After being acquired and before merging with a sister-brand, archive specialist Memnon decided that it needed to address its market position in the media archive industry
There was ill-feeling towards the brand for historial reasons, something that the new ceo wanted to address
Memnon wasn't seen as a brand who could be leant on for industry analysis or interesting commentary
And its quality of work wasn't well known by the industry, as it was seen as a 'factory' for media archive
I developed a market positioning process where we interviewed internal stakeholders within the business, and canvassed journalists and customers about their experience of Memnon
I then held a market positioning session where I presented findings and made recommendations to the team
It was then time to develop the new brand positioning documentation which I presented in a company-wide townhall
We put in place an ongoing social media and media relations programme to ensure the new positioning was communicated in the right way externally
I became counsel to the company's ceo, providing ongoing advice and insight for all of the company's external communications
We refined Memnon's communications and created a consistent brand identity and thought leadership presence.
In the frist 6 months of the PR efforts we put in place after the new positioning, we delivered:
More than 90 pieces of coverage in key industry trade publications
Over 20 media interviews, including at major industry trade shows
Secured more than 10 editorial opportunities for Memnon’s spokespeople,
Successfully built a following for Memnon on LinkedIn, boosting its online presence and generating impactful results.
