reach my business objectives.”
Group Marketing Manager, Microsoft
11. Campaign & Launch:
Digital Asset & Content Management Solution
Multi-national video game console manufacturer
recognized they needed a “best in class” digital asset
management solution.
Simplicity successfully implemented the right
solution to ensure the collection of more than 2,000
assets from internal and external parties, a robust
tracking mechanism and an iron-clad approval
process for all the channels to adhere to.
Client success: the team was able to track and
manage thousands of assets leading up, during and
post-launch, while also producing dozens of custom
media spots featured in the product’s final release.
12. “Simplicity understands my business and
can find me the right talent to help my
team achieve our marketing goals with very
little direction.”
Sr. Marketing Manager, Amazon Web Services
13. Communications:
Implementing High Quality, Cost Effective Customer Evidence
Programs
A leading Cloud Computing company located in the Pacific
Northwest, had a hefty task: to create more than 100 case
studies, customer testimonials, and several white papers, in
less than 7 months.
The company had previously used a traditional marketing
firm however, after careful evaluation, decided to look for a
better way: they turned to Simplicity Consulting.
Client Success: Simplicity’s program is now the standard
practice for the entire department. Simplicity is saving the
client $5,000 every month on agency fees (or $60k
annually), and the quality bar of the content has dramatically
increased.
14. “I am always impressed by the caliber of
talent that Simplicity sends me when I have
a gap to fill in my organization. Their
talent is hands down the best I’ve seen.”
Program Manager, Microsoft
15. Sales & Channel Programs:
Driving Partner Adoption Through Localized
Sales Channel Program.
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Division of a global
software company was in search of a proven method for driving
broad, web-based demand generation with and through the OEM
Channel in order to engage customers via partner websites with
syndicated and highly targeted content.
Client success: Simplicity’s sales channel program helped the
division drive 34% more revenue per quarter. By working persistently
with the field teams, and through the localization efforts, Simplicity
enabled “critical adoption” with 1,200 partners. This number is
expected to double in 2014, while the program is fast becoming a
critical hub of marketing execution across the division.
