integrated platform launch

2023–2024

I built ngenious around one useful promise: manage your Intelligent Edge in one place.

The portfolio had expanded beyond connectivity. The brand had to unify new capabilities without weakening trust in SD-WAN.

The market shift

The product portfolio had outgrown its legacy perception.

Legacy perception

Connectivity and SD-WAN.

Expanded reality

Connectivity, IoT, cloud, security, data and AI in one platform.

The strategic answer

Preserve trust in the core. Make the expansion easy to grasp.

The name preserved ngena recognition while signaling intelligence and expansion. Connectivity remained the foundation.

A system the organization could use

A governed brand system—not a launch look.

I owned its identity and application across web, product, campaigns and enablement.

Case 02 · Vertical brand + demand-generation campaign · 2024

Make the Intelligent School fundable, quotable and ready to buy.

Schools faced fragmented technology and funding. I packaged connectivity, safety and IoT into one grant-aware offer.

03 · Activate

Channel demand

Equipped sellers; used events and behavior to focus follow-up.

My ownership: strategy, positioning, offer architecture and UX; funding logic was developed with engineering.

The result: a fundable, purchasable expression of Intelligent Edge.

Case 03 · Brand-led platform reveal + market validation

2026

GuideOn gave Guident a software-platform story the market could see, test and discuss.

I created the name and identity, helped define five modules and aligned the platform story.

The campaign platform

Turn an industry conference into a live product reveal.

With Jacksonville Transportation Authority, I modernized the event, co-created the program and connected GuideOn’s keynote and demo to the ecosystem.

We revealed the Monitor, Analytics and Reporting MVPs with Control integrated. A separate AI-assisted environment tested post-MVP workflows without presenting them as production-ready.

The result: a credible software-platform story and repeatable validation environment.

Case 04 · Zero-to-one brand + global activation campaign

2017–2020

The human promise

Your data should belong to you.

I built the brand, translating a blockchain marketplace through identity, app UI, campaigns and investor storytelling.

Act 01 · The Data Thief

A film became a live brand reveal.

The Data Thief made the campaign tension visible: companies extracted value while people remained unaware. The film’s final continuous shot crossed into Wibson’s Barcelona launch after the CEO keynote, turning a cinematic story into the live brand reveal.

Act 02 · Own Your Data World Tour

The story traveled from launch stage to investor rooms.

I built a modular campaign system—keynotes, presentations, videos, demos and event experiences—that carried the same ownership narrative through investor conferences and roadshows in Tokyo, Seoul and China. I supported the CEO throughout the tour and presented at selected events as the company pursued its reported ≈$14M raise.

Act 03 · Buenos Aires adoption

Data ownership became a tangible exchange.

An advertised six-month activation with Buenos Aires Subte turned Wibson’s ownership promise into an immediate exchange: join the app, sell one data point and receive two rides plus WIB tokens. By giving people a concrete reason to try the marketplace, the campaign helped activate approximately 10,000 users.

Product evolution: from marketplace to privacy controls.

The result: an abstract protocol became a human brand and participation experience.
