Content is the glue that keeps this brand front of mind with it’s partners

How does a printer brand stay front of mind with the retailers who sell their products?
BRAND & BRAND COMMUNICATION | CONTENT & SOCIAL
Content Strategy, Content Curation, eDM

In 2015 Hewlett-Packard made headlines when it split its global business into two smaller publicly traded companies: Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and HP.

With over 250 partners in Australia who sell and distribute their products, along with a database of 8,000+ people, HP needed to find a new way to engage their partners, keeping them up to date on products and inspired to recommend them to customers.

THE PROBLEM
The bi-monthly newsletter was “bland, corporate & hard to read”.
Previous attempts to engage the partners with a bi-monthly email had failed.
How could HP keep the attention of their partners?
They wanted content that was true to who they are today.
HP challenged us to re-vamp their partner content offering to reflect a dynamic, modern and agile new business culture.
THE SOLUTION
Goodbye lame newsletter.
Hello fresh new look.
We designed a slick new bi-monthly eDM that was a world apart from previous incarnations. The clean, fresh design heroed our engaging and digestible content.

Content Strategy

We audited HP’s Partner content, curated stories and developed a new style for the copy, imagery and headlines. The new newsletter focused on providing valuable and helpful relevant information to HP partners, rather than bombarding them with sales messaging.
Design & User Experience
The clean, fresh, easy to read new design spoke for itself. Bolder, hero images were more pleasing on the eye than the previous cluttered style. Clearer CTAs drove greater engagement and increased negative space gave the content room to breathe and improved legibility.

Optimisation 

HP’s first newly improved eDM included an article on HP workstations in space, and thanks to our editing and positioning the article became their top ranked story, receiving numerous social media shares.

THE RESULTS
eDM Open Rates
With BlueMelon’s help, the eDM open rates skyrocketed to an incredible…
