Kao Collins Emerges on the World Stage with New Website and Integrated Marketing

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
Attracting international audiences in Europe and emerging markets in Asia involved demographic research and understanding search trends. A unique Mandarin-language site hosted in China would reach that desirable market.
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
Keywords are just one small part of an effective search optimization formula, so the website needed technical SEO that would enhance the user experience, including powerful metadata, improved page loading speed, and advanced structured data.
Solutions
The conversion to industrial inkjet printing had begun. A high-performance website was designed, developed, and SEO-optimized to reach high value prospects around the world. Integrated marketing campaigns leveraged the new site to drive exponential growth in new business leads.

Global Access
We launched an ADA-compliant website that was accessible to worldwide audiences and offered clear user pathways for discovering products and services offered by Kao Collins for the major printing technologies.

Integrated Marketing

The Website

Compliance with international web accessibility standards and implementation of best practices helps the site perform remarkably well for search engines when combined with technical SEO. Microsites showcase new brand verticals and grow brand presence in international markets like China.
