Challenge
After a two-year marketing hiatus, the company came to us unsure how to build a marketing department and unaware of what it needed to scale to the next level. There were no systems or checks and balances on what was being pushed to clients.
Solution
Out & About Communications took an integrative marketing approach. We fully embedded our team into the company to help support strategic growth.
Deliverables
- Position and Marketing Strategy: We worked with leadership to reposition the brand to become more competitive and aligned marketing strategic efforts and calendaring to meet these objectives.
- Website Redesign: We redesigned the website to level up against the competition.
- Rebrand: We refreshed the brand aesthetic to play in the marketplace and be more competitive.
- Webinars and Seminars: We managed all communications for regular webinars and seminars, aligning our efforts and cadences with the sales team's needs.
- Cross-Department Marketing Communications: We supported marketing across departments to push communications to select audiences for campaigns, training, surveys, routine and emergency notices, website updates, and more.
- Collateral: We created key pieces of collateral for prospecting efforts.
- Social Media and PR: We managed all social media content to promote sales, new hires, company culture, and testimonials.
- COI Campaign: We supported a COI campaign and event planning to nurture warm referral relationships.
- Recruitment and Retention: We worked with HR to recruit new employees via marketing, assembled an onboarding deck, provided marketing training and onboarding for new hires, and more.
Results
The company grew 20% year-over-year. Our engagement started with ~30 employees at the company and grew to over 165+ employees. The sales team grew from ~5 to 20+ employees. Marketing systems, training, and processes were put into place. Regular cadences, campaigns, and more were put into place to scale. We navigated COVID, extensive growth cycles, and rapid changes together.
