The Brief

Foreseeing a challenging year amid the COVID- 19 pandemic, building services consultants, Whitecode, wanted to take the opportunity to raise the profile of the business and increase brand awareness with top-level decision makers in order to future proof their job pipeline.

Not having worked with an agency before, they engaged Fabrick on a three-month trial to see what could be achieved.

The Solution

Fabrick recommended a content-based campaign that primarily focused on digital media and PR. Our strategy was to create ‘top tier’ content drawing on industry news, latest reports and technical information to attract audience sectors such as housebuilders, architects, developers and M&E contractors. Fabrick identified that in order to influence both existing and prospect clients, we needed to ensure these audiences were also aware of Whitecode’s size, range of services and capabilities.

With a recent company management change, Whitecode was keen to build the brand experience within the Building Services environment and to enhance the personality of the business across multi-channel disciplines

During the 3-month trial we generated a series of technical blogs and news articles for placement in trade press and across Whitecode’s digital channels (website and social,) as well as a sequence of feature synopses for future PR placement.

It was evident from the uptake that the content pitched to the targeted magazines, associated with the identified audiences, was relevant and resulted in secured editorial content within the first month. With a digital media offering tied into the trial period, we also identified the pros and cons of their website and suggested content that would boost engagement, e.g. developing the portfolio section of the website to promote experience with key target audiences.

We also produced content for their social channels and utilised the LinkedIn profiles of key team members – they were extremely well connected but hadn’t used LinkedIn for publishing articles or had a plan in terms of strategic posting.

Within 3 months Fabrick achieved:
