Elevating Magitest’s Digital Presence: How Programmatic Media Buying Amplified Brand Awareness in the B2B Construction Sector

Introduction & Context:

Magitest is a Moroccan company specializing in the supply of laboratory testing equipment for the building, public works, and associated industries. With over 25 years of experience, they offer a comprehensive range of testing equipment, from standard units to large-scale dynamic installations, providing turnkey laboratory systems.

Their target audience includes construction companies, laboratories, and industry professionals seeking high-quality testing equipment. Despite their extensive experience and product range, Magitest faced challenges in enhancing their digital presence and reaching a broader audience in a competitive B2B market.

The Challenge (Pain Point & Problem Statement):

Magitest‘s primary challenge was limited brand visibility in the digital space, leading to missed opportunities in attracting potential clients. Specific issues included:

  • Low Website Traffic: The company’s website had an average of 200 monthly visitors, insufficient for generating substantial leads.

     

  • Minimal Engagement: Their online content received limited interaction, with an average engagement rate of 0.5%.

     

  • Outdated Digital Strategy: Reliance on traditional marketing methods resulted in a lack of presence on digital platforms where potential clients are active.
