Case Study
Branding and Lead Generation Campaign - Trapeze Networks
An Adventive Marketing specialty is bringing an integrated approach to a new capability in an especially cost-efficient way.
Challenge
To build awareness of Trapeze Network’s unique wired/wireless networking capabilities among its target audiences (Phase 1), and develop a cost-effective lead generation campaign (Phase 2).
Solution
(Phase 1) To help build awareness of the company’s networking solutions, we launched the campaign at a key trade show (with pre-show email blasts, a full page ad in the show directory and two industry publications, and an assortment of show promotions). To achieve extended editorial coverage, we conducted in-person interviews with top editors at the trade show, we pitched and won an exclusive interview with the chief editor/publication in the industry, we received a positive write-up in a key technology e-newsletter, and we placed a full feature article in a targeted publication.
(Phase 2) To generate leads, we developed a webcast/podcast on the technology in collaboration with a key Networking/IT industry portal and promoted it via dedicated emails and e-newsletter sponsorships. The webcast content was also developed into a white paper, which was also promoted on the portal and via online ads, e-mails and e-newsletters on other industry sites. This 3-month campaign yielded 1,214 total sales leads at a cost per qualified lead of $58.69 and 194 “hot” leads for a cost per lead of $367.27.
