Thought leadership content for the pioneers of automotive video

Services

Thought leadership content 
Hubspot consultancy
Marketing automation

CitNOW pioneered the development of automotive video in 2008, as a means of helping people view cars, without visiting the showroom. Since then, they’ve become one of the biggest B2B technology providers in the automotive industry - with 150+ employees around the globe.

 

In 2019, CitNOW asked ROMI to support them with their marketing automation strategy. Leading on later in the year to a full review of their organisational value proposition. And most recently, a full content strategy and production programme, designed to help cement their position as a market leader in the space, while leading the conversation on key issues for the sector.

What we did

CitNOW always placed a strong emphasis on content as part of its marketing strategy. But previously, content strategy and production was handled mostly in-house. With a full marketing programme also underway and ambitious plans for growth, finding the time to come up with new ideas and produce content consistently was a challenge.

By teaming up with ROMI, CitNOW was able to create compelling content in a much more efficient and agile way - allowing them to focus on running the core marketing programme, while continuing to position themselves as an industry leader.

But perhaps the biggest benefit was the fresh ideas and outside perspectives that ROMI brings. Sharing these ideas as an extension of the CitNOW team, meant that not only was content produced more efficiently, but it was also more relevant and engaging.

This partnership approach proved to be especially valuable as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in early 2020. With the automotive industry thrown into turmoil and dealers forced to close their doors, CitNOW wanted to show as much support as possible by providing helpful advice on how to deal with the circumstances. The ROMI team supported this with a fast turnaround of quality, focused content, regularly moving from initial concept through to final publication in a matter of days - helping CitNOW communicate with their customers when it mattered most.

Simultaneously, ROMI helped CItNOW implement HubSpot Enterprise, a key tool in providing consistent, high-quality, and insightful communication with their customers.

"Our fresh ideas and outside perspective meant that CitNOW's content was more relevant and engaging, and produced more effectively."

“We never wanted our partnership with ROMI to feel like an agency/supplier relationship: we wanted them to become an extension of our team and they’ve fitted in really well. Their quick turnaround with content and their agility was important, especially through COVID-19 where we wanted to show our customer-centric attitude more than ever”

Results

With the help of our fresh perspectives and ability to produce content at scale, CitNOW has not only confirmed their position as a true thought leader in their space, but were also able to help their customers when it mattered most. This represents big success for CitNOW, who, as market leaders in their field, focus heavily on the retention of their client base.

Due to the success of the content, automation and value proposition projects, ROMI have recently been asked to take on a wider role within the marketing programme, acting as an extension of the team to offer support in all areas of marketing execution - a testament to the close working relationship we’ve been able to built over the past 2 years.

“Content is really important to us, and putting together the right content and using it in the right places helps us maintain our position. ROMI has really helped to mould us into new ways of thinking about content and how we approach creating it. The quality, the style and tone of the writing is exactly where we want to position things, too.”
