Manufacturing marketing built for a global, technical sale

Industrial manufacturing is a hard place to stand out. Margins are tight, products can be seen as commodities, and buyers are technical and cautious. Supply chains are global and complex, and reshoring, tariffs and trade shifts are redrawing the map.

Most manufacturing agencies are built for a domestic, inbound sale. We are built for the global, technical one: helping you differentiate in a price-driven market, enter new regions, launch or reposition a brand, and turn engineering excellence into commercial advantage.

We know what you make, and who you sell to.

Our difference is context. We are fluent in the industries you serve, energy, maritime, chemicals and semiconductors, so we understand your products, your buyers and your regulatory world. That means we can market industrial automation, advanced materials, components and electronics on their real terms, to formulators, engineers, procurement teams and operators, rather than treating manufacturing as a single generic category.

Proof, not just process.

For Siemens, a single creative idea opened a niche US industrial automation market and persuaded one of the world's most rigorous brands to break its own guidelines, delivering more than 1.1 million impressions, 8,600 clicks and 10x ROI. For Alleima, a global brand programme for an advanced materials manufacturer delivered 988 earned media placements and number one share of voice in Europe and the US. For Ascend Performance Materials, a Houston-based leader in a competitive, niche market, we supplied the brand and positioning that its innovative products and sales force were missing. And for a global power electronics and automation manufacturer, a Southeast Asia demand programme delivered over 13 million impressions at a 5.89% engagement rate.

We will help you build, wherever you build.

Years ago we established fully staffed offices in the world's industrial heartlands so we could take manufacturing clients into new markets. Houston anchors the Americas and US industrial manufacturing, Aberdeen anchors Europe and its engineering and energy supply chains, and Singapore anchors advanced manufacturing across Asia.

Behind them stands the BBN partnership of more than 1,000 B2B practitioners across 66 offices in 32 countries, so our campaigns grab attention globally and land locally.
