Tell me more
Markem-Imaje is a worldwide manufacturer of product identification and traceability equipment, offering a full line of innovative inkjet, thermal transfer, laser, print and apply label systems.
The challenge
Pelican was appointed to raise the profile of Markem-Imaje across Europe in its vertical markets: food & beverage, packaging and extrusion to position it as a market leader and ultimately generate sales of products and services.
The Pelican approach
Pelican produced a suite of filmed case studies, including Foam Extra (see below) and PP Control and Automation, to provide credible endorsements of the products, expertise and customer service Markem-Imaje provides.
Markem Imaje / Foam Extra Case Study
One case study focused on a unique coding challenge faced by the company and highlighted the installation of a bespoke coding solution developed in partnership with Polypipe.
We also put in place a detailed media relations campaign which focussed on securing meaningful editorial coverage for new product launches. We developed a series of case studies based on the contracts Markem Imaje had fulfilled and used these in both editorial features and as stand-alone marketing materials for the sales team.
White papers and industry guides were produced to support key product launches, including food grade inks and laser coders, to help manufacturers comply with new legislation.
One such guide helped manufacturers understand key issues around the use of food-grade ink and examined the complex regulations affecting the use of inks which come into contact with food products. The guides positioned Markem-Imaje as an industry leader and expert in coding solutions across all its target markets.
The results
We have secured extensive coverage in media across all vertical markets which has resulted in a noticeable increase in the volume of in-bound sales enquires for Markem Imaje products.
