B2B marketing services for IT, telecom, and manufacturing

Opportunity lies right in the middle of your problems!

Services

Sometimes an organization suddenly needs extra hands on the marketing department. It's often unexpected, and quick action is needed. Looking for an experienced, independent interim manager to help you get things in order? Then get to know IoSono.

We have extensive marketing experience and a rock-solid network, so you can count on the expertise and flexibility you need. IoSono achieves your marketing objectives effectively and within schedule and budget. We're also happy to help you (re)formulate and define your proposition.

Marketing Continuity

IoSono's Marketing Continuity offers IT, telecom, and manufacturing companies structural marketing support without hiring a full-time marketing manager. As a senior B2B marketing advisor and sparring partner, I help executives and sales with positioning, priorities, and commercial opportunities. Subsequently, I handle the execution of content, website management, LinkedIn, video, and campaigns. Personally where it adds value, efficiently remotely where possible.

Content Machine

IoSono’s Content Machine converts knowledge within IT, telecom, and manufacturing companies into a continuous stream of relevant marketing content. As an experienced B2B marketer, I interview executives, sales staff, customers, and specialists, and translate their expertise into case studies, articles, LinkedIn posts, newsletters, web copy, presentations, and short videos. All content aligns with your positioning, target audience, and commercial goals. This makes professional knowledge visible, ensures content supports the sales process, and keeps your organization consistently in the spotlight. From topic selection and planning to editing, production, publication, and reuse: one approach, one point of contact, and largely executed remotely.

Tailored marketing direction

Marketingregie op maat van IoSono geeft IT-, telecom- en maakbedrijven toegang tot een ervaren B2B-marketingmanager zonder een fulltime functie in te vullen. Als strategisch marketingadviseur help ik directie en sales met positionering, proposities, marketingdoelen en prioriteiten. Ik vertaal de gekozen koers naar een praktisch marketingplan, bewaak budget, planning en resultaten en coördineer interne medewerkers, bureaus en leveranciers. Zo ontstaat samenhang tussen marketing en sales, worden middelen doelgericht ingezet en komen plannen daadwerkelijk tot uitvoering. Flexibel inzetbaar, met persoonlijk overleg op locatie en regie grotendeels op afstand.

Who do I work for?

For IT, telecom, and manufacturing companies seeking senior marketing expertise and increased visibility.

For companies that want to structurally improve their marketing.

Especially SMEs with extensive expertise and commercial opportunities, but lacking a full-time senior marketing manager or sufficient internal capacity. This support is suitable for companies where their website, LinkedIn, customer case studies, videos, newsletters, and campaigns are being neglected. Organizations looking to refine their positioning, better connect marketing and sales, or convert internal expertise into relevant content will also find an experienced partner at IoSono. As a senior B2B marketing advisor, I support management, sales, and marketing with advice, sparring, content production, execution, and marketing direction. The collaboration combines on-site consultation with efficient remote execution. This allows your organization to gain senior marketing knowledge and continuity without having to build a complete marketing department itself.

Cases

Experience & projects

Brainport Industries College

Brainport Industries College

Brainport Industries College (BIC) is comparable to a corporate vocational school. BIC was looking for a way to showcase both an up-to-date training offering and its expertise. That goal had to be translated into a modern, user-friendly site. BIC chose IoSono for its team of specialists: a graphic designer, copywriter, web builder, and project manager — a combination that works!

AllSolutions

AllSolutions

AllSolutions is a supplier of integrated online business software. Together with the new management team, IoSono worked on a new vision and the setup of a full-fledged marketing department. Notable marketing initiatives that contributed to the success included: executive dinners, the Connecting Members campaign, a new website, a brand passport, customer days, and the new house style.

Reframe Advies & Training

Reframe Advies & Training

In support of management, marketing, and sales, IoSono contributed as Business Coach to a clear positioning of the Reframe brand, using the “brand passport” approach. The new website was built in collaboration with 2manydots internet agency, Findfactory, and communications agency VeertienElf Media. Reframe is especially proud of its telling company film.

Inergy Analytical Solutions

Inergy Analytical Solutions

Inergy provides solutions for business intelligence, big data, data warehousing, analytics, and data discovery. To secure its position in the market, IoSono supported the marketing department. Using the Golden Circle approach, the corporate identity was redefined. The website was subsequently refreshed and several events were organized, among other things.

