Kyndryl (NYSE: KD) is the world’s largest IT infrastructure services provider, serving thousands of corporate customers in more than 60 countries. The company designs, builds, manages and upgrades complex, mission-critical IT systems that the world depends on every day.
The project came to us less than six months after the Kyndryl brand was established. The challenge in this case was to present a company that had officially appeared on the market a few months earlier.
The aim of the project was to strengthen the company’s recognition in the Polish market, with a particular focus on its competence in IT infrastructure services, products developed on the basis of open source and cloud, as well as its creation of dedicated solutions for various sectors of the economy, including the public, financial and manufacturing segments.

– initially wants to communicate as the world’s largest startup and technology agnostic.
In analyzing this case, we identified a number of challenges. The client operates in an industry that the press is eager to write about, but also in which the competition is substantial and communicatively active. The issue was to convince journalists that despite the start-up mentality, the company is technologically mature, creates jobs in the country and is worth watching.
We decided to bet on showing journalists the Kyndryl brand more closely so that they could supplement their knowledge of the new brand with first-hand information from the managing director of the Polish branch.
First, we conducted reconnaissance among key media – we asked the 10 most important journalists from the brand’s point of view what they knew and what they thought about the Kyndryl brand.
On the basis of these conversations, we held a press meeting, where we presented details of the brand’s operations in Poland, its plans, and explained the history of its creation and belated launch.
After the successful presentation, the project moved into the permanent service phase.
