Summary

Modusign is expanding beyond its position as Korea’s leading electronic signature and e-contract platform to establish itself as an AI-powered contract lifecycle management (CLM) company and a key partner for public-sector AX transformation.

With no dedicated PR resources, Modusign had relied primarily on one-off press release distribution. Ahead of its 10th anniversary and the official launch of its CLM solution, Modusign partnered with LinkUp to redefine its brand positioning in the media and communicate its broader vision for growth.

Challenge

Modusign needed to communicate its evolution from Korea’s leading electronic signature company to an AI-powered CLM company, while strengthening its position as a trusted AX partner for the public sector. The company also aimed to use its 10th anniversary as an opportunity to hold a press conference and establish a broader media agenda.

The challenge was to build on Modusign’s strong existing brand awareness while establishing a new identity centered on AI-powered CLM expertise. At the same time, the company needed to extend its credibility beyond its established presence among enterprises and startups and build trust as a public-sector AX partner across legal validity, security, and document reliability.

The 10th anniversary press conference needed to go beyond celebrating past achievements and establish a media agenda around Modusign’s future growth and IPO vision.

  • Expand Leadership in Electronic Signatures into AI-Powered CLM Expertise

  • Build Trust as a Public-Sector AX Partner

  • Connect the 10th Anniversary Momentum to Future Growth and IPO Vision

Strategy

LinkUp reframed Modusign’s communication around a clear evolution: from paper documents to electronic documents, and from electronic signatures to AI-powered contract management.

We led the 10th-anniversary press conference to communicate the mid- to long-term vision, AI technology roadmap, and IPO plan.

A sequence of the Upstage MOU, law-firm partnerships, AI voucher programs, and ISO security certification—alongside CEO and CTO interviews and market data—demonstrated AI CLM and B2B SaaS leadership.
