As Thanksgiving approaches, we pause to reflect on the many reasons we’re grateful — and at the top of that list are the people who make what we do possible. To our customers, partners, and friends across the industry: thank you for your trust, collaboration, and continued support. Your partnership drives us to keep improving, innovating, [...]
When the leadership team of a niche manufacturer first looked closely at their marketing, they saw a story that did not match the reality of their business. Their product was versatile, widely adopted across industries, and respected by dealers and OEMs alike. Yet when they stepped back, the way they presented themselves to the market felt [...]
Just as manufacturers schedule preventive maintenance to ensure uptime and performance, forward-thinking industrial brands apply the same discipline to their marketing systems. As budgeting and planning season approaches, fall is the ideal time to evaluate where your marketing stands — and where it needs to evolve. Using the FlexFormula™ framework, here’s how leaders assess readiness for [...]
A manufacturing company had a flagship product with 12 application-specific variations and a strong distribution presence across North America. Dealers, OEMs, and manufacturers moved a steady volume, and on paper, the business looked healthy. But beneath the surface, cracks in their marketing foundation were beginning to show—ones that weren’t immediately visible in sales reports. While the [...]

Despite a healthy investment in marketing at the [...]

For example, a precision parts manufacturer struggled to implement their growth strategy due to unclear priorities and stalled initiatives. We developed a structured action plan with clear milestones, ownership, and timelines, ensuring a seamless [...]
I recently met with the CEO of a mid-sized manufacturing company producing industrial components for the automotive sector. Despite years of building a strong reputation, expanding production, and maintaining solid customer relationships, sales were stagnating, margins were shrinking, and competitors were winning deals that should have been his. He had tried the usual fixes—sales training, pricing [...]
