Building a holistic online marketing strategy

Crownpeak

Background

The market for digital experience platforms (DXP) has developed rapidly in recent years. Companies are increasingly recognising the need for a seamless and personalised customer experience across channels. This has greatly increased the demand for DXPs.

However, competition in the DXP market is fierce, with a large number of well-known suppliers fighting for market share. One of them is Crownpeak.

Challenge

Crownpeak, a successful digital experience management company, faced a number of challenges after changing its name (formerly e-Spirit). The marketing team had limited resources to cover all the core competences and to build up and implement the necessary online marketing and reporting knowledge. This did not provide sufficient evidence of marketing ROI.

Crownpeak also wanted to establish a holistic content strategy with uniform processes and effective marketing management. It had yet to fully exploit the potential for increasing visibility and improving search engine rankings.

Solution

adesso developed and implemented the following solution to Crownpeak’s challenges:

Social media

adesso provides the Crownpeak marketing team strategic, consultative and operational support in creating holistic social media concepts along the customer journey:

  • Conception of social media campaigns for branding, events, product launches, trade fairs, rebranding, conferences and other marketing objectives
  • Strategy development (content, channel and advertising)
  • Editorial planning in English and German for the US, UK and DACH markets
  • Content creation and management (text, image, video and audio)
Paid media

Strategic consulting and operational implementation of performance marketing campaigns with measurable results:

  • Conception of advertising campaigns for keyword marketing
  • Ongoing implementation and optimisation of online campaigns
  • SEA campaigns for new landing pages
  • Content creation and management (text, image, video and audio)
Search engine optimisation

Professional SEO service and consulting on content and technical topics:

  • Creation of keyword sets, meta data and editing of search engine-relevant texts
  • Website relaunch support after the acquisition
  • Continuous content creation for blog posts, landing pages, product pages and e-books
  • Proofreading, translation services and localisation
Marketing analytics

Strategic and operational implementation of existing tracking using Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Data Studio:

  • Migration support for the upgrade from Google Universal Analytics (GA3) to Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
  • Set-up and optimisation of dashboards in Google Data Studio
  • Creation of a new tracking concept for the website relaunch

By working with adesso, Crownpeak was finally able to define a holistic online marketing strategy, goals and KPIs for the US, UK and DACH markets and implement them with multi-level, multilingual, international campaigns and landing pages:

  • Professionalisation of PPC campaigns to reliably generate leads (LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Ads)
  • Development of a content strategy for all social media channels and target groups, including editorial planning for a consistent brand presence across different platforms
  • Keyword conception and target group-optimised landing pages
  • Support with the design and integration of web tracking, including the conversion from Google Analytics 3 to 4

The acquisition of e-Spirit by US company Crownpeak posed a monumental challenge for adesso, as it suddenly had to work with a new international marketing team under a new management, as well as serve new markets and implement a global orientation after a year of collaboration.


>> We would like to thank the marketing team at Crownpeak for the wonderful opportunity provided by the constant stream of online marketing consulting. Our close collaboration has meant we have always been able to develop and implement customised solutions to achieve our shared digital marketing goals in the best way possible.
