G4S Denmark
Digital transformation
Task
In 2016 G4S – the world’s leading security company – needed help increasing the number of leads to their sales department. Until 2016 G4S had focused more on traditional marketing, namely television spots and print media campaigns. G4S realized, that they wanted to take advantage of the technological trend and adopt the possibilities arisen from the trend. The time had come for a digital transformation.
SOLUTION
A focused digital strategy kickstarted the data collection to G4S. We generated traffic to the website through continually employing digital marketing initiatives.
RESULT
Despite the fact that the media budget was reduced compared to the year before, we increased the quantity of leads with 26 % compared to 2015. In addition, we increased the overall effectiveness of cost-per-lead with 40 %. Thereby, not only reducing cost per lead for G4S but we also managed to provide an increase in the influx of quality leads, which was easier for the sales department to convert to an actual sale.
