Forestry Services

Elevating Forestry Services Ltd with Outsource Digital Marketing’s Comprehensive Digital Strategy

Project Overview

Forestry Services Ltd, a pioneer in sustainable forestry practices, partnered with Outsource Digital Marketing (OSDM) to revolutionise their branding and digital presence. Their goal was to solidify their market leadership and align their online image with their commitment to sustainability and ecological responsibility.

Branding Transformation

Our collaboration began with a robust onboarding process. Our strategy team conducted extensive research to understand the nuances of the forestry industry and emerging sustainability trends. Simultaneously, our design team embarked on a creative journey to develop a comprehensive branding package from scratch, as Forestry Services Ltd lacked a cohesive brand identity that could resonate in the digital age.

Crafting the Brand Identity: Our designers didn’t just follow directions; they acted as pioneers, shaping the future contours of the brand. They vetted and refined various logo concepts, colour palettes, and typography choices in parallel with the strategic framework’s development. This approach ensured that the creative elements were not only ready but also poised for immediate implementation once the strategic foundation was set.

The new brand identity was crafted to be instantly recognisable, incorporating vibrant and earthy tones that captured the essence of forestry and sustainability. The colour palette was meticulously chosen to reflect vitality and environmental stewardship, resonating powerfully with their eco-conscious audience.

Beyond the Basics: We extended the new visual identity across all external communications of Forestry Services Ltd. This included business cards, email signatures, social media banners, brand icons, and merchandise mockups, ensuring brand consistency across every touchpoint. These elements were not merely promotional but served as ambassadors of the brand’s commitment to sustainability, enhancing their digital maturity and readiness for impactful content creation.

Strategic Digital Implementation

Forestry Services Ltd recognised the need for a dynamic digital presence to solidify their leadership in sustainable forestry and partnered with Outsource Digital Marketing for a holistic digital strategy. The goal was not just to compete but to lead in the digital space by integrating robust social media management, Google Ads, SEO enhancements, and effective use of CRM systems.

Social Media Management and Content Creation

Our strategy for social media management was rooted in a deep understanding of the brand’s core values and audience preferences. Leveraging platforms like Instagram, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Google Business Profile, we crafted a bespoke social media strategy that included:

  • Content Production: Delivering three posts per week, enriched with custom graphics, carousels, video animations, and storytelling elements, tailored to engage and inform their audience.
  • Engagement Strategies: Implementing community management practices to foster interactions, manage the brand’s reputation, and build a loyal community. Our efforts led to a significant increase in engagement across platforms.
  • Analytics and Adaptation: Continuous monitoring and reporting on social media performance, ensuring each campaign was optimised for the best results. Analytics helped us refine strategies and achieve a more substantial impact, as evidenced by substantial increases in followers and interactions.

SEO and Google Ads

Simultaneously, our SEO team focused on elevating the brand’s visibility on search engines through a series of targeted campaigns:

  • SEO Audits and Monitoring: Starting with an in-depth analysis of their current SEO positioning, we identified areas for improvement and implemented strategies tailored to enhance their search engine rankings.
  • Keyword Research and Link Building: We conducted critical keyword research to pinpoint terms used by potential customers, coupled with a vigorous link-building campaign to boost their SERP standings.
  • Local and Industry-Specific SEO: Specific strategies were developed for local SEO to boost visibility in relevant local searches and for sectors like crypto and fintech, where competition is fierce.

Our comprehensive approach also included Google Ads campaigns, where we managed custom strategies that included meticulous keyword research, ad creation, and management, driving both awareness and targeted actions.

Adaptation to Zoho CRM

To streamline our efforts and enhance efficiency, we integrated Zoho CRM into our workflow. This tool allowed us to better manage customer relationships, track interactions, and refine marketing strategies based on data-driven insights.
