In the B2B world, brand building often takes a back seat—overshadowed by sales targets, technical specs, and operational efficiency. But in today’s hyper-connected landscape, a strong brand isn’t just a consumer play—it’s a competitive advantage for B2B businesses too.

This is the story of Global Logistics (GL), a leading supply chain and logistics company that broke the B2B branding stereotype. By investing in a clear, compelling brand identity and aligning it with a strategic vision, GL unlocked exponential digital visibility, industry recognition, and measurable business growth.

From overlooked to unforgettable—this case study explores how a bold brand transformation helped GL go from being known for what they do to being remembered for how they do it.

The Challenge Faced: Establishing a Strong Digital & Industry Presence.

We partnered with Global Logistics in November 2017 to help bring their brand to life online. Despite being a leader in the logistics sector, their digital presence—especially on LinkedIn—didn’t reflect their expertise or industry leadership. At the time, they had just 348 followers.

After aligning on their goals and brand vision, we crafted a strategic brand approach and began managing their LinkedIn presence to execute it. Through consistent storytelling, thought leadership, and engagement, we’ve steadily grown their influence—from digital visibility to real-world impact.

The Brand Strategy: A Comprehensive Transformation

To tackle these challenges head-on, we established key objectives:
Establish a strong and authoritative digital presence
Enhance the company’s reputation as a top employer
Position leadership as industry thought leaders
Boost customer retention and drive business growth

To bring this vision to life, we designed and executed a holistic brand strategy that focused on:

1️ Building a Strong Digital Presence:

Created engaging, insightful content to position Global Logistics as an industry thought leader.
Highlighted key innovations, success stories, and company milestones.
Established a consistent brand voice and identity across digital platforms.

2️ Organic LinkedIn Growth & Community Engagement:

Grew the LinkedIn following organically from 348 to 59,000+ followers.
Leveraged employee advocacy and leadership insights to amplify reach and engagement.
Fostered a thriving community of industry professionals, partners, and potential clients.

3️ Strengthening Employer Branding:

Showcased the company’s work culture, employee success stories, and career opportunities.
Attracted top-tier talent looking to work for a premium, innovation-driven logistics company.
Reduced employee attrition by fostering a strong internal brand and culture.

4️ Elevating Industry Recognition & Thought Leadership:

Directors of Global Logistics became widely recognized at industry networking events.
Company leaders were invited by government bodies to chair key industry panels, further cementing their authority.

5️ Enhancing Customer Trust & Retention:

Improved client perception, with Global Logistics now viewed as a premium, innovative, and technology-driven brand.
Strengthened relationships with existing clients, leading to higher customer retention rates.

The Impact: Real Business Results.

The results of this brand strategy were nothing short of transformational:

Explosive LinkedIn Growth: From 348 to 59,000+ followers, entirely through organic efforts.
50% Year-on-Year Business Growth: As per Global Logistics, the company has experienced a consistent 50% increase in business year over year.

Conclusion: The Impact of a Strong Brand Strategy
