Introduction

As a company who is a contracted member of a PartnerNow™ Program, you are considered a vital member of our go-to-market strategy. As such, we highly encourage you to drive market awareness of ServiceNow products and solutions to your customers and prospects. To help support your efforts, ServiceNow grants you provisionary permission to extend our brand using marketing messaging, partner program logos, certified icons, and other materials as outlined in your PartnerNow Master Agreement, other ServiceNow agreements and as set forth in this “Guidelines” document and any other applicable usage guidelines. This guide provides the correct usage of all ServiceNow marketing resources available to you and should be considered the “standard” that governs your ServiceNow marketing strategy, content, and delivery through all mediums. Please reference this guide before engaging in any marketing activity that includes mention of ServiceNow, including brand elements, messaging, and so forth.

Key Point sections throughout this guide will highlight topics that may occur frequently in your marketing efforts. Details to support these Key Point topics will be included in the body of the guide.

ServiceNow will conduct regular audits to ensure that all partners remain compliant with this standard. This includes periodic review of your web properties and URL domains, company name, company email domains, company product names, press releases, marketing campaigns and all publically available brochures or other collateral.

ServiceNow Brand

Brand equals reputation. This applies directly to ServiceNow and by extension to all of our partners who represent ServiceNow to customers.

A strong brand is a clear, direct and consistent expression of a company’s unique value, positioning and business strategy. Building and fiercely protecting the value of the ServiceNow brand is our shared responsibility and should be a key consideration throughout your partner marketing strategy.

Brand value exists in the mind of every customer.

Brand value is the intangible sum of thoughts and feelings about a particular company, service or product. Through your partnership with ServiceNow, the quality of your services and reputation is a reflection on the ServiceNow brand to our customers and in the market. Therefore we require strict adherence to our brand guidelines. Violation of these guidelines will put our partnership and business relationship at risk. The obvious representation of our brand is through corporate trademarks and partner program logos. It is also represented through company messaging, tone and voice, social media, press releases, events – throughout the entire marketing mix, which includes both online and offline communication.

Messaging

ServiceNow continues to refine its message to reflect the amazing growth trajectory and evolution of the company and solutions. This is reflected in the updated company description, ServiceNow, the enterprise cloud company. Going beyond IT, ServiceNow is changing the way people work throughout the enterprise. Expect to see this expansive language across all of our messaging this year. The following messaging blocks can be used to describe ServiceNow when used on joint marketing materials.

105 Words ServiceNow is changing the way people work. With a service-orientation toward the activities, tasks and processes that make up day-to-day work life, we help the modern enterprise operate faster and be more scalable than ever before. Customers use our service model to define, structure and automate the flow of work, removing dependencies on email and spreadsheets to transform the delivery and management of services for the enterprise. ServiceNow provides service management for every department in the enterprise including IT, human resources, facilities, field service and more.

Tone and Voice Maintaining a positive tone and ensuring clarity of content will help focus your communication to gain and retain customers. When referencing ServiceNow in all marketing materials delivered through all mediums, please ensure that you maintain a positive tone in your messaging and language. It is detrimental to the value of both ServiceNow or our partners to make negative references of any part of our business, even if your aim is to show dominance over the competition.

When referencing ServiceNow as a solution to solve a customer’s business problem or pain point, emphasize the benefits of a ServiceNow solution. This applies especially when showcasing how your own services, products or solutions integrate or enhance ServiceNow solutions.

Conversely, ensure that you do not inadvertently or by intent diminish ServiceNow in any way, especially when compared with your own services, products or solutions. Our messaging should be complementary and emphasize the value of both solutions to solve a customer’s business problem.

Social Media

Social media has changed the way people communicate. At ServiceNow, we believe it is a valuable tool that we use to grow our business, serve our customers and create community.

Social media is a tremendous resource in four key areas:

1. Listening – It allows us to monitor the relevant conversations going on in the broader community that includes our mutual customers as well as potential customers.

