Carter Sullivan is the UK’s leading brand for the planning, installation and maintenance of uninterruptible power supplies, which provide essential back-up electricity in the case of power outages. Filling marketing skills gaps for busy engineers – from content creation to HubSpot implementation.

The challenge

Engineering experts Carter Sullivan lacked the marketing – and marketing automation – skillsets needed to support lead generation, increase sales and grow the business.

Essentially, Carter Sullivan needed a marketing agency that could act as a marketing department – trusted to work near-autonomously, upholding a strong brand reputation built over two decades.

Our response

 

  • We devised quick-win activities – paid search and mini lead-gen campaigns – for instant sales boosts in the short term.
  • Created empathic, persona-attuned content that elevated Carter Sullivan above its competitors, as part of a long-term growth strategy.
  • Reworked the website, UX, content and messaging to make it more cohesive and conversion-friendly.
  • Implemented HubSpot, giving Carter Sullivan full reporting visibility and the ability to identify inefficiencies in their sales pipeline.
  • Launched Carter Sullivan’s new service offering – an industry-first subscription service that demanded genuinely disruptive messaging.

The reaction

“Our marketing was falling by the wayside. With the team in our corner, we have a team we can 100% rely on to manage our marketing function, with minimal input required from us.”
