The Brief

Centriforce approached Move to help boost international brand awareness, reposition its offering and strengthen the company’s digital presence. Using our unique “8 Moves of B2B” framework, we developed a marketing strategy to increase brand recognition and elevate market position.

This involved a complete overhaul of the Centriforce website, as well as significant restructuring of the brand’s architecture.

The Solution

After auditing the current position of owned and earned assets, we determined how effectively Centriforce was engaging with its target audience of key decision-makers and B2B buyers. In addition, we identified industry pain points, trends and potential gaps in the market where Centriforce could differentiate its offerings.

Using the data acquired from research analysis, we launched a rebrand that successfully positioned Centriforce as the parent brand and its products as the sub-brands. We created a strategy around each core industry sector, producing content to establish Centriforce as a trusted source of guidance and solutions.

We overhauled their company’s existing brand appearance, modifying its colour palette and expanding their portfolio to develop more human-centric photography and messaging.

After successfully initiating a PPC campaign, we saw a remarkable surge in both impressions and clicks for Google Ads, surpassing the annual target in just six months. The total value of marketing qualified leads generated through Google Ads amounted to an approximate £86,426.53, compared to an ad spend of just £9,808.20.

The Brief

The company approached Move with a view to a comprehensive overhaul of its entire science marketing strategy in order to reposition itself within the highly competitive North American lab equipment marketplace. Delta Scientific needed an expert B2B agency to help the brand evolve and come to life. Ultimately, the task at hand was to create a new marketing strategy to define the way forward. 

This included building a new website with eCommerce functionality and a marketing plan to both help raise brand awareness and drive traffic to the new website.

The Solution

Our first port of call was to lean into our unique “8 moves of B2B” strategic planning framework to understand where the brand was and where it needed to be in terms of engaging with its target audience of key decision makers and B2B buyers. This included market and competitor analysis, as well developing B2B brand and channel strategies that would the development of a fully integrated marketing campaign. 

Move has since completed a rebrand for Delta as well as building a brand new e-commerce website for the company’s 500,000 products and rolling out a range of new digital assets, social channels, web explainers, PR, automated campaigns and other integrated drip-feed marketing activity. The campaign content is reaching an international audience across Canada, the USA and Central America.

The implementation of this international B2B marketing approach has been transformational for Delta Scientific, with the company increasing its employee headcount by 40% since first working with Move.

The Brief

Initially engaging with Goodfellow several years ago, we have taken the company on a journey from being purely product-focused, to putting international marketing at the heart of their business strategy. We began by undertaking market research and a full audit of the company’s position in the global marketplace. This established a baseline from which we produced a multi-year scientific marketing strategy with tangible recommendations on how to increase lead generation, sales and brand awareness amongst the company’s target audience.

Goodfellow

We’ve been working with the company ever since, taking on projects and supporting year-on-year marketing efforts. This has included work on specific side projects, such as the ‘Going greener together’ campaign. This was created to encourage brand awareness surrounding the use of ‘Green materials.’ A sub-brand was required as a starting point, as well as a range of visually impactful materials.

The Solution

Since engaging with Move, Goodfellow has seen a remarkable transformation in terms of how the brand is perceived amongst B2B decision makers in the marketplace. 

Using a carefully defined array of online and offline channels, we have communicated Goodfellow’s messages to key international audiences and B2B buyers in a more consistent manner, establishing brand guidelines for the first time. As our knowledge of the brand has grown, we have increasingly been able to articulate this into more eye-catching and powerful marketing materials, with a range of trade publication adverts providing the ultimate example of this.

We’ve seen huge success on social media, taking the overall company followers number from 127 in 2017 to more than 15,000 in 2021 and activating more than 150,000 engagements. A range of case studies, press releases, web explainers and digital adverts has also been developed to pivot around this increased social media activity.

In recent months, we started taking the company’s thought leadership position to the next level too, by launching an education, STEM-focused blog. This has also accompanied promotion of a dedicated podcast geared around research materials for innovation and both have begun to play a key role in influencing purchase decisions.

With specific sub-campaigns as well as wider brand awareness, we have created an array of traditional and digital content, from brochures to social content and emails as well as science trade show stands all over the world. Long term global B2B marketing campaigns have been built around core “Innovation Solved” and “60 years of facilitating scientific innovation” themes.

For the “Green materials” range the visually appealing brochure was printed on distinctive recycled paper and a web explainer hones in on the key environmental messages. The materials that are available within the campaign were also used within the high-profile DesignJunction exhibition in London, which focused on the discovery of new trends, brands and products on the market. We produced a state of the art “garden of materials” themed stand at the show.

Testimonial

Move has completely transformed our marketing effort. Historically our approach to marketing had been a little reactive – we had worked with the same partners over more than a decade but felt that they were no longer challenging us to achieve the best return from our budget.

We decided to search for an internationally-focused, integrated and full service agency which could give us a strategic baseline as well as a more dynamic and creative approach to our brand. The results so far have been exceptional; although our logo may be the same, the Goodfellow brand sitting behind it is almost unrecognisable after Move helped us re-position and change our approach from purely technical to a healthy balance between technical substance and polished, commercial edge.

The team at Move has helped us not only get more out of the traditional channels we were already using, but has also introduced us to an array of new channels in order to widen our communications efforts, effectively acting as an extension of our own marketing department and playing a vital role in the coordination of our global marketing strategy.