2. Educating – It provides us a way to educate that community on key topics that are relevant to both us and the community.

3. Engaging – It affords us the opportunity to engage in general industry discussions as well as conversations specific to our products with the members of that community.

4. Activating – It creates a vehicle to activate our key advocates within the community to help amplify our voice and extend our reach.

Partners play a critical role in ServiceNow Social Media. Your following and expertise help increase ServiceNow’s ability to reach more customers and extend our brand.

We encourage you to establish and maintain an active profile on the various social channels like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ to realize the full potential these channels bring to your business. At the same time, don’t overextend yourself.

If you are not able to maintain the level of engagement required to be effective in multiple social media channels, pick one that you can and focus your efforts there.

Please reference the Trademark Guidelines section of this document to manage your social media references.

Social Media Tips:

• Leverage your expertise to participate in the ongoing conversations on these channels, but be careful not to be overly aggressive with a sales message.

• Help a customer or prospect solve a problem or think about their problem from a different perspective. That can help establish you as a go-to resource in your area of expertise.

• Follow ServiceNow on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+.

• Follow and engage with customer and employee advocates.

• Share approved ServiceNow content and messages with your network.

• Re-share ServiceNow’s updates on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+.

• Share your own ServiceNow focused case studies, blogs, events, and other assets and content. Remember to @ mention us in your posts.

• Share valuable content that contributes to or starts lively conversations. We want to re-share your high-quality updates, so keep them coming!

• Take plenty of #ServiceNowSelfies and post your favorite photos from past ServiceNow events. Pictures and videos attract more engagement.

• Create eye-catching visuals to support your posts. We love to RT these! Ensure that you tag @ServiceNow.

Post responsibly – partners may also represent the most risk to our mutual brand through inappropriate social media posts shared globally in an instant!

Social Guidelines:

• Adhere to ServiceNow Partner marketing guidelines as well as the ServiceNow Community Code of Conduct first and foremost. Do not share anything on Social Media that may violate these guidelines.

• Do not share any rumors, fictional or non-public, confidential information that has been disclosed to you under NDA. If you don’t know if the information is confidential, please ask your ServiceNow contact to confirm.

• Make sure you have approvals from any mutual customer you may mention or reference if you are disclosing information on their behalf. This includes the sharing of case studies, go-live cake images, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Will ServiceNow post my updates if I send content to your marketing team? A. The best way to get us to share your content is by sharing it first through your own online channels.

To make sure we see any posts that you would like us to share, tag @ServiceNow or #ServiceNow on Twitter. Our partner ecosystem generates quite a bit of content from which we choose select pieces to amplify based on how that content fits into our overall strategy and key messages. These typically will be posts that will help drive engagement within the community as well as posts with eye-catching visuals or quality commentary that are more likely to be shared by others in the community.

Q. How can I engage in the right conversations on Twitter?

A. In addition to watching what those people you are following post, you should use a tool like HootSuite to track relevant conversations by searching for specific hashtags like #ServiceManagement, #ITSM, #ServiceDesk, #ITOM, etc. In your own posts, make sure you are using relevant hashtags, including #ServiceNow, #Know17, #ServiceNowSelfie, #CIO, #TransformIT, #NowForum to catch the attention of the community members following those topics. Participate in live Twitter chats hosted by ServiceNow, or host a Twitter chat of your own. We use the hashtag #TransformIT for our chats, so be sure to follow that to stay aware of upcoming chats. Please let us know if you plan to host a chat that you would like our community to engage in. And if you are interested in the opportunity to co-host a chat with us, please email [email protected].

Q. How can I get access to the content that ServiceNow is sharing?

A. Start by following ServiceNow on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+, as well as the #ServiceNow hashtag on Twitter. Then log in to the ServiceNow Community daily to find new blogs and discussions.

Q. Can I post content from a ServiceNow User Group (SNUG) event that I attend?

A. Be aware that customers who present at SNUGs often do so because these are non-public events open only to their peers and the internal ServiceNow ecosystem. Be sensitive and only publish content from SNUGs that has been pre-approved for public consumption. Do not publish content that is marked ‘confidential’ or falls under NDA.

