Branding, Personas, UseCases, Corporate Website Marketing that Accelerates Sales Oniqua Enterprise Systems The Challenge Oniqua optimizes maintenance and operational inventories for mining, energy and transportation companies. Each time Oniqua has a sales opportunity, an array of decision makers are involved. This leads to a long and complicated sales cycle. Oniqua needed an easy-to-navigate website that could communicate effectively with multiple audiences. The Solution MCG created personas for each decision maker involved in Oniqua’s sales cycle. We also identified the situations or “use cases” that would cause each persona to benefit from Oniqua’s services. Using these use cases as a guide, we developed a website that provided specific, targeted benefits for each persona. The Results Oniqua’s website visits soared by 53% and the average time spend on-site jumped 43%. As a direct result of the website’s success, MCG became a trusted marketing partner for Oniqua. We currently assist with a wide range of strategic and tactical services, including marketing program development and tradeshow promotions.

Branding, Personas, UseCases, Corporate Website Marketing that Accelerates Sales I-Behavior The Challenge I-Behavior is in a complicated industry, aggregating shopper purchase data and providing statistical modeling to predict future purchases. They were having a hard time communicating their services in a way that would resonate with potential customers and differentiate them form the competition. The Solution We decided that what I-Behavior really needed was a human touch. From their website, to their marketing materials, to the new products we helped them launch, we refocused the stories I-Behavior told from the technology to the people the technology touched. The Results I-Behavior’s success stories include: a new website that helped the company get noticed and acquired by a large marketing firm; a direct mail piece that exceeded their previous response rate by over 300%; and the successful launch of three new product offerings, including a mobile couponing app. See the website at www.i- behavior.com References Ellen Bossert VP Marketing & Communications 303-228-5021 | ebossert@i-behavior.com

- 24. Marketing that AcceleratesSales Demand Generation, Events, Strategy, Video National CineMedia (NCM) The Challenge NCM is a $650 million company that puts sports, performing arts, concerts and business events on movie screens across the country. They were enjoying a great deal of success with the entertainment side of their business. Unfortunately, getting other businesses to consider the theater as a national event venue was proving to be a daunting task. The Solution MCG identified the industries most likely to use NCM’s theater events, and identified the use cases that would require a national venue like the cinema, (product launches, training, crisis communications, etc.) We created a video to increase awareness. Then MCG followed up with a comprehensive demand generation strategy that included microsites, lead nurturing campaigns and events targeted at specific industries and companies. The Results The Fathom Business Events video has received rave-reviews from both National CineMedia and their clients. This video has been an invaluable resource for both the marketing and sales team, and it is currently featured on the homepage of their website. MCG is currently in the process of completing the first event and microsite. References Yvonne Anderson Senior Marketing Manager 303-792-8674 | yvonne.anderson@ncm.com

- 26. Marketing that AcceleratesSales Branding, Web Questar Energy The Challenge Questar Energy was in desperate need of an identity overhaul. They are a multibillion-dollar natural gas driller, wholesaler and retailer based out of Utah. The problem was that the perception of their brand didn’t fit with the company’s strategic vision for the future. The Solution We gave Questar a whole new identity and helped them write their brand’s story in a way that would speak to their customers. Then we built a visually stunning website that put their new brand to work. The Results The new identity struck the perfect balance between Questar’s traditional look and their new strategic direction. It helped Questar associate their brand with clean energy initiatives without alienating the legacy customers that propelled them to become a multi-billion-dollar business.

- 28. Marketing that AcceleratesSales Demand Generation, Strategy, Web Verio – Websites.com The Challenge Verio is one of MCG’s oldest clients. One of the biggest projects we won with them was the full rebuild of Websites.com. This website is a central portal where small businesses can discuss and collaborate on leveraging websites to build their customer base. The website is available in five languages and has an extremely complex and deep user engagement model. This presented significant hurdles for the MCG development team. The Solution MCG designed a clean, easy-to-use layout and navigation system, and assembled a team of on- and off-shore coders who could quickly develop the sophisticated site. The Results Websites.com currently enjoys traffic as high a 150,000 visitors per month. As a result of MCG’s success, we were selected by Verio to rebuild Whois.net, which supports over 120,000 visitors PER DAY from over 125 different countries.

- 32. Marketing that AcceleratesSales Interactive Video, Sales Enablement Tools New Global Telecom (NGT) The Challenge NGT had recently launched a new indirect channel for their small business VoIP services being sold be Value Added Resellers. Because NGT was an unknown retail brand, and resellers were just learning about NGT’s services, they needed an engaging and easy way to interest and inform prospects. The Solution Because NGT.com is set up largely to service NGT’s wholesale customers, MCG recommended that NGT create a microsite as a one-stop home for the new VoIP service. This microsite, named NGT Digital Voice Hub, would have a unique twist to keep visitors engaged. The Results Brett, this section was cut off on the slide.
