NDE Clarke Pitchline Ltd designs, engineers and manufactures advanced, bespoke power transmissions systems for large scale industrial plants and machinery. I was tasked with developing a coherrent international brand marketing strategy for the company. Due to the unqiue set of core competencies developed over a 40 year history, Pitchline Transmissions Ltd was in a position to offer large industrial plants, OEM and niche manufacturers an opportunity to reduce costs and increase productivity with minimal risk. It was my team's job to increase awareness of this fact and reduce the obstacles between our company and the key decision makers in our target industries. It was my job to lead a small team in conducting market research, developing a website, utilising industry print media and managing exhibition stands at Hannover Messe 2003, SubCon 2004, SeaWork 2009. I worked with the MD, Sales Director and Technical Manager in establishing partnership agreements with two major international power transmision brands. This increased our international exposure and enhanced our brand recognition considerably.