Q. How do I find the right people to follow?

A. We encourage you to find and follow influential people and brands who frequently engage in conversations that interest your business. To find them, search relevant hashtags like #ServiceNow, #ServiceManagement, #CIO, #ServiceNowSelfie, and #Know17. It’s also important to listen for advocates that are already talking about your brand or ServiceNow online that you may not have been aware of. A simple keyword search on Twitter is a good place to start. Finally, follow publications, journalists, and analysts that may tweet about topics of interest to you.

Co-branded Materials Leverage your ServiceNow Partner Program Logo

As a valued member of one or more of PartnerNow Programs, you are encouraged to use your partner program designation and logo on company and solution information to promote your ServiceNow focused business. Since our partners are often members of more than one program, you may use the appropriate program logo based on the intent and audience of each document. For example, if you are a member of the Sales Partner Program at the Bronze tier or above and you have created a document to drive sales, it is appropriate to use that program logo. Always refer to your partner logo usage guidelines when using your ServiceNow partner program logo.

ServiceNow Logo Placement on Co-branded Materials

On occasion, you may also want to display the corporate logos of some of your other partners or event sponsors on digital media, printed marketing materials, or event signage. We define this as displaying multiple company logos on co-branded materials. If the requirement is to display the ServiceNow corporate logo on the same line as another company’s logo, please follow the direction provided in the Corporate Logo section of this guide. In addition:

• Be sure that all of the logos are visually equal in size • Align the ServiceNow logo horizontally or vertically with other company logos • Make sure there is sufficient clear space and equal distance between the logos and page margins • Whenever possible, put the ServiceNow logo in the lead position

Co-branded Collateral Templates

ServiceNow is currently evaluating a partner co-branded materials strategy. This may include providing a series of templates with placeholders to display your brand alongside your ServiceNow partner program logo designation. Once this strategy is defined and materials are made available, your company will be notified and the information will be added to this guide and made available through the ServiceNow Partner Portal. In the interim, guidelines are in place today to guide your requests for ServiceNow corporate logo co-branding:

• ServiceNow must approve all co-branding requests. Request approval through ServiceNow Partner Portal>Support>Request Approval>ServiceNow logo or brand approval

• Co-branding requests for ServiceNow case studies, eBooks, White Papers and other materials must indicate the parner’s involvement in co-developing that product or solution.

Press Release Guidelines ServiceNow believes that press releases can be a very effective way to communicate a significant or noteworthy milestone.

Depending upon the significance of the announcement, you may also qualify for a quote attributed to a ServiceNow executive (requires pre-approval).

All press releases that mention ServiceNow must be approved before publication. Never use the ServiceNow ticker symbol: NYSE:NOW in your press release.

Sales, Services and Technology partners at the Bronze tier and above are provided a press release template to communicate a new partnership, a program tier upgrade, or other significant event approved for press.

All templates are provided in the Appendix section of each respective PartnerNow Program Guide. Program Guides are made available to all partners via the ServiceNow Partner Portal>Programs page.

The goodwill derived from the use of a ServiceNow trademark inures solely to benefit ServiceNow. ServiceNow is continuing to grow and change, so it may be necessary to update these Guidelines from time to time.

A trademark is generally a word, phrase, symbol, or design, or a combination thereof, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.

A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than goods. Throughout these guidelines, the terms “trademark” and “mark” refer to both trademarks and service marks

A copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States for "original works of authorship", including literary, dramatic, musical, architectural, cartographic, choreographic, pantomimic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural, and audiovisual creations. "Copyright" literally means the right to copy but has come to mean that body of exclusive rights granted by law to copyright owners for protection of their work. ServiceNow, Inc. owns copyright in its logos, website designs and content, videos and other promotional materials, and its proprietary computer code, as well as other works not specified here.
