About The Customer
Gaia, formerly known as Gaiam TV, is a lifestyle media hub that caters to individuals who are focused on promoting the health and growth of their body, mind, and soul. The site offers a variety of channels with programming that ranges from yoga and fitness to alternative perspectives on science. Gaia's primary aim is to provide content that resonates with its audience and promotes a healthy and holistic lifestyle. However, the company was struggling with a content strategy that was overly self-promotional and not effectively engaging its target audience.
The Challenge
Gaia, a lifestyle media hub, was facing a significant challenge with its content strategy. The company's blog was primarily filled with self-promotional posts, which were not resonating with potential customers or engaging the targeted community effectively. This lack of engagement was not generating natural links back to the Gaia website, which was crucial for improving the site's Domain Authority (DA). A low DA was hindering organic traffic to the site, which was negatively impacting Gaia's visibility and potential for growth. The company needed a solution that would not only increase its DA but also foster a deeper connection with its audience and promote organic growth.
The Solution
Inflow, a digital marketing agency, provided a solution to Gaia's challenge by creating a multi-expert interview piece. This piece featured a roundup of popular bloggers from the targeted lifestyle realm, each sharing their daily routine with the central theme of 'Everyday Zen'. This approach allowed the content to resonate with several different audience personas for Gaia, engaging readers on a deeper level than a promotional piece could. The featured bloggers shared the interview article with their regular readers, which resulted in the piece spreading widely across the web. This strategy not only boosted Gaia's DA but also improved their rankings, traffic, and conversions.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.

Smarter Traffic Enforcement: Cameras, Weather Stations, and Speed Limit Signs
The Transport Administration is responsible for Sweden’s infrastructure. They plan the transportation system, decide on building projects, provide maintenance, procure services and are responsible for traffic information. In the early 1990s, the Administration introduced speed cameras, which monitor traffic on certain roads and photograph violations. The problem was that the cameras had to be emptied manually, which led to time-consuming administration and extra travel. The requirements for the new solution were higher: In addition to being connected to the cloud, the requirements for reliability and accessibility were extremely high.
