Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce
Creative and media agency · New York, NY
SCDP is a contemporary creative and media agency handling major CPG and tech accounts. A new CPG win in March competes directly with two existing SCDP clients, creating an immediate internal forcing function: the existing clients are watching how SCDP handles the data wall. Pete Campbell attended a martech conference in February focused on data clean rooms. Don Draper recently published an op-ed calling client data isolation "agency table stakes." The window for a credible answer is now.

Buying Committee
| Contact | Role | Involvement |
|---|
| Pete Campbell | Head of Accounts | Primary buyer. Owns client retention. Lost two pitches in the past year where the competitor cited data segregation as a differentiator. |
| Joan Holloway | COO | Operational and security approval. Will stress-test the implementation against the agency's workflow before signing off. |
| Roger Sterling | Senior Partner | Final budget approval. Will not be in the technical conversation but responds to revenue-risk framing. |
| Don Draper | Creative Director | Influence-only. If Don likes a tool because it removes friction from the creative process, it moves faster through the organization. |
Pete Campbell
Head of Accounts, Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce
Account leader with direct revenue accountability. Recent visible losses tied to data segregation concerns from prospective clients. Personally motivated to walk into the next major pitch with a credible answer. The entry conversation should be framed around the upcoming pitch cycle, not the technology itself.
Why SCDP Should Consider Lumon
SCDP is in a moment where data segregation has moved from background hygiene to active sales objection. The new CPG win creates an internal forcing function: the existing clients that compete with that account are watching how SCDP handles the wall. Lumon's severed workspace architecture is built for exactly this, and the architecture itself becomes a differentiator the agency can name in pitch decks. For an agency competing for accounts in regulated or competitive verticals, the answer to "how do you handle our data?" is increasingly the answer that wins the business.

Subject: The agency-side answer to competitive client walls
Pete,
Saw the new CPG win this quarter, and the LinkedIn post from the martech event in February about clean rooms. Pretty clear what you're working through.
The thing most agency operations leaders run into is that the technical answer (severed workspaces, role-based access, audit trails) is straightforward. The hard part is having something to walk into a pitch with that the prospective client's procurement team will accept without three weeks of security review.
Lumon is built for exactly this. The architecture is the differentiator the agency can name in the pitch deck. We work with two other agencies in the top 25 who use it specifically as a deal-closer for accounts in regulated or competitive verticals.
Worth 25 minutes? Happy to bring the conversation framed against your next pitch cycle rather than against a generic feature set.
