128 | Growth Marketing: Where ABM and Demand meet
What happens when you perfectly blend ABM and Demand strategies? Growth. Cat Dutton, VP of Global...
NIIT Technologies has an extraordinary track record in helping travel sector organisations to digitally transform. But without the brand profile to match, and digital disruption a key defining characteristic its marketplace, it decided to create some disruption of its own.
The resulting campaign, from Twogether, would not only redefine NIIT's brand, but generate more than $11 million in pipeline leads.
With technologically disruptive market entrants like Uber, Airbnb, and TripAdvisor rapidly redefining the entire travel landscape, the Travel and Transportation (T&T) industry has witnessed enormous change over the last decade or so.
Customer experience (CX) has become an overwhelmingly vital factor, and that has made digital transformation (DX) critical too.
Providing such services to businesses including some of the world’s biggest airlines and airports, NIIT Technologies has a demonstrable heritage in helping travel organisations complete their DX journeys.
Being little known outside its core customer base however, and without a brand presence to match its enviable track record and case-study library, few in NIIT's target audience were aware of the company, and therefore unlikely to see it as a global partner.
A pivotal campaign was needed to remedy that. A brand-driven creative platform to extend the company's global footprint and help it:
- Generate sales-ready leads from key target accounts
- Raise its profile as a credible strategic DX partner for T&T
- Create a platform for brand-driven lead-gen campaigns
Proving that brand- and pipeline-building campaigns needn't be at right angles, Love Disruption drove $11.8 million in qualified lead pipeline and a return on investment of 1:98.
Having proved such a success generating revenue opportunities in the T&T vertical, NIIT is now adopting the Love Disruption campaign across several other marketplaces including, for example, insurance.
We are incredibly pleased with this campaign. Our aim is to use a narrow focus on verticals such as travel and transportation to generate the maximum revenue opportunities.
The fresh campaign theme of Love Disruption really played to our strengths as a digital disruptor for some of the world’s biggest airlines and airports. The integration of powerful creative, a balanced mix of channels and meaningful telemarketing was the perfect storm for success. The result was $11 million in qualified pipeline and there is still more to come. I am excited for the future.
