Barbour ABI: Bringing a 40% MOM increase in uncertain times

 


Stopping customer churn with strategic insight

Barbour ABI, a leader in construction intelligence, faced significant customer churn at the point of renewal as customers tried to save money in an uncertain market. They needed more than a quick-fix campaign. An intensive two-hour Co-Create by SHARP workshop with internal staff helped map out renewal barriers and new campaign messaging. Internal stakeholder and customer interviews, discovery calls, platform demos, and analysis of exit calls followed to provide a deep strategic understanding of the brand and challenge at hand.

 


360 degree creative that turned business around

After consolidating the findings, we solidified a new proposition to position them as an essential partner, ‘We Are Your Multiplier Effect’. This was paired with a three-month communications plan with key messaging recommendations to help them capture and keep customers in their pipeline. Along with a series of tactical and sub-brand campaigns, audience sub-group Co-Create by SHARP workshops and campaigns, a brand film, and B2B content – all reinforcing Barbour ABI’s positioning as a brand that helps customers navigate unpredictable times.
