About Brucey - B2B Industrial Marketing Consultants

Our Mission hasn't changed since the day we first started Brucey in 2016. We are here to build highly-effective marketing capability, performance and leadership in industrial businesses.

On average, industrial businesses lag behind other sectors when it comes to marketing performance. This is often attributable to a lower importance or focus placed on marketing - perhaps a more traditional sales orientation has worked in the past.

But this is changing. Many industrial businesses are realising they need great marketing and a strategic approach to developing their business as much or more than businesses is other sectors.

They’re faced with communicating complex concepts to risk-averse technical audiences; selling costly systems & solutions; operating in long sales cycles; and with multiple stakeholders who have different needs.

The great news for industrial businesses in this position is that developing an effective marketing capability can readily deliver quantifiable results in the short term and sustained gains into the future.

We want to see Australia develop into a leading advanced manufacturing nation.

In Australia as in many developed countries, the manufacturing sector has been in decline for some time. We've relied on lower-cost nations to build the products and equipment we need, whilst focussing on other sectors.

More recently, manufacturing has been undergoing dramatic transformation, as technological change enables new ways to manufacture, lowering barriers, opening up new opportunities.

We intend to be remain a part of the manufacturing sector as it undergoes this transformation, to play a role in driving the change needed to a more strategic, market-oriented mindset that is necessary if businesses are to succeed in an advanced manufacturing economy and competitive global marketplace.

WHO WE ARE

We build marketing excellence in the industrial sector.

We’re a small team of industrial marketers.

We’ve worked in and for industrial businesses ourselves - manufacturing, engineering, construction, mining and energy. We’ve seen the challenges of marketing in the industrial sector. And we know the potential upside for those businesses that adopt an effective approach to marketing.

We’re here to help industrial companies tap into their potential and become high-performance marketers and market leaders.

Most businesses we work with have growth goals and need help to develop and execute the strategy, such as:

new products or services to launch
geographic or market expansion
an acquisition or merger

For others, it’s less about product/market or revenue growth, and more about growing profit or effectiveness due to:

a change in competitive / market conditions
an opportunity to optimise performance
improve customer alignment
