The owner, Jose Moreno, was interested in finding more clients in the industrial sector but lacked the resources to do this on their own. They needed a partner to design and manage an effective marketing campaign to build their pipeline of project opportunities.
Strategic Marketing Campaign & Website Re-Design
When Ascent Consulting designs a strategic marketing campaign, we start with a full assessment of our client's ideal services, customers, market share, geography and more. We then design a campaign to reach the clients goals for growth and/or expansion.
Comprehensive planning and execution helped GEM grow
Ascent began by working with GEM to define the desired outcomes of the strategic marketing campaign. By examining the many aspects of GEM, we designed a customized strategic marketing campaign to connect with and appeal to their ideal clients.

A new SEO-optimized website
After the comprehensive prep work, Ascent crafted a new website that showcased GEM’s project portfolio, expertise, and services, specifically catering to the industrial market sector. All website content was SEO-optimized using keyword tools, programs, and Ascent expertise.
Executing an outgoing marketing campaign
Next, Ascent created multiple email campaigns that highlighted GEM’s electrical experience and service offerings. For additional impact, these services were aligned with the types of projects that perspective clients would typically encounter in their operations.
To compliment the email campaigns, Ascent designed a multi-stage physical mail campaign for GEM’s audience. The mailings were sequenced with the email campaigns, helping to ensure that GEM’s messaging was received by their target audience.
Finding purpose for GEM's social media
Ascent also created and published valuable content on multiple social media platforms for GEM. These posts included industry news, GEM’s ongoing projects, and relevant content that would appeal to their ideal clients.
Confidence and growth with sound analytics
As the marketing campaign launched and went live, Ascent generated monthly analytics reports. Measuring the effectiveness of the campaign, we made adjustments to the strategy, timing, and execution based on real-time data.
Overall, the campaign resulted in a dramatic increase in the volume of project opportunities, both from existing and new clients. This diversified GEM’s revenue stream and expanded their client base.
In the next two years, GEM was able to add several new clients and had secured enough work for a 6-month backlog. The increased demand for their services also allowed them to expand their company and hire the personnel needed to complete their newly acquired projects.
