Launching a gear drive manufacturer into six new industries

Evolving Visual ID

Philadelphia Gear, a 130-year-old manufacturing and service provider of mission-critical gear drives, had strong brand recognition in power and plant services. But their name was far less known in four key growth markets: hydroelectric, flood control, mining, and engineering procurement. Despite their legacy, they needed a bold, fast-moving introduction to new industries — without losing momentum in the core verticals that trusted them most.

Big Results

As CD, I led the development of a bold, cross-channel campaign targeting decision-makers across six industries. My team and I delivered six industry-specific ad concepts in under four weeks, a complete asset suite (display, email, print, sponsored content, and five custom landing pages) including paid search. The campaign generated 3.8M+ impressions (tripling 2021), 16,000+ clicks, and 7,500+ new leads, all while reducing cost-per-impression. It successfully introduced a 130-year-old brand to a new generation of industrial buyers — while sounding damn good the entire time.
