"The team at Clariant Creative has done a fantastic job of getting us fully set up on HubSpot and helping us maximize the platform's capabilities. The ideas they bring us are current and innovative. As a result, we’re not only launching campaigns more efficiently, we’re also more successfully aligning our sales and marketing activities to understand who our most qualified leads are and how to best take action with them."
"Clariant Creative was extremely thorough in learning about our market and business while creating our blog from scratch. It has been great to watch our blog turn into a community of thought leaders that our subscriber base looks forward to hearing from every month."
"I’ve worked with many agency partners over the years, and Clariant Creative remains one of the best. Your team creates magic with often times short timeframes and complex clinical topics. I very much appreciate all you’ve brought to the table for Friends of Hu-Friedy and know you’ll continue to produce smart, relevant content for our hygiene community. Thank you for the partnership the past few years!"
"Clariant Creative quickly learned our specialized, high-tech industry, which isn't easy to do. They help us stay focused on consistency and quality in our marketing, and we love working with them."
"We love that Clariant Creative is flexible and easy to work with. We have a very small in-house team, and they're always able to change gears quickly and help us with whatever we might need."
It's not easy to enter a new market, particularly when you're an unknown brand and the existing competition is fierce. Although ClearSale is the market leader for e-commerce merchant fraud protection in Brazil (where the company is globally headquartered), they sought to enter the lucrative but highly competitive U.S. market. Armed with a new office in Miami and a new English-language website, ClearSale needed to make a big entrance, quickly.
ClearSale went all-in on inbound. To ensure the most comprehensive strategy, we collaborated with a network of partner agencies — including a PR agency, a digital advertising agency, and an inbound sales agency.
Our combined efforts spanned a range of areas, including search engine optimization (SEO), twice-weekly blogging, case studies, conversion-focused content offers, public relations outreach, and paid search marketing. Automated lead nurturing campaigns help ClearSale maintain conversations with leads who download their content, while the inbound sales team actively guides these leads through the buying journey to become customers.
ClearSale has become a sales-generating powerhouse, with inbound marketing eclipsing all other channels in converting leads into customers.
Chicago-based WellRight delivers corporate wellness programs that help keep employees healthy, happy, and productive. What makes WellRight so special is the unique way in which their programs are structured, making them extremely holistic, flexible and engaging. And yet, in this highly competitive space filled with lookalike vendors, WellRight needed to differentiate itself, build brand awareness, and establish a reputation as a thought leader in corporate wellness.
Inbound marketing offered the perfect approach to help WellRight achieve these goals. We immediately helped WellRight build out a comprehensive strategy to tell a more cohesive brand story that would resonate with their three core buyer personas. Our strategy included consistent blogging, engaging webinars led by industry key opinion leaders, and persona-driven content campaigns.
To enable WellRight’s small marketing team to leverage the power of marketing automation, we helped them transition onto the HubSpot platform. We then led a website redesign to shine a spotlight on WellRight’s unique brand value and to encourage visitors to engage with our content more thoroughly.
Inbound marketing has not only helped differentiate WellRight, it has dramatically enhanced the way WellRight interacts with prospective clients—and the company is now converting more leads, more quickly. To the delight of their CEO, in just five months after launching this new strategy, their inbound content has generated 417 new leads and has influenced 14 new deals.
Germany-based bowbridge Software is a global leader in a niche category: SAP cybersecurity. Its target market is extremely conservative, notoriously skeptical of traditional marketing, and often blithely unaware of their need for bowbridge’s solution. Selling, therefore, requires carefully educating potential customers. But before any education can take place, bowbridge must first find and reach their target audience, which is no easy task in this relatively narrow market.
Because buyers in this space prefer hard data over fluffy marketing, bowbridge launched a major research project to quantify the cybersecurity risks associated with certain SAP applications. The result was a treasure trove of eye-opening statistics.
We compiled the data, plus expert commentary, into a comprehensive white paper available for download on bowbridge’s website. A carefully planned inbound marketing and public relations campaign (which we executed in collaboration with a partner PR agency) drove traffic to the website via influencer outreach, email marketing, blogging, and paid social media advertising.
This highly targeted campaign generated a significant number of leads for the small company in just two months. We have also created considerable brand awareness for bowbridge in the media, which now provides us with a foundation for ongoing outreach to complement our inbound marketing activities.
"Clariant Creative quickly learned our specialized, high-tech industry, which isn't easy to do. They've built consistency and quality into our marketing, and we love working with them."

Healthcare consulting firm Lumina Health Partners recognized early in 2020 the impact COVID-19 was having on their target customer base of hospitals and physicians. Lumina had developed a financial recovery consulting package that could provide tremendous value, but they knew many hospital buyers didn’t have the budget to pay for pricey services. Nonetheless, Lumina still wanted to build relationships with these leads now, to prepare for better days ahead.
We recognized that professionals were getting tired of remote calls and virtual seminars. To combat this “Zoom fatigue” while still educating Lumina’s audience about the value of their financial recovery services, we created content in a range of format designed to engage readers in different ways. This included a five-part “masterclass” series of short, on-demand webinars, a podcast featuring top financial recovery experts, and a data-rich, highly actionable white paper. All of the content was published on Lumina’s website and promoted via email and social media.
Lumina’s audience was thirsty for this information: Compared to the previous 12-month average, we generated a 46% increase in organic web traffic during the campaign. This success ultimately allowed Lumina to create curated lead lists and specific pipelines based on engagement with offers and content, allowing them to reach – and help – their target audience in an impactful, lasting way.
"The ideas Clariant Creative brings us are current and innovative. As a result, we’re not only launching campaigns more efficiently, we’re also more successfully aligning our sales and marketing activities to understand who our most qualified leads are and how to best take action with them."
