Relaunching into the market with a new identity ​

In order to achieve Mina’s goals, there would be no short route to success. Our work was broken down into a series of stages.

Relaunching into the market with a new identity
To realise the refined vision and ambitious goals that Mina had initially set out to achieve, we helped develop a focussed launch strategy which involved:

Developing a growth focussed marketing strategy
Creating detailed customer personas, which helped Mina better understand their audience
Developing a clear messaging strategy and hierarchy of messages
Collaborating with Mina’s graphic designer Andrew Seabourne to define a new brand name and refine the creative development of the new Mina brand
In addition to this ongoing work, we also supported the development of Mina’s initial website. Project managing the process with their external developers, writing the website copy and providing strategic consultancy to prepare the website for performance marketing – with sophisticated tracking established to measure real results.

Setting the foundations for business growth ​

We developed a multichannel approach to help Mina to build awareness, drive leads and better engage their community.
This involved:

Devising advertising strategies across several platforms, including:

  • LinkedIn and Facebook ads
  • Paid and organic search
  • Remarketing

 

Educating the Audience:

Publishing a series of regular blog and video content to educate the audience, position Mina as a thought leader in the sector, generate engagement and build trust within their market.

Opening up the conversation:

Launching social media accounts to open up the conversation with their audience and share regular, authentic and original content.

Keeping in touch:

Launching regular email newsletters to engage Mina’s customers and prospects. This sought to keep the brand at the front of the audience’s mind and to drive valuable website traffic.

Supporting the customer journey:

Launching a series of email sequences that supported the customer journey. These were designed to help convert prospects and onboard new customers.

Conversion rate optimisation:

By providing ongoing recommendations and updates, we continually improved website conversion. This included a regular process of reviewing the advertising strategy and website to continually improve performance.

Working collaboratively to drive rapid growth

With Mina launching a new growth project to drive momentum through weekly growth tests, a more responsive approach to our working relationship was required. We evolved our approach to work even more collaboratively with Mina to drive the rapid growth of the business through a process of regular growth tests, including:

  • Website Conversion Rate
  • Optimisation
  • Messaging Tests
  • Advertising Tests
  • Strategic marketing ideas

We now meet weekly to discuss results, implement new tests and prioritise the backlog. This has resulted in a rapid improvement across all metrics, including:

  • Lead generation
  • Conversion rate
  • Bounce rate reduction
  • Ad Performance

The Outcome

By working collaboratively as Mina’s marketing partners over the last year, Mike Pye + Co were able to successfully go the extra mile and support their impressive journey so far. Key outcomes have included:

  • Establishing a strong Mina brand across all channels
  • Generating thousands of targeted visitors to their website
  • Improving conversion throughout all stages of the sales funnel
  • Developing powerful ad campaigns through continual improvement
  • Significantly increasing lead generation and reducing cost per acquisition

From day one it was obvious that Mike and his team deeply cared about our business and our success. Working with them was a pleasure, nothing was too much trouble and they helped us to build a brand, website with content and digital advertising function from scratch. We had regular reviews to make sure that things were on track, and the breadth of skills in Mike’s extended team meant that there was a solution for every requirement.
