You already know that buyers have changed, the sales process has been blown up, and the new business pipelines that will drive modern sales organizations tomorrow will look dramatically different from the past. Is your marketing strategy keeping up? Is it built for what’s next?
Manufacturing marketers are being challenged to do more. Appeal to more buyers. Convert more prospects. Manage more channels. Implement more technology. Manage more complex teams. Navigate a more intricate and rapidly changing marketing and sales landscape. More.
This is what we’ve designed ManuMark™ to help manufacturing marketers navigate.
Manufacturing marketing isn’t B2B marketing. A one-size-fits-all B2B strategy doesn’t work in the niche markets where most B2B manufacturers compete. In this article, Kula co-founder Carman Pirie goes into detail about how serving niches challenges many commonly held B2B marketing and sales assumptions.
ManuMark™ is our strategy-first approach to B2B manufacturer marketing and it’s also the foundational phase of our work with any new manufacturer. At a high level, ManuMark™ includes a complete assessment of an organization’s market niche and brand, a strategic approach to demand generation and niche growth, and how success will be measured and reported.
With the ManuMark™ strategy, we aim to deliver a comprehensive accounting of where your organization is now as well as the path to niche leadership in order to drive niche growth.
This process begins in our earliest conversations with manufacturers, as we begin by assessing account-based revenue competencies and niche orientation through our Niche Navigator™ framework. Niche Navigator™ is a foundational tool for understanding how to compete and win in B2B markets. As niches narrow and numbers of potential customers shrink, this framework clarifies opportunities and helps prioritize the tactics that will be most effective as you carve your path to niche leadership.

In 2019, Sentry Equipment struggled with a traditional sales funnel model. Growth was stagnant, and we needed to engage in a new strategy. So, we explored account-based marketing (ABM) programs. After engaging Kula Partners, they took the time to help us truly understand our business, and together we developed a strategy and a roadmap to implement ABM. Since then, we have successfully launched and scaled several campaigns across multiple vertical markets served, with some achieving an ROI of up to 2800%. KULA’s work was instrumental in making our program successful.
