Deliverables

Company Rebrand

With being acquired by DCR Systems Group Inc., our team took the opportunity to bring both brands together with a refreshed logo to revitalize the look of the Vernon brand. We incorporated DCR elements into the brand to add additional authority, revamped & aligned existing marketing materials and showcased a new look to aid campaign creatives.

Website Refresh

As a component of the company rebrand, our team refreshed the Vernon website to complement the new brand look. The new website was updated to a more contemporary feel, existing website copy and CTA was reworked to reflect the new brand image and the integration of DCR branding was updated accordingly.

Marketing Support

To further support their client marketing efforts, our team refreshed and aligned existing marketing materials and supported the ongoing creation of new marketing items.

Social Media

Our digital marketing team supports Vernon’s social media efforts monthly. The social media schedules are developed to reflect their core solution offerings, popular products, and industry topics. Additionally, the Vernon LinkedIn page focuses highly on the sharing of industry articles, trends and topics that are important to the technology industry. Throughout Vernon’s social media management journey, our team maintains a standard level of social media activity and harvests customer data for lead opportunities via LinkedIn Ads.

Email Marketing

Our team produces a monthly newsletter that is delivered to Vernon’s existing clients. The goal of these newsletters is to stay relevant and deliver value propositions that are of interest to their clients. Newsletter content typically includes company updates, solution highlights, industry news/trends and pertinent topics.

AI-Powered Initiatives

Our team has used AI-powered digital ad initiatives to increase awareness of Vernon, by using product-focused, IT support focused and rental support focused display ads. In doing so, we were able to target specific cities and even buildings to increase awareness of core offerings; promote products of consumer interest discovered through SEO/keyword research; focus on a new vertical to expand service reach; explore new opportunities discovered from collected data from the preliminary initiative. 

Digital Marketing – SEO

To strengthen Vernon’s SEO efforts and increase their rank on Google Search, our team has conducted ongoing keyword research and site optimization practices.
