Reimagining Teradata: A Strategic Journey to Drive Growth

Vivaldi adopted a strategic approach to address Teradata’s challenges and drive growth. Collaborating closely with Teradata’s leadership, Vivaldi embarked on a comprehensive process to revitalize the brand strategy. Through in-depth workshops and customer interviews, Vivaldi refined brand directions, focusing on reconnecting with customer segments that Teradata had inadvertently moved away from. This exercise resulted in a coherent and compelling brand definition that articulated the “what” and “how” of Teradata’s offerings in customer-facing language. Additionally, Vivaldi worked closely with Teradata to develop a set of core values and principles that would guide behaviors, influence decision-making, and foster a values-driven culture within the organization. These customer-centric values became the foundation for attracting top talent and resonating with target audiences. Finally, Vivaldi crafted a comprehensive messaging strategy, including defining an overarching message strategy and key messaging themes. By adapting the corporate messaging architecture into audience-specific messaging, Vivaldi ensured that Teradata could tell a consistent and powerful story, amplifying its brand presence and differentiation. The collaborative efforts of Teradata and Vivaldi resulted in a revitalized brand strategy, a values-driven culture, and tailored messaging that played a pivotal role in reconnecting with customers, attracting top talent, and driving positive outcomes for Teradata.

The revitalized brand positioning, values-driven culture, and tailored messaging enabled Teradata to reconnect with customers, attract top talent, and differentiate itself in the highly competitive software analytics industry, paving the way for continued growth and success. Notably, Teradata’s stock price increased by 57%, signaling market endorsement and the positive impact of the strategic initiatives.
