Overview
Galah Cyber helps founder-led and SaaS businesses get security right, with advice, education and training.
It wanted to be the security voice founders already trust by the time their first enterprise customer asks for proof of controls.
The campaign
Galah Cyber came back for a second campaign after a twelve-episode run on First Cheque, this time on Pick My Brain with Alan Jones.
Host-read integrations in front of founders and early-stage investors.
Three dedicated landing pages, each with its own script, so every message had a clear call to action.
Clips and mentions across LinkedIn, TikTok, the newsletter and show notes.
Results
Fourteen episodes on Pick My Brain.
A sponsor that comes back for a second show, then extends past its booking, is the clearest sign a campaign is working.
