Problem

The North American Kyocera operations were originally working with a New York based advertising agency. During that time they were unsatisfied with the lack of return and results from their traditional forms of marketing methods including Canadian magazines, radio, and print advertisements. Our investigation discovered that Kyocera's previous marketing efforts received inaccurate statistical reporting and they were being billed for unjustified hidden fees. They were also spending valuable marketing dollars on declining advertising platforms and were not receiving a justified return on investment.

• Irrational marketing expenditures in locations not services
• Declining R.O.I on radio and print advertising
• Online strategy was not targeted towards ideal clientele
• Reporting was inaccurate and the numbers were not adding up

BreezeMaxWeb did a comprehensive marketing analysis on Kyocera's marketing expenditures at the time they were introduced to one another. During the audit, it was revealed that Kyocera was being provided with false performance statistics on their marketing efforts. These statistics falsely reported on marketing mediums and fabricated performance to be significantly better than the results truly indicated. In addition, they were being charged for hidden fees and were not seeing budgets allocated and spent accordingly on strategic targeted campaigns. BreezeMaxWeb's review of Kyocera's marketing strategy revealed over expenditure in marketing channels that yielded declining R.O.I including radio and print advertisements on top of marketing dollars mismanaged in terms of their online marketing campaigns.

• Custom tailored marketing plan to cover entire Canadian market
• English and French ad copy which included Quebec market
• Budget allocated towards research and strategy
• Customized marketing campaigns for individual metros in each province
