Reference Accounts
- MSC
- Targeting a niche affords protection from competitors who want
bigger markets. There is a downside however if the niche begins to
decline in size or visibility. To target new industrial supplies
markets and develop new products, careful consideration was given to
existing channels of distribution, brand identity, competitive threats
and user needs. The work identified the largest, fastest growing
market opportunities as well as products and distribution channels and
advertising plans to reach them.
- Sony
- Technology for flat panel displays improved and there was a market
opportunity for manufacturing equipment to make larger size panels.
Working with several trade associations and worldwide industry
leaders, we defined the needs for the manufacturing equipment. The end
result was a design specification for price, throughput, mean time
between failure, particle levels and materials handling capabilities
among other things. As marketing liaison to engineering, a
manufacturing cost and development timetable was established, along
with publicity and marketing plans.
