01The Client

Humanizing cybersecurity

Axonius has redefined cybersecurity in a few short years as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in history. Needing an agency that could handle production, marketing, and media buying in one place, Axonius engaged Ruckus to create, film, and post-produce content with Simone Biles and Amy Bream for a global audience.

02Controlling Complexity

Human beings, not just endpoints

Noticing that competitors never featured human beings or the complexity of their lives, Ruckus built Controlling Complexity around Simone Biles, the most decorated U.S. women's gymnast ever, and Amy Bream, a Nike adaptive athlete and CrossFit competitor, both personifying the idea of controlling complexity and overcoming adversity.

Ruckus storyboarded the docu-style films to translate complex camera movements and brand values before a frame was shot, then filmed both stories across Houston and Nashville, producing over a dozen videos cut for specific channels.

“We started looking for a unicorn, an agency that could translate our concept into a compelling story and could also help us with media placement. Ruckus is the only agency that gave me the confidence that could make our vision a reality, and that is exactly what they did.”
