Case Study
The Problem
BAE Systems, Inc. is comprised of more than 13,000 employees in the U.S. alone, several hundred of whom serve the U.S. Department of Defense from the Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Holston, TN. As the facility approached its 80th anniversary, the company sought to celebrate the legacy of this facility, the community and the people who make it all run.
The Solution
Sweeney and BAE Systems orchestrated a yearlong celebration that spotlighted Holston’s true heroes – its workers and their families – through video, posters, digital stories and more. Employee engagement and satisfaction are at all-time highs.
Case Study
The Problem
Virginia529 is an independent state agency whose services expanded from making higher education more accessible and affordable for families and individuals, to also helping the public with disability savings and retirement savings. But brand awareness and credibility were low.
The Solution
Sweeney’s thought leadership campaign established CEO Mary Morris as a leading financial investment expert through media and podcast coverage that reached hundreds of millions of state and national consumers.
Case Study
The Problem
CORDURA® is a leading innovator of high-durability fabrics for military and tactical markets in the government, but brand awareness was almost non-existent.
The Solution
Sweeney deployed an integrated marketing campaign to secure 54 major media interviews that generated 5,800 placements resulting in 1.8 billion earned impressions… more than a quarter million website visits… and more than 2,200 sales leads.
Case Study
The Problem
Globalstar began more than 30 years ago as a pioneer in the Low Earth Orbit satellite space. However, the company has continuously evolved with new technologies, products and services, but its brand reputation has not kept up with the change.
The Solution
A brand refresh – including a new look, new positioning, new messaging – and aggressive marketing strategies, are repositioning Globalstar as a leader in the IoT space, changing the way satellite customers, government agencies, businesses, consumers and the media view and engage with Globalstar.