SAP Netherlands

SAP Netherlands

For more than 3 years, IoSono fulfilled various roles within SAP Netherlands. We were responsible for several product lines across industries including Business Intelligence, Finance, and Banking. IoSono ran lead generation campaigns for various marketing managers and staff within the marketing department. As a preferred supplier for project management activities within the SAP ecosystem, partners can engage IoSono at a reduced rate.

SAP, T-Mobile, T-Systems, Samsung, Magnus

SAP, T-Mobile, T-Systems, Samsung, Magnus

Commissioned by SAP Netherlands, IoSono worked on lead generation for one of the year's key priorities: Mobility. We came up with a competition and secured the involvement of various partners (T-Mobile, T-Systems, Magnus, and Samsung), managing to grow the original campaign budget fivefold. The campaign didn't go unnoticed — even SAP offices abroad showed a lot of interest. It included an AdWords campaign, telemarketing, films, social media, direct mail, a launch event, an awards evening, giveaways, and workshops.

Altran Netherlands

Altran Netherlands

For the Life Sciences business unit, we carried out a number of assignments focused on lead generation. A simple, affordable yet highly effective direct-mail campaign was a big success. With a letter addressed to the Line of Business manager, we — together with Altran — struck exactly the right chord. The success was so great that Altran had to hire new staff to keep up with the new demand.

TilburgSpint

TilburgSpint

TilburgSpint is an event where sporty residents of Tilburg put their best foot forward for charity. On Sunday, October 12, 2014, the sixth edition of TilburgSpint took place at MIDI Tilburg. From 2:00 to 6:00 PM, 176 dedicated spinners once again delivered an athletic performance for a good cause. This year's proceeds again went to Inloophuis Midden Brabant. IoSono is happy to support this cause — we introduced the event back in 2009 and organize the entire program together with a team of volunteers.

FLOW SIMPLY RUN

FLOW SIMPLY RUN

Flow is the Move, Run and Improve label within the McCoy Group. Flow was looking for support in launching its name and proposition into the market. The first phase (a brainstorming session) has recently been completed, and the website has been translated into Dutch. Phase two is coming up, translating the sales budget into supporting marketing activities. A promising collaboration, still in its early days.

Ben Smit

Director
Ben Smit

Background

Until he was 14, Ben lived in the United States. He completed various programs in logistics, finance, and marketing. From 1990 to 2005, Ben worked as a marketing consultant at an ICT service provider. From 2005 to 2010, he held a similar role as Marketing & Sales Manager at a Microsoft Dynamics Partner. His marketing knowledge and experience, combined with his creative problem-solving skills, laid the foundation for marketing agency IoSono in 2010.

Role

Ben is the driving force behind IoSono, with more than 25 years of experience in marketing and sales. Like no one else, he's able to bring services or products to the attention of the right audience — resulting in greater returns.

Qualities

Motivating, opportunity-spotting, positive, a jack-of-all-trades, creative, commercially minded, and a relationship builder.

Your focus

A good entrepreneur wants to be heard — ideally by their target audience. But not everyone has the budget to go big. We believe in campaigns with focus, because knowing exactly who your audience is and how to reach them is extraordinarily valuable. Focus. Let us help by advising you on your marketing and communication with a fresh perspective and creative dedication. Because a new focus can make all the difference!

Our Focus

Our focus is on your growth ambitions. We're a leading, creative marketing agency with a down-to-earth outlook. That means we always keep the goal in sight, and that goal is usually: growth. More customers, more revenue, more visitors. It's worth pausing on that — you don't want more marketing and communication, you want more results. IoSono specializes in strategy, marketing, advertising, and communication.

Result

We put our heart and soul into our projects and place great value on results. We don't take on projects we don't have — or can't create — the capacity for. We'd rather stick to what we do best: sharing our knowledge and creativity with clients.

Partners

IoSono Interim Marketing regularly works with a fixed team that includes copywriters, designers, and website builders. Collaboration is often the key to success, and IoSono proves it again with every project. From our office in Tilburg, we know how to put together the best teams to get to work for our clients.
