At Brunson, I am particularly proud of the results of a sustained brand marketing campaign--delivering a 15% increase in order value YOY. Here's what we did.Brunson is a 97 year-old company operating in a narrow niche of aerospace production. The company's new product pipeline had been quiet for some time, and company revenue was flat. A large percentage of the customer base--aerospace engineers--was retiring; the next generation did not have strong name recognition for Brunson. Signs of competitive pressures and decaying market share were looming.How would we continue to keep the brand relevant? How can we maintain or increase awareness despite the lack of new products to tout? The correct answers would be unlocked in the tactics of the branding campaign. Science, philanthropy, targeted education, honoring our customers and an unforgettable brand-attribute became critical to the success of the campaign.And, consistency: communicating dynamic, relevant, and authentic branded information every day, every week, every weekend, whenever possible. The Branding Case Study below provides more details, but the bottom-line results are clear: 15.4% increase in order $ volume YOY.
