Case Study: Sustainable Metal Cloud (SMC) & Firmus

Pinpoint PR managed communications for Australian company Firmus in the lead up to their launch of Sustainable Metal Cloud in Singapore.

Context: B2B Data Infrastructure & AI Sector: Publicizing a proprietary immersion-cooling GPU cloud facility to tier-1 international technology and financial news rooms via a curated, on-site media tour.

Core Narrative Asset: Pinpoint PR orchestrated the global positioning campaign for data center operator Firmus and its Sustainable Metal Cloud (SMC) infrastructure. As an official Nvidia partner scaling operations to capture the generative AI server boom, the narrative required technical translation to prove how its proprietary immersion cooling architecture operates 28% cheaper to install than traditional liquid-cooling alternatives while slashing critical infrastructure energy consumption by up to 50%. The agency managed high-level briefing protocols to safely showcase live, operating GPU facilities to international correspondents.

Verifiable Outcome: We attained 147 articles from a single media briefing day across 8 Tier 1 international outlets including Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, and CNA, supporting a USD 800M+ fundraise. From a second media briefing for local media, we attained televised and published reports on Channel NewsAsia (CNA), the Straits Times, The Business Times, Lianhe Zaobao and more. Firmus won Asia Pacific Data Center Project of the Year in 2024, based on a winning award entry that Pinpoint PR developed for them.

Delivered 147 media articles with 10 targeted attendees, securing definitive international features across major global networks including Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, and Channel NewsAsia (CNA).

Case Study: EnterpriseDB (EDB)

Context: Open-Surce Database Management & Financial Services Infrastructure Sector: Spearheading a multi-year pan-regional media education campaign to shift trade narrative comprehension, establishing category authority for an enterprise open-source database provider ahead of rapid cloud transformation cycles.

The Case: In 2017, enterprise technology media outlets across the Asia-Pacific region lacked a foundational understanding of open-source database management systems (DBMS) and relational architectures like PostgreSQL . Faced with widespread media skepticism regarding security compliance and architectural viability, EnterpriseDB (EDB) partnered with Pinpoint PR to build a long-term educational infrastructure from the ground up. Running from 2017 through 2019, the communication roadmap focused heavily on technical narrative translation—bypassing raw feature dumping to detail the concepts of technology "ubiquity and democracy". The content systematically educated premium trade rooms on how modern enterprise open-source layers naturally scale performance, adapt to multi-model architectures, and insulate highly regulated firms from restrictive vendor lock-in .

By deploying technical subject-matter spokespersons—including Chief Technology Officer Marc Linster and co-founder of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group Bruce Momjian—the agency positioned EDB as a trusted advisory partner rather than a software vendor. This pre-crisis positioning built immediate peer-to-peer credibility with enterprise architecture leads and risk officers, framing EDB as the primary framework option for the Financial Services Industry (FSI) across APAC right before market dynamics fundamentally shifted.

Outcome: Established EDB as the absolute foremost enterprise database authority across Asia-Pacific immediately prior to the massive, accelerated cloud infrastructure demands triggered by the pandemic. The foundational narrative work directly catalyzed widespread, high-velocity corporate adoption across regional financial institutions when legacy systems buckled under remote-work transaction loads. The sustained educational campaign delivered prominent, trade media media positioning, feature profiles, and technical Q&As across major regional business and tech titles, including Digital News Asia (DNA) and DigiconAsia.

Case Study: SpaceDC

Context: Green Data Center & Hyperscale Infrastructure Sector: Publicizing the launch of a signature US$1 billion data center campus in Jakarta and executing a comprehensive rebranding narrative from a baseline of zero regional awareness.

Case: Singapore-based operator SpaceDC (formerly known as Polymer Connected) faced a massive commercial positioning challenge when launching its first green data center campus in West Jakarta . Backed by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC, the 1.8-hectare, 26.6MW campus adopt a hyperscale model designed for large, long-term wholesale clients . However, to build trust with enterprise risk officers in a crowded regional architecture, the company had to simultaneously launch its brand identity and prove the viability of its localized engineering innovations. Pinpoint PR engineered a strategic, content-dense campaign centered on technical and environmental differentiation. The core narrative highlighted how the facility overcomes Indonesia's unreliable power grid by using on-site natural gas generators and recycling waste heat through absorption chillers—establishing the site as the first truly green, fault-tolerant Indonesian data center campus . The agency timed the rollout to align with the DCD-Southeast Asia conference in Singapore, driving immediate community engagement around the executive leadership team.

Outcome: Successfully positioned SpaceDC from a brand-new, zero-awareness entity into a leading authority in the Southeast Asian hyperscale data center boom. The campaign secured over 100 media mentions and a dominant regional share of voice, delivering high-impact feature coverage, live TV bookings, and exclusive interviews across premium tier-1 global, national, and trade news networks, including CNBC Asia (Squawk Box), BBC World News (Asia Business Report), The Straits Times, The Business Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Digital News Asia, and Data Center Dynamics (DCD).
