Executive Summary
NuTec Tooling Systems, a contract and design build manufacturer specializing in industrial automation, required an extensive lead generation program to support their long term growth plan. To help them, Bull Moose Marketing started with a Square Deal Strategy to identify opportunities, needs, and tactics before then implementing a comprehensive program that yielded qualified leads and substantial new quotes.Challenges
NuTec had started using digital marketing tactics like social media and email, but without results. They had also invested in a new website, but were not showing up in search engine rankings. Most of the leads they did have to this point came from purchased lists and industry aggregator sites and were too poor in quality to hand over to the sales team. While they had bought into relying on digital marketing for lead generation, NuTec was not sure what direction they needed to go in order to achieve what they knew was possible.How a strategy helped NuTec
A Square Deal Marketing Strategy tied NuTec’s marketing efforts to its specific business goals and then prioritized what tactics would be used and where resources would be focused. The strategy determined the right target audience by doing persona research. This then dictated what content needed to be created, what social media channels to use, and what steps needed to done to improve SEO performance. Finally, a need was identified for marketing automation software to manage and measure the strategic plan.
