They came to us as a complete start-up but, at the same time, had access to branding and promotional materials from their Chinese manufacturers. (Thanks to Nichole, Ottmar and the team for their assistance so far.)
They needed a website, social media pages, a marketing plan, data mining for leads, an email marketing sequence, text and verbal communication templates, PowerPoint presentations, and – everything.
We agreed to a deal a few days before Christmas and expected a UK visit from the WeiHeng Chinese executive team in the first half of January!
The pressure was on, and it really helped us to realise the amount of work that goes into launching a Startup. Usually, we would take on a web design task, or search engine optimisation, creating a marketing pan and then executing it while still working on the plan was a first – we had no time to wait.
Getting a contract like this a few days before Christmas spoiled some R+R plans for Jason, our MD.
OOTBI managed to hire four new staff members, go live on their website, create business cards, different sales decks, some data mining and more… By the time we came back after New Year!
We completed all the initial work on time, and by the middle of February, we had emailed around 600 potential clients and secured about 20 fresh leads. Due to some SEO and link building, we’re on page one of Google for relevant searches alongside the parent company.
The owners of eCactus Solar UK were so impressed with our work that they offered a directorship to Jason, now Marketing Director. Here’s Jason meeting the executive delegation on their visit.
