INDUSTRY — INDUSTRY & B2B

B2B marketing for brands whose product can't be explained in a commercial.

Industrial brands have sales cycles in quarters, not seconds. We build brand work that lands in the RFP moment, the talent market and the quarterly report at the same time.

Work including voestalpine — Snapchat as the key platform for apprentice recruiting.

OUR THESIS

A B2B brand is tested harder in the talent search than in any pitch.

Operating in a tight industrial niche, you often have three audiences at once: procurement, engineering and talent. Brand work has to serve all three — or someone else wins the next senior hire.

INDUSTRY REALITIES
01

Buying centre, not buyer.

Six to twelve people decide. Marketing has to supply material for engineering, procurement, leadership and compliance simultaneously.

02

Sales cycles in quarters.

Click performance is diagnosis here, not success. We measure pipeline contribution and touch sequences, not last-click.

03

Employer brand is product brand.

Without a strong talent brand in a niche, in 5 years you have no product. Engineering recruiting is brand work.

04

Compliance isn't optional.

ESG reports, supply-chain laws, technical claims. Marketing has to work in lockstep with legal and engineering — or expensive corrections follow.

KPIs WE STEER BY
Pipeline-Beitrag (Sourced + Influenced)
How much of the pipeline does marketing touch — directly or assisted? Last-click is a toy.
Sales Cycle Length
When marketing works, cycle time drops. A hard, honest metric.
Bewerbungen pro offener Senior-Stelle
Applications per open senior role. Talent pull as brand KPI. Correlates with brand strength better than awareness studies.
Share of Voice in Trade-Media
Presence where the buying centre researches. Trade media and niche newsletters, not daily press.

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED

Both. A significant share of our practice is industrial B2B — Mittelstand and enterprise in DACH. We know buying-centre mechanics, trade media and technical sales cycles.

With sourced and influenced pipeline and sales-cycle length instead of last-click ROAS. Marketing contribution is attributed in models, not guessed in spreadsheets.

We work with legal and compliance from the start. ESG statements, technical claims and supply-chain assertions are checked before creation, not after.

Yes. Engineering recruiting in a niche is brand work, not a job ad. We build employer-brand architecture for industrial brands.

Your engineering depth is your brand. We make it visible.
