Sierra Wireless

When Sierra Wireless announced its leading-edge AirLink GX440 4G LTE wireless gateway (AirLink GX440), the marketing team knew they wanted to follow up the launch with an online campaign - not only to sustain excitement levels but also to boost AirLink GX440 brand awareness and to drive sales.

Patrick Sweeney, Director of Marketing and Business Development with Sierra Wireless’ Solutions and Services group, identified a key challenge when it came to driving demand for the new technology. The AirLink GX440 was the first fully rugged-certified gateway to support latest generation LTE high-speed networks, but Sweeney also needed to ensure that Sierra Wireless’ solution partners were aware of the gateway’s other advantages such as mission-critical reliability, flexible expansion options, programmability, and hosted remote management capabilities.

“We wanted to shorten the sales cycle by kick-starting awareness,” says Sweeny, “to do that, the campaign had to attract customers’ interest, address their pain points, and provide education as well as promotion.”

Sierra Wireless’ goals were to increase overall awareness of the new wireless gateway and capture potential sales leads. Smartt added a third goal to the list: to achieve return on investment on the campaign. We recommended an integrated marketing campaign that leveraged a variety of online resources. The centerpiece of the campaign was a customized landing page about the AirLink GX440 and call-to-actions for getting more information or contacting Sierra Wireless sales. To drive traffic to the landing page, Smartt proposed a series of eye-catching animated banner ads to run on display networks, augmented by Adwords on Google and social media sites.

We began with keyword research, but we also monitored results and recommended changes – such as shifting the media spend to sources that produced higher quality click-throughs, and broadening or narrowing the search criteria.

During the six-week campaign period, Sierra Wireless saw an increase of approximately 50% in contacts from on-line lead forms, a definite indicator that the campaign was delivering results.

“More importantly,” Sweeney notes, “in the months following the campaign, we saw a nice spike in AirLink GX440 sales. We definitely link that to the campaign’s contribution to driving interest, awareness and sales.”

Their Managing Director, Ben Batt, was originally seeking an agency with the technical expertise to drive more traffic to their website through SEO and SEM, but saw value in a more holistic approach after engaging Smartt.

“We were first seeking an agency with the technical expertise to drive more traffic to our website through SEO and SEM,” says Batt, “and many of the companies that we spoke with were SEO/SEM specialists that provided some marketing insight. Through the process of looking at various proposals, I realized that we were not only looking for a company that had the technical expertise, but one that could provide us with guidance on launching successful campaigns based on iterative data and experience. Also, [Smartt’s] pricing structure was straight forward and easy to understand."

To help KEY generate measurable results, Smartt followed its principles of picking the right activities and doing them right. A market analysis was conducted to understand KEY’s customers and unravel opportunities in the local market that would help KEY edge over its competitors. Tactics, recommendations, and campaign ideas were carefully chosen using the Smartt P.A.C.E. Digital Marketing Framework and then executed using Smartt’s cross-functional team. Campaigns targeting both English and Asian language audiences were launched and optimized to bring business results. Regular meetings were held to review results and explore cross-disciplinary recommendations from website changes to brand positioning and technology integration.

KEY witnessed an increase in the number of new students and inquiries about the educational firm’s services through phone calls and website form submissions as a result of the digital marketing campaigns. The firm also saw an incredible uplift in website performance particularly with its overall website, direct, and organic traffic and organic ranking.

Marketing results:

  • 1,103.09% increase in overall website traffic

  • 134.19% increase in organic traffic

  • 44.55% increase in direct traffic

  • Overall increase in new students and inquiries about KEY’s services

But to KEY’s leadership team, the hard metrics are only a part of the value Smartt delivers every month as a digital partner.

 

“There are several enjoyable things about working with Smartt from the great people who work there, to their rapid response time, to the way that they have taken the time to really understand our customers.” Batt explains. “They are proactive in their approach and are focused on achieving results. They consistently go above and beyond for their clients and are meticulous about the details; those qualities in particular resonated with us as we approach our business in the same way.

In recent years, the company has expanded their offerings to include a variety of healthy and tasty poultry products including organic chicken, Taiwan chicken, Peking duck, and a range of ready to eat options. As part of an initiative to increase digital brand awareness among the Asian population, they decided to search for an agency that’s well-versed in Asian digital marketing.

“We chose SMARTT because they studied our company and products and took time to discuss with us, the client, about our needs and targets before they presented the project proposal,” says Joanne Huang, Sales & Marketing Manager, “with such preparation, the proposal was realistic and practical based on our project timeline and budget.  This made us believe that they would do a good job executing the proposed campaigns.  The sincerity and professionalism that they have shown at the project proposal stage are what made us choose them.”

SMARTT used its P.A.C.E. Digital Marketing Framework to create brand awareness and drive foot traffic to Fraser Valley Special Poultry’s retail partners. Specific geographic and demographics segments were chosen based on buyer persona’s. A multi-channel approach was used across Google, Facebook, and YouTube to ensure the brand would stay top-of-mind for potential customers.  

The multi-channel approach created great results based on the numbers of impressions, clicks, and views. Product sales also increased during the campaign periods.  At Fraser Valley Special Poultry’s supermarket promo events, customers would tell them that they knew the events from their online ads.  

  • 2,024.44% increase in overall website traffic

  • 26.42% increase in organic traffic

  • 128.57% increase in direct traffic

  • Increased product sales

 

"We enjoyed working with the team at SMARTT because they executed the campaigns with great project management skills and delivered results that met our expectations.  They were practical and efficient and always communicated with us before they took the next steps,” says Huang, “Our Account Manager did a good job explaining the pros and cons of different options that we could have for rolling out activities.  This was extremely helpful for us for making decisions.  It’s been a pleasant experience working with SMARTT."
