An international equipment manufacturer for food and non-food industries had implemented ClickDimensions, but was not utilizing its functionality to the fullest. Operating as a mid-sized international marketing team, they needed to expand their current utilization of the tool, and refine strategies for email marketing and deploy campaign automation. The manufacturers’ team had made strides in fostering more strategic marketing decisions and knew their marketing goals, but were unsure of how to do so via an automation platform. Coffee + Dunn was asked to assist the team based on our proven marketing expertise and vast experiences.
Challenge
Coffee + Dunn was asked to help evaluate the client’s current setup of ClickDimensions and provide recommendations of potential growth areas. Full marketing collaboration was required for all business process decisions, as the client’s marketing team is spread internationally.

Annually, the marketing team hosts/attends several events (i.e., tradeshows, seminars, company sponsored events, etc.), which prompted unnecessary manual marketing efforts and inefficiencies in overhead costs. The international manufacturer had used marketing software tools in the passed, but needed to develop longevity in building a sustainable lead to opportunity process via their new automation tool, ClickDimensions.
