How Decoded helped Aphthoria successfully launch a new cybersecurity company and steadily grow month over month.
Breaking into a crowded market like cybersecurity is tough.
Especially for a new business.
How do you stand out in an already saturated space? That's exactly what Aphthoria was up against — they knew they needed to authentically communicate their value to clients.
But didn't know where to start.
The Challenges They Were Up Against
They didn’t have a website yet and wanted to do it right the first time.
When a lead said they didn't want to do business with Aphthoria because they didn't have a website, they knew they needed to make this a top priority.
They didn’t know exactly how to position their services.
Aphthoria are cybersecurity pros, but they didn't know how to clearly communicate what they were out to do.
It was hard to prioritize marketing.
The founding team was made up of exceptional cybersecurity SMEs, but as they got up and running, marketing fell to the bottom of the to-do list.

How we helped
Aphthoria Cyber Security
Brand Messaging Workshop
Without a clear and compelling brand message, the team knew they were missing opportunities in the crowded cybersecurity market. We worked with the Aphthoria team to use the StoryBrand Framework and build a brand message to help them distinguish their services as a new business.

Executive Coaching
As Aphthoria built the business from the ground up, we were there alongside them to provide guidance, best practices, and executive coaching for their marketing and messaging. With a solid, foundational message to build from, Aphthoria has a strategy to take into the future.

Sales & Marketing Content
Aphthoria knew they needed a website and that it would be one of the most important places to begin telling their new brand story. We supported them by writing a powerful homepage that has helped set them apart from other cybersecurity companies and contributed to their consistent growth.
