Context

The Challenge

Discrete manufacturing accounts had long, multi-layered buying cycles spanning engineering, procurement, finance, and plant operations. Sales and marketing lacked a unified narrative tailored to manufacturing-specific value drivers. Industry content and messaging were not structured for persona and maturity-level personalization. Account progression signals were inconsistent, making prioritization difficult. Engagement needed to align to both corporate and plant-level decision structures.
