The challenge

The problem with marketing engineering

Engineering buyers are expert, sceptical and rarely in a hurry. Generic agency copy loses them in the first paragraph.

Talk to a sector specialist
  1. 01

    Technical propositions

    Products and services need explaining accurately, in the language engineers and specifiers use, without losing the commercial point.

  2. 02

    Several decision makers

    Engineers, project managers and procurement each look for different evidence before a supplier makes the shortlist.

  3. 03

    Long sales cycles

    Buyers are usually most of the way through their research before they get in touch, so content has to do the early selling.

  4. 04

    Niche search demand

    Search volumes are small but valuable. Technical SEO and precise PPC targeting matter more than broad reach.

Our experience

Content that engineers trust

We learn the product, the standards and the customer before we write. Our work with Fire Design Solutions included CPD seminars and educational content that built authority in fire engineering, backed by HubSpot integration and inbound campaigns run over several years.

The same approach works for manufacturers and consultancies: clear service pages, useful technical content, and campaigns aimed at the roles that sign off the order.

  • Technical SEO and service page structure
  • CPD, guides and thought leadership
  • LinkedIn Ads by role and sector
  • HubSpot and CRM integration
