Insights

Diploma had grown into a FTSE 100 business but its communications platform hadn’t fully caught up. The group needed a digital home, a reporting suite and a sales enablement layer capable of supporting plc expectations, commercial activity and continued growth. It also needed a clearer way to measure the impact and effectiveness of those investments.

We focused on the touchpoints doing most of the day-to-day work - sales enablement, the annual report and the corporate website - and built audience mapping behind them so each channel could work harder and more cohesively.

During the website redesign we made a subtle but decisive shift in positioning, firmly positioning Diploma as the FTSE 100 company it has become, while still allowing portfolio businesses to tell their own stories.

The impact

  • A corporate website designed to support plc needs and corporate development activity

  • A sales enablement tool that scales across portfolio businesses

  • Digital measurement in place to demonstrate the ongoing ROI of the website as a communications platform

  • FTSE 100-appropriate positioning consistently activated across channels

What we delivered

  • Audience mapping across plc, commercial and corporate development needs

  • Digital twin for sales enablement across portfolio businesses

  • Annual report design and production

  • Corporate website redesign and build

  • Ongoing analysis, measurement and audience insight
