Award-winning direction of communication for EA Technology’s Electric Nation project
Electric Nation is a project to trial a smart charging solution to help local electricity networks cope with growing numbers of electric vehicles, with partners including NAA member EA Technology together with Western Power Distribution and DriveElectric. The target was to recruit 700 electric vehicle drivers to take part in the project, and this target has been achieved ahead of schedule. In a two week period recently the project was featured on BBC Radio 5 live, Radio Wales, Autocar, Energy World, and it was presented at the UN Climate Change Conference.
Automotive Comms has directed all communication for this three-year project, including elements such as strategy, website, written content, photography, videos and PR. The communication for the project won the NAA’s ‘Marketing Project of the Year’ Award.
Automotive Comms also supports EA Technology, including in areas such as the development of the company’s new website www.eatechnology.com
Marketing support for Force Technology
Automotive Comms has worked with Force Technology to create a professional and strategic marketing approach, which has enabled the company to achieve levels of growth over the last year that far outstrip reasonable expectations for a new business. Marketing tools such as the company’s website www.forcetechnology.co.uk have provided the reassurance that the company has the capability to deliver large orders for springs that need to meet particularly demanding requirements. The company has been elevated from being a volume spring manufacturer to a business that is seen to offer leading expert advice about the design of springs to cope with high performance use and challenging duty cycles. Force Technology is now supplying springs into high profile global clients in sectors such as automotive and heavy diesel, often displacing previous suppliers that have been in business for many years.
Marketing support for Fylde CNC
Fylde CNC, a sub-contract precision CNC machining company, wanted to broaden its customer base and grow the business. Automotive Comms identified that Fylde CNC would benefit from marketing advice and support to help the company make the most of additional opportunities in the automotive industry. The resulting marketing project looked at overall marketing strategy and elements including a new website www.fylde-cnc.co.uk, presentations and brochures. Since the new marketing strategy was implemented, Fylde CNC has enjoyed an increase in sales of over £1.5 million.
Direction of communication for the Northern Automotive Alliance
Automotive Comms carries out a wide range of communication work for the NAA. This includes the writing and production of the NAA’s monthly e-newsletter, communication support for a range of NAA events such as the Annual Awards Dinner, and for other NAA projects such as STRIVE, an AMSCI-funded NAA/Bentley virtual reality design project.
