Matandy Steel
Forging a stronger foundation for growth.
Matandy Steel | Hamilton, Ohio
From the time of its founding in 1987, Matandy enjoyed immense success through organic growth. As a result, the leaders of the family-owned and -operated steel service center never needed to intentionally plan for the future or invest in a marketing plan. By early 2020, however, the company’s leadership team realized they could no longer leave their future to chance. The team developed a strategic plan, but they needed assistance with working through the next steps.
THE ASK
- Assist with implementing their strategic plan
- Rally their employees behind their new direction
- Develop a thoughtful external marketing plan
OUR SOLUTION
- Performed a competitor audit and conducted key customer interviews to uncover Matandy’s key differentiators
- Developed a key messaging platform to define the Matandy Experience
- Refreshed the brand identity
- Developed an internal communications plan to improve overall employee engagement and morale
- Crafted an external marketing plan to raise brand awareness
Matandy’s external marketing plan includes a comprehensive email campaign, a direct mail campaign, and social media engagement to win over and keep new and existing customers. Video content, new sales collateral, a website refresh, and direct prospect acquisition tactics rounded out the tools we provided to the Matandy team.
THE OUTCOME
Matandy Steel has forged a stronger foundation on which to build for the future. Their internal team is aligned with the company vision and core values, and employee morale and retention are strong. The external campaign kicked off in early 2021, and the sales team is excited to have new, professional tools that allow them to tell the Matandy story and attract new customers. Matandy posted a strong first quarter in 2021, and the company’s email campaign strategy has already attracted new customers.
