Summary
The advent of Web 2.0 had profound implications for Cisco. The company's success in the late-1990s had made it synonymous with internet hardware, but the brand was not perceived as playing a similar role in the new online revolution. As such, Cisco aimed to reposition its brand from being seen as an industrial operator to one that allowed individual consumers to enjoy the best possible communications experience. The resultant 'Welcome to the human network' campaign ran across TV, online and print, with communications emphasizing the human benefits Cisco could offer, rather than the technical ones. The campaign microsite received some five million visitors, with perceptions of Cisco as a technology leader among technical decision makers (Cisco's core target) jumping 80% in one year, and Cisco's products, and especially the new lines at the centre of the campaign, posting impressive levels of sales growth.
