Armoloy

Armoloy Corporation, a pioneer in precision coatings since 1957, provides a gold standard in surface coatings ranging from Thin Dense Chrome to Nickle-Teflon within a variety of industries ranging from nuclear power & aviation to food manufacturing.

Situation

Armoloy Corporation’s growth strategy included a two-pronged approach – increase market share in the current footprint and target additional segments to drive growth. Further, the solution needed to be modularized enough to be able to replicate across other locations of the company.

Solution

StratMg worked closely with the Executive Staff to create a quantifiable proof-of-concept that would unambiguously map marketing investment dollars to a sales pipeline. This proof-of-concept served two purposes – first, it would validate the growth strategy and second, it would enable the company to ‘test the waters’ of Account Based Marketing prior to a significant commitment in time, resources and budget.

StratMg took a structured and agile approach to the overall project –

          • Create a storyboard to educate the prospects on the value proposition of the service offering within the context of their respective challenges thus building a relationship as a trusted partner not a vendor.
