The Brief

CVE approached us to support the global product launch of an innovative piece of electron beam welding technology – set to revolutionise the sector. The sales process was complex and high-cost — products selling at over £1 million, with six-month build times and 18-month sales cycles. It was critical to highlight the overarching benefits and cost-savings of this transformational product to the right buyers globally.

Solution

Our ‘8 Moves’ marketing strategy – the key first step of our 8 Moves Programme – identified key geographic markets and industry sectors.

Armed with strategy, we executed a comprehensive integrated marketing campaign. The campaign covered more than 20 different channels, seven languages and placement of over 100 trade adverts — with a carefully managed and tracked drip feed of core campaign messages across multiple platforms ensuring consistent visibility where engineers and procurement teams researched capital equipment.

Results

The campaign reached over two million professionals in target markets, ensuring visibility for a complex, high-value product launch.

We also generated 60 qualified global leads — each representing potential £1 million+ equipment sales. For products with 18-month sales cycles, this campaign built a substantial future pipeline that would convert over the following two years.
