Background
When Prime Mix Marketing Ltd first partnered with Sutcliffe & Co Insurance Brokers and Mann Broadbent Insurance Brokers, the businesses faced significant marketing challenges. They lacked a clear marketing, PR, or social media strategy and had minimal understanding of how these tools could drive sales.
The company’s image appeared outdated, with old-fashioned design elements, an unprofessional logo, and limited marketing efforts that failed to capture the personality of the owner or the employees.
Key gaps included:
- Press and Social Media: Few press releases, limited blogging, and an almost non-existent social media presence.
- Brand Image: An old-fashioned aesthetic that didn’t resonate with audiences.
- Exhibitions: Unengaging and outdated exhibition stands.
- Targeted Communication: No e-marketing strategy or targeted campaigns.
- Awards and Recognition: No participation in award schemes, limiting local and national brand awareness.
- Community Engagement: Charity and sponsorship activities were under-promoted, missing opportunities to maximise ROI.
With these challenges in mind, Prime Mix Marketing was brought on board to revamp the company’s marketing and communication strategies.
