We are your European
Digital Brand Ambassador
Before, when a company wanted to expand its sales in a foreign market, it simply needed to find a specialized distributor who would distribute its products to its network of retailers to ensure significant revenue.
Unfortunately, today, due to online sales, changes in consumer habits, and increased competition, it is increasingly difficult for a distributor to convince their network to sell an unfamiliar product.
The top-down system (from distributor to consumer) no longer works; traction must come from the market.
But how can you create market traction when you are a foreign company and do not have the advertising budgets of Coca-Cola or Red Bull?
Your brand ambassador will do everything to increase the visibility of your products at the local, regional, national, and/or continental levels.
Their goal is not only to position your products to make them more attractive than those of your competitors but also to maximize their visibility within the constraints of the available budgets.
They will ensure that your international strategy is translated into a relevant local context.
There are two ways to carry out the role of a brand ambassador:
- the first involves hiring a physical representative who will coordinate local communication efforts and use networking to promote your products and services. This approach is suitable for larger companies and B2B products and services.
- The other approach, particularly suited to companies selling consumer goods and those seeking more flexible solutions, is to perform this brand ambassador work digitally, using a mix of SEA (Search Engine Advertising), SEO (Search Engine Optimization), digital advertising, influencer marketing, etc. This is the approach we propose for you.
To save you time, we have established some criteria to quickly identify whether we can be of assistance to you or not:
- Your company is an SME with fewer than 40 employees and/or your in-house marketing team consists of fewer than 5 people. (Our methods have been found to be less suitable for larger organizations.)
- You sell products or software to end consumers (B2C).
- You are facing one of the following four problems:
You already have a distributor in Europe, but you believe they are not selling enough.
Your European e-shop is not achieving satisfactory sales results.
You are not yet present in the European market and want to introduce your products.
Your startup needs to quickly find new customers to survive.
