We are a South African based marketing agency established in 2008. The founders brought their strong “bricks and mortar” traditional global advertising agency foundation, integrated it with digital marketing and formed a modern marketing media agency.
We identify and proactively pursue opportunities which we pass onto our clients’ sales teams. Using our expertise in strategic marketing, branding, website design, SEO, PPC social media, analytics and more, we turn your objectives and insights into executable strategies that generate sales.
We seamlessly integrate the traditional and digital worlds. We are a modern ad agency that has a strong digital pedigree.
First, we layout and review your strategy. After the strategy has been laid out, we build the missing brand items you need for a marketing and sales campaign. These include any material your sales team needs to enhance their sales capabilities.
Once all branded material has been created and updated, we use the appropriate tools and resources to target the potentials identified in the strategy. We also focus on product awareness campaigns for existing customers.
We have grown market share for companies in the manufacturing, retail, distribution, and services sectors. Some of the companies have gone on to expand their factories, open new branches, build and expand warehouses and successfully targeted customers in regional and global markets.
NASA Engineering (Pty) Ltd is a prime manufacturer and global supplier of quality rock drills and rock drill components. The niche markets targeted are South Africa, SADC, Central Africa, North and South America.
The Brief Summary
Our strategic focus was two-fold, first, present NASA Engineering SA’s proven superior quality as better value for money. We had to change the mindset of a niche market that leans towards buying cheap alternatives. Second, we had to reduce the reliance on a small handful of customers that accounted for the bulk of the sales revenue.
After the strategy was laid out, we built the missing brand items for the marketing and sales teams including professional brochures, wallcharts, website content, videos, professional product photos and more.
The Strategy Summary
After the rebranding, we launched a very targeted global campaign. For the SADC region (Southern Africa) the digital advertising team ran campaigns alongside the sales teams that visited the region. Prospects met the sales teams on the ground and the digital teams “in the air”.
The Results Summary
The combined efforts of our teams have seen them successfully reduce their reliance on a small handful of historical clients who accounted for over 50% of their turnover to less than 10%. There has been a marked increase in turnover for the top end products in the range and an overall increase in revenue. This was all done over three years of concerted effort. They have successfully increased their global market share in the hand-held rock drilling sector.
Our primary focus has been the South African market. We have grown market share for companies in the manufacturing, retail, distribution, and services sectors. Some of the companies have gone on to expand their factories, open new branches, build and expand warehouses and successfully target customers in regional and global markets.
