As part of our ongoing marketing initiatives to strengthen Toshiba HDD’s presence in the Australian security and surveillance market, we participated in two industry showcase events, highlighting Toshiba’s role in providing reliable storage solutions for CCTV, security and alarm systems.
Both events provided valuable opportunities to promote Toshiba HDD products directly to security professionals, system integrators, installers and potential business partners.
Our primary marketing objective was to position Toshiba HDD as an essential storage component in modern CCTV and electronic security systems, while increasing brand visibility and generating potential sales opportunities through industry engagement.

The Sydney Build Expo brought together more than 100 exhibitors representing the building, construction, technology and related industries. The exhibition received significant attention, with the NSW Parliamentary Opposition Leader attending and officially opening the event.
Our exhibition stand focused specifically on building security, CCTV surveillance and electronic alarm solutions, demonstrating how modern security technologies can be integrated into commercial and residential developments.
Toshiba HDD was prominently featured as a key storage component within our security solutions. Our promotional activities included:
The exhibition provided Toshiba with exposure to a broad audience beyond traditional IT distribution channels, particularly within the building and construction sectors. By showcasing Toshiba HDD alongside operational security equipment, we reinforced the connection between surveillance system performance and dependable storage infrastructure. The event also created opportunities to introduce Toshiba HDD to potential new customers involved in building security design, installation and system integration.

SecuSafe organised a dedicated open day at its headquarters, inviting selected key installers and industry partners to explore its range of electronic security products and solutions. The event featured CCTV surveillance systems, alarm equipment and other security technologies, providing attendees with an opportunity to examine products and discuss practical installation applications.
Toshiba HDD was positioned front and centre as a critical storage component of CCTV surveillance systems. The showcase focused on the practical application of Toshiba storage technology in security installations, demonstrating its relevance to installers and system integrators. Key promotional activities included:
Unlike a general industry exhibition, the SecuSafe Open Day provided access to a more targeted audience of professional security installers who directly influence product selection and purchasing decisions. Positioning Toshiba HDD within CCTV solutions helped demonstrate its practical value rather than presenting it simply as a standalone hardware product. The event also supported stronger engagement with SecuSafe and its installer network, creating potential opportunities for repeat HDD sales through future CCTV projects.

Both events complemented each other by targeting different levels of the security industry supply chain.
| Marketing Objective | Sydney Build Expo | SecuSafe Open Day |
|---|---|---|
| Brand visibility | Broad industry exposure | Targeted security industry exposure |
| Target audience | Builders, developers, contractors and integrators | Professional CCTV and security installers |
| Toshiba product display | HDD and marketing materials | HDD integrated with CCTV solutions |
| Product positioning | Building security and surveillance storage | CCTV recording and storage |
| Business development | New customer and project opportunities | Installer engagement and potential repeat sales |
| Channel development | Broader market awareness | Strengthening installer relationships |
Building on these two events, we recommend continuing joint promotional activities with security distributors and system integrators. Potential initiatives include:
These initiatives are intended to build on the installer and system-integrator relationships developed at both events, and to keep Toshiba HDD specified within recommended CCTV system configurations.
The Sydney Build Expo and SecuSafe Headquarters Open Day provided two valuable opportunities to promote Toshiba HDD within the Australian electronic security and CCTV surveillance market. The Sydney Build Expo delivered broader market visibility through its large exhibitor base and high-profile official opening, while the SecuSafe Open Day enabled more focused engagement with professional security installers.
Across both events, Toshiba HDD was successfully positioned as an integral storage solution supporting CCTV recording, surveillance reliability and security system performance. These marketing activities contributed to strengthening Toshiba’s brand presence, reinforcing its relevance to the security industry and developing potential business opportunities through established industry channels.
Continued investment in practical product demonstrations and installer-focused engagement will help support Toshiba HDD’s market development and long-term channel growth in Australia.
