Leveraging Content Strategy for Organic Growth in Tooling and Machinery
Overview I worked with a leading manufacturer specializing in tooling and machinery set out to elevate its brand presence and establish itself as a thought leader in the industry. By leveraging the expertise of SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) in engineering, the company embarked on a strategic journey to create a content-rich ecosystem that resonated with its target audience.
Challenge The tooling and machinery industry often faces complex challenges that require innovative solutions at different stages of production. The manufacturer sought to address these challenges by creating value-driven content that would engage, inform, and attract their target audience. Their goal was to achieve steady, organic growth in followers and build a loyal, engaged community.
Solution - Content Strategy & Tactics with a Measurable ROI. It is what I do!
Blog Series: Tech Tips for Success Collaborating with engineering SMEs, we developed a compelling series of blogs focused on solution-oriented, problem-solving Tech Tips. These blogs addressed common industry pain points and provided actionable insights for professionals in the field. The relatable and practical content quickly gained traction, positioning the company as a go-to resource for technical expertise.
Webinars: Partnering for Industry Success Building on the momentum of the blog series, the company launched a series of webinars tackling prevalent industry challenges. The webinars showcased the company’s unique approach to partnering with clients—not just for tooling solutions but also for training and long-term success. These sessions fostered deeper engagement and strengthened the company’s reputation as an industry collaborator.
Survey-Informed Content Development To ensure the content resonated with its audience, the company utilized survey questions to gather insights into the challenges and interests of their target market. This data-driven approach enabled the creation of highly relevant content that aligned with audience needs and expectations.

Steady, organic growth in followers across multiple channels.
