One
particular client, a large, international company, had
it's own in-house marketing team and were loathe to out-source,
through pride in their already very good results.
However, as it happens and perhaps luckily, (the harder
we work, the luckier we seem to get) we had a friendly
contact within the company. One of its directors had been
our client for some years, we had helped his own company
grow in stature until the larger company he now helped
to lead was forced to buy him out. He set a challenge
to us - and to their own in-house marketing team. We were
to show his fellow directors what we could do to increase
sales, in competition with their in-house team within
just the UK market.
Identifying the problems with their current campaign
took some analysis. This involved, amongst other issues,
an appraisal of their current internet marketing strategy
and factors which we will not divulge here.
Within a couple of weeks, we were ready to launch our
own campaign, building on the knowledge gained in mounting
various others over the years.
It took a mere 2 days for them to realise that our campaign
was already outstripping their own in terms of increased
sales.
The final analysis showed:
Next? We roll out to several European countries and then,
the world.
