Dan Laws – Managing Director, Kelway
What did the client need?
Kelway recognised that its Marketing function needed significant development. The growing sales team were looking for strategic direction on the corporate value proposition and messaging and for pro-active utilisation of vendor partnerships with HP, Cisco, IBM and Dell. Positive Momentum was asked to undertake a strategic review of existing capabilities, resources and relationships and to recommend a programme for building a world-class marketing function to pro-actively support the business.
How did it work
Workshops and interviews with senior managers identified a need for greater clarity on the company’s differentiators and competitive positioning, and processes to facilitate strategic marketing programmes. A Marketing Plan was developed and approved. The Marketing Dept. was re-structured and processes for engagement with other functions and partners defined. Campaigns at strategic and tactical levels were created together with strategy for brand building, PR, website and social media.
What did Positive Momentum do?
- Consulted with stakeholders to identify key issues.
- Defined competitive position, corporate value proposition and messages.
- Development of the Marketing team and lead generation campaign creation processes.
- Ongoing management of Marketing Dept. and support transition to new Marketing Director.
What were the results?
Clear, consistent proposition and messaging to the market by all teams and functions, together with greater level of lead generation/relationship building activity. Highly motivated and more effective Marketing Dept that engages pro-actively with sales and vendors. Increased number of leads and new business opportunities generated
