Challenge
Simon Data, a leading provider of complex marketing analytics software, faced a significant challenge: how to make their sophisticated platform accessible and more understandable to a broader audience. Their existing marketing materials were filled with technical jargon that made it hard for potential customers to recognize their benefits.
Solution
Taking complex concepts and turning them into easy-to-understand materials is normally undervalued by companies (but not consumers), so we were excited to start plugging away at this one. We proposed a campaign centered around the use of simple shapes to represent complex marketing metrics and processes in order to bridge the gap between the company and a broader audience.
Campaign
Making elaborate marketing concepts digestible through high-quality visuals is always fuel for our imagination. For this campaign, we utilized a funnel to illustrate the customer's journey, with various shapes representing each stage of the funnel (or marketing metric). Circles, squares, and triangles were employed to represent those various marketing metrics, making the process easily recognizable and relatable.
We used simple visuals to represent more intricate elements throughout Simon Data's marketing materials, as seen through the company's website, social media, and sales presentations. In addition to this, the campaign also included a series of blog posts and webinars that delved deeper into these concepts using the same visual language to reinforce understanding.
Results
The campaign was a resounding success. By simplifying complex concepts through the use of easy-to-grasp visuals, we achieved the following:
- Increased User Understanding: Customer satisfaction surveys indicated a significant improvement in understanding the platform's capabilities.
- Boosted Lead Generation: Website traffic and lead generation increased by 28% due to the engaging and informative content.
- Enhanced Brand Perception: The campaign helped position Simon Data as an innovator in the industry known for making complex concepts accessible.
- Improved Sales Conversion Rates: Sales teams reported a noticeable increase in closing deals, attributing the success to the improved understanding of the platform among prospects.
impact
The campaign demonstrated the power that visual storytelling has in helping target audiences grasp complex business concepts. By transforming technical jargon into relatable visuals, Simon Data expanded their customer base while simultaneously positioning itself as a market leader.
