The current state of sales is in disruption. There are ballooning buyer expectations, more people involved in the buying process and fundamental shifts in workforces and technology. Selling as a profession is evolving, and salespeople need to bring more science to the art of selling. LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a powerful modern selling tool that gives users invaluable insights into their network which can be leveraged to generate new engagement and selling opportunities. Miller Heiman Group are leaders in the sales and service space, offering insights, technology solutions, training and consultancy to sales teams in large organisations. In response to the disruption in the marketplace, LinkedIn and Miller Heiman group teamed up to go to market with a timely thought-leadership piece that showcased their collective knowledge on the topic of modern selling.

THE PROBLEM

A unified voice in a disrupted landscape.

With the market in a state of disruption, there was an opportunity for LinkedIn and Miller Heiman group to step in and own the topic of modern selling. The content’s credibility was raised through their strategic partnering.

Topic ownership with strategy, creativity and brand alignment.

We worked in collaboration with Miller Heiman Group and the content team from Linkedin Sales Navigator to establish a set of items to help bring their insights to life.

THE SOLUTION

We identified the shared passion and pain points across the LinkedIn and Miller Heiman audiences to ensure that content spoke specifically to them.

We also came up with a cleverly co-branded look and feel for the content and campaign that was rolled out on all touch-points across LinkedIn and Miller Heiman Group’s owned and operated channels.

Co-branded Content

By dissecting the style guides for both brands we found a way that they could be positioned side by side on all collateral whilst staying on-brand and true to their unique identities.

A multitude of touchpoints

We created a range of output types, from bite sized chunks of content right through to long form eBooks. As a result, the content was digestible across the vast audiences and platforms that each partner was targeting.

A central content hub

By dissecting the style guides for both brands we found a way that they could be positioned side by side on all collateral whilst staying on-brand and true to their unique identities.

Integrated Campaign

A series of mini animated gifs, 30 sec teaser videos and digital banners led the audiences to the main landing page which hosted the video series, ebooks and infographics.

Campaign to eBook

We created a beautiful downloadable eBook filled with insights targeted to the two companies shared audiences.
