Challenge

ASE empowers global businesses to oversee their digital ecosystem with impactful and tailored cloud solutions.

Although the team had established a strong presence in B2B verticals, especially in Sydney, they aspired to expand into comparable sectors, and further geographies.

The sales team, grappling with time constraints, struggled to break free from their daily tasks. Despite ASE’s wealth of experience, credibility, and successful projects, they faced challenges in effectively communicating this externally due to a lack of marketing materials and cohesive messaging.

Additionally, ASE encountered resource constraints hindering their ability to adequately support essential marketing functions.

Without a defined marketing strategy, ASE found themselves lacking direction. This, combined with outdated branding, resulted in a suboptimal market positioning that failed to align with the caliber of clients they aimed to attract.
