Find out how we helped industry-leading business intelligence platform Qlik to reach senior decision makers within their target audience.
The business
Qlik (formerly QlikTech) is a SaaS company providing cloud-based business and data integration solutions. Its business intelligence tools help organisations to improve decision-making and solve mission-critical problems.
The challenge
QlikTech was contending with poor brand awareness among its target audiences and insufficient marketing collateral when the company appointed Cognition.
A lack of consistency in the messaging and the relative complexity of the concept meant that even if sales meetings were secured, they happened at too early a stage in the sales process resulting in prolonged sales cycles and a low lead-to-pipeline conversion rate.
The solution
We created function-specific messaging and devised a tactical campaign to build a rapport with board-level representatives through multiple personalised, low-cost touchpoints.
This was supported by extensive PR, the creation of an ‘Inner Circle’ of high value customers and prospects, and the implementation of a digital forum in which users and prospects can meet to discuss the software.
“The campaigns exceeded my expectations in terms of ROI. I would recommend Cognition to anybody looking for a marketing agency.”
