Background

Platform ROI Fell, So They Changed Course

The company’s products serve the packaging needs of food and chemical industries, such as ketchup, olive oil, honey and sauces, with a focus on Europe and the US.

Like many traditional exporters, it faced a single channel, slow lead conversion and time zones that slowed communication. When ROI on B2B platforms declined, the company decided to build an omnichannel marketing system across multiple platforms.
