Following a competitive pitch, we're delighted to announce that we've been selected by Mimecast, a leading email archiving and security service provider, to run an newly integrated communications programme.

The campaign will look to profile UK-based Mimecast as one of the leading examples of cloud computing globally and particularly target industries such as legal, accountancy and financial services where information risks and compliance legislation are greatest. 

Communications Director of Mimecast, Matthew Ravden, said: "The media's perception of cloud computing is still lagging behind the reality, which is that this is a rapidly maturing market delivering substantial savings to businesses of all sizes.  It's also a crowded market with some very big players jockeying for position, so we'll need to punch above our weight.  We felt that Octopus was the best fit for us, both culturally and in terms of their insight into our marketplace."

The Octopus team will have a heavy social media focus working alongside Mimecast's recently appointed Head of Content & Communities, Justin Pirie.
