Albany, NY (PRWEB) June 14, 2007
Media Logic, a BtoB Magazine "Top 50" marketing agency, today announced that it has partnered with SI Group, the global leader in the production of phenolic resins, to launch the company's new RezExtend™ resin integrated marketing program to the U. S. and Canadian markets.
SI Group selected Media Logic (http://www. mlinc. com/) as its strategic marketing partner to support the launch of the company's RezExtend™ resins, SI Group's new system developed to address the global polychloroprene crisis. Polychloroprene is a critical ingredient used in the formulation of solvent-based contact adhesives. As supplies of polychloroprene are becoming scarce and expensive to source, SI Group's RezExtend™ resins can stretch the supply of polychloroprene by as much as 33% - enabling manufacturers to produce more adhesive with available rubber.
Launched in March 2007, Media Logic's new marketing initiative for SI Group's RezExtend™ resins includes a sales/distributor team support package, trade advertising, direct mail, email, Web landing page (http://www. rezextend. com/index. asp? cid=pr), public relations, trade show support and search marketing. An integrated drive-to-Web communications strategy propels each campaign element to effectively and efficiently deliver SI Group messaging to its target audience and build awareness about RezExtend™ resins, generate new customer leads and educate industry sales representatives and distributors about the benefits of SI Group's revolutionary new solution.
"We selected Media Logic as our marketing partner because we were impressed with their creativity and strategic insight," says Frank Hart, global director, business performance resins decision at SI Group. "SI Group recognized that the RezExtend™ resins marketing campaign lended itself to a new way of thinking and for the first time in our 100-year history, we embarked on a multimedia marketing campaign."
Evidence of Results
Ongoing Web analytics strategies has played an important role in this program's success. Media Logic (http://www. mlinc. com/) tracked conversion rates for each creative element to decipher which media types are driving the most leads and found that print/trade show/word of mouth was most successful, followed by house email and direct mail. To uncover the overall interest level of RezExtendTM resins, Media Logic allowed users to identify the immediacy of their interest and found that over 34% of users have immediate interest in the product. Media Logic identified that over 23% of visitors to SI Group's Web landing page have converted - surpassing internet averages from Marketing Sherpa 2005.
"SI Group is a solutions provider for many manufacturers and Media Logic's strategic experience in industrial manufacturing has been instrumental to ensure we get the RezExtendTM resin message to the right audience," says Hart. "Based on the campaign results after just a few months, we have the potential to grow our business."
