Overview

A remote first company, with teams all over the world, Globalization Partners is the leading Global Employment Platform™ that makes it fast, simple, and compliant for companies to hire anyone, anywhere.

Objective

Demonstrate the depth and breadth of Globalization Partners’ expertize, and substantiate its position as the ​​market leader in the HR Technology and remote work industry.

To raise awareness of the Globalization Partners’ brand, educate the market about a new, fast-growing category known as ‘Employer of Record’ and position its CEO, Nicole Sahin, as an entrepreneur who single-handedly created the industry.

Challenge

Globalization Partners needed a trusted PR partner to help expand its business operations and build brand awareness in new markets, particularly in the UK and APAC where it had little-to-no media presence.

Globalization Partners’ brand name and business model – ‘Employer of Record’ or ‘EOR’ – had limited recognition which meant that Touchdown had to create a PR plan to educate the market, as well as build awareness of the brand itself.

Approach

Shortly after the launch, the pandemic struck and the global economy ground to a halt. Global travel and face-to-face meetings stopped and everyone was limited to working from home. With global talent land-locked and home-based, the traditional process for hiring new staff around the world faced fresh problems. Sensing an opportunity, Touchdown quickly pivoted its PR campaign emphasizing Globalization Partners’ expertize on remote-first culture and positioning the company’s platform as the leading global hiring solution for the world’s remote workforce.

Touchdown focused on creating compelling thought leadership content across multi-region campaigns, alongside a steady pipeline of news announcements and proactive media comment opportunities. Focusing on trade, business and national media was the sweet spot in targeting Globalization Partners’ key customer personas, resulting in a spectrum of media coverage.
