This client is one of the most successful and well-respected logistics firms in North America. In pursuit of their ambitious growth goals, they determined that the most logical plan for expansion would be to invest in growing their agent program. They recognized that while many competitors in the industry also had advanced operations and technology, they all had a dated look and feel which gave the opposite impression. Following a full brand refresh and a newly developed, state-of-the-art website, they needed a sound marketing strategy that could support aggressive international expansion.
Proposal
The proposed strategies focused on a comprehensive digital marketing approach to support their agent recruiting program. This included a brand refresh and the development of a new website to modernize the company's image. The marketing strategy was centered around an integrated marketing funnel that utilized programmatic display, targeted Google searches, and social media campaigns. Additionally, the use of lead magnets and email automation played a crucial role in nurturing potential agents and facilitating their recruitment as part of the company's international expansion efforts.
