Challenge

Champion Equipment Company (CEC) is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of custom foundation drilling tools and equipment. The company also represents the industry’s top drilling rig manufacturer through Champion Equipment Sales (CES).

IMW was brought on to better define the brand, develop a cohesive marketing strategy that drives leads, and position Champion as an innovator in the industry.

Insight

Through CEC and CES, the companies engineer, manufacture, and support the world’s most advanced and innovative equipment solutions for the foundation drilling industry. The result is an unmatched track record of solving the industry’s toughest problems.

Champion’s messaging and advertising did not reflect this innovation and customization. It was important to have Champion stand out and reinforce that the tools they build and rigs they represent are the most innovative, durable and effective in the industry. The goal of the communication and outreach program is to continue to drive website traffic and generate qualified leads.

Results

IMW established a brand voice and creative platform that drove traffic and generated leads through trade advertising (print & digital), industry PR, e-blasts, PPC, and website design/updates.
