Challenge
Tell the story of the company’s innovative existing and new products and services few outside their base of loyal customers knew. Make the brand familiar to the industrial inkjet OEMs, major commercial printers and the packaging industry.
Strategy
High Performance Website
Impatient users abandon slow websites, especially in emerging markets. Fast page loading speeds would be key. The website would also need to adhere to international standards for accessibility and be built to best practices for user experience.
Organic Search Optimization
Since B2B business primarily originates online, keyword research identified the greatest opportunities for improving Organic SEO across the website copy and blog articles.
International Reach
To improve search ranking signals by keeping website visitors engaged, designs needed to be intuitive, informative, and aesthetically pleasing, all while staying true to the brand.
Integrated Marketing
Engage audiences at key touchpoints across the spectrum of digital and offline channels, including integrated campaigns involving social media, email marketing, earned media, experiential events, and trade publication advertising.
Expert Content
Publishing high-quality content through informational blog articles would establish credibility, build the brand’s authority in the industry, and improve site performance and rankings within targeted search results.
Technical SEO
The site’s URL structure and navigation would need to be optimized to help users find what they need faster, which would also help search engines favor the website in search rankings.
