In the fast-moving world of technology, one truth remains constant: IT teams want to be in control. Control over their networks, their devices, their data, and the user experience. Without it, security gaps open up, fleets become unmanageable, and operational efficiency takes a hit.
That’s the thinking behind our You’re In Control campaign — a focused initiative designed to help IT leaders see exactly how they can take back control with the CommBox Classic S5 and CommBox Manage.
The Challenges IT Teams Face
Whether you’re running tech in a school, a university, or a business, the challenges are strikingly similar:
Security – Protecting systems from threats while keeping access easy for legitimate users.
Control – Managing large fleets of devices efficiently across multiple rooms or sites.
Scale – Rolling out technology in a way that’s consistent and sustainable over time.
We heard from IT managers in both education and enterprise that these three priorities are at the top of their list. And if a solution doesn’t address all three, it’s not a complete answer.
A Resource Built for IT Decision-Makers
At the heart of the campaign is the You’re In Control whitepaper — a practical, plain-language guide that shows IT teams how the Classic S5 and CommBox Manage work together to deliver secure, controllable, and scalable display solutions.
This isn’t a glossy brochure. It’s a tool. One that helps IT leaders evaluate their current setup, spot vulnerabilities, and see how CommBox can solve their real-world problems.
A Campaign That Looks and Feels Different
We knew we needed to get attention in a busy marketplace. So we took a bold approach — pairing the whitepaper with a creative campaign that draws on 80s horror-movie style to dramatise common “IT nightmares.”
Think security gaps, unmanaged devices, or lack of visibility… all brought to life in a way that’s unexpected in the AV category. It’s fun, visually striking, and — most importantly — it makes IT leaders stop and think, “That’s exactly the problem we have.”
Supporting assets include engaging videos, social media content, and even collectible posters designed for IT managers — turning the campaign into a talking point both online and in person.
Problem vs Solution
The IT Challenge | The Classic S5 Solution |
Devices left logged in, exposing sensitive data | CommBox Lobby offers secure short logins and access to tools with auto logout and wipe all data after each session |
Inconsistent security policies across multiple screens | Granular admin permissions and settings control for every device |
Time-consuming manual updates | Remote fleet management with centralised app deployment and software updates |
Energy waste from screens left on | Scheduled on/off times for every panel |
Difficulty scaling tech across sites | Simple device cloning and consistent configurations for new screens |
Frequent user requests for personal settings | Personalised home screens and layouts that move with the user |
Poor visibility of fleet health | Central dashboard to monitor status and manage devices anywhere |
Why It Matters
The You’re In Control campaign is more than just marketing. It’s about:
Helping IT decision-makers make informed choices
Giving resellers the tools to have more meaningful conversations
Showing that CommBox understands the daily challenges IT faces
Standing out in a crowded market with content that people remember
When IT managers have security, control, and scale, they can focus on what matters most — delivering great outcomes for their organisation without worrying about what’s happening behind the scenes.
