Case Study: Essence achieves secure client communications with Virtru

Virtru Secures Client Communications for Essence

Essence, a global digital advertising agency, needed a reliable way to secure client communications after realizing emails traverse many domains and could expose sensitive client data. After seeing a Virtru demo, Essence adopted Virtru’s email encryption solution — a browser-based extension that works seamlessly with Gmail and G Suite — to protect communications with high-profile clients and maintain trust across its global teams.

Virtru was deployed company-wide with minimal onboarding (70 employees trialed it with only a couple of questions), and Essence reported zero workflow complaints after rollout. By using Virtru’s flexible controls — automatic encryption for sensitive content, message revocation, and disable-forwarding — Essence simplified administrative tasks, protected communications with clients like Google, Walgreens, and Netflix, and created a more open, trust-based environment that lets creativity and collaboration flourish.
