Objectives
Description
Eloqua engaged BAT to assess and refine their brand position, messaging platform and core brand devices.
Situation
Eloqua defined the marketing-automation space with a first-to-market offering in 2002. By 2007 the category was impacted and fragmented with multiple new entrants offering low and mid-tier price competitive SaaS solutions. Eloqua was in the midst of revamping their offering and needed a new value proposition with stronger messaging to support their efforts.
Engagement
Through customer interviews, Brand Synthesis® and user-testing BAT reinvented the Eloqua brand from the ground up - supporting the global roll-out of a leadership-oriented brand in Q1 of 2009, followed by a complete overhaul of the website and demand generation program.
We delivered a new identity, business systems, tagline, messaging platform, collateral, website, marketing programs and a sales deck.
Results
The new Brand Platform helped Eloqua's marketing team exceed aggressive net-new inquiry and lead targets in 2009, priming the sales pipeline for a robust second half of 2009 and beyond.
Eloqua engaged BAT to design a reference website for lead generation that embraced best practices and harnessed the power of the new brand positioning. BAT created a site that leveraged a complete overhaul of their web content, presenting multiple levels of information from highly segmented video and PDF resources to webinar content and alternative presentation models. The website has exponentially increased lead-gen efforts.
