Sector Diversification Strategy

Background

Metec, a leader in engineering consultancy, recognised the need to broaden its revenue streams beyond traditional building-services design. Emerging regulations and client demand presented significant growth opportunities in:

  1. Operational Energy Modelling – leveraging digital twins and simulations to optimise building performance.

  2. BER Pathway – guiding clients through stringent Building Energy Rating requirements.

  3. Data Centre Consultancy – advising on high-intensity power, cooling strategies and sustainability metrics.

To capitalise on these opportunities, Metec partnered with Generate Leads to build a market-ready platform for each new service line and raise awareness among their ideal “bullseye” customers.

Challenges

  • Unclear Service Proposition
    Metec’s expertise was well established, but the precise value-adds and packaging of these three new offerings remained undefined.

  • Target Audience Definition
    It was essential to identify exactly who would invest in advanced energy modelling, BER compliance management or data-centre optimisation - and to tailor each message accordingly.

  • Go-to-Market Readiness
    Metec lacked dedicated digital touchpoints and educational collateral to nurture prospects through a technically driven sales cycle.

Our Strategy

We embed strategic thinking into every tactical deliverable, acting as an extension of our clients’ leadership teams.

  1. Co-creation Workshops with Senior Leadership

    • Facilitated deep-dive sessions to define each service’s scope, pricing model and competitive differentiators.

    • Mapped the decision journey for each bullseye persona: owners, facilities managers and sustainability directors.

  2. Bullseye Customer Profiling

    • Developed detailed buyer personas per service line, outlining core pain points (rising energy costs, compliance deadlines, cooling inefficiencies) and decision criteria.

    • Aligned messaging pillars - Optimise, Comply, Future-Proof - to resonate with each persona’s priorities.

  3. Digital Foundation: Bespoke Landing Pages

    • Designed and launched dedicated landing pages - one per service—optimised for clarity, conversion and SEO.

    • Integrated interactive elements (ROI calculators, compliance checklists, readiness quizzes) to engage visitors.

  4. Integrated Content Plan & Asset Library

    • Created a six month content planner featuring:

      • LinkedIn Newsletters: deep dives on energy-modelling trends, BER regulatory updates and data-centre sustainability.

      • Carousel Posts & Short Videos: showcasing case highlights, “before & after” energy savings and compliance roadmaps.

      • Sales Collateral: hard-copy one-pagers and digital brochures for events and client meetings.

      • Interactive Online Questionnaire: channelled high-intent prospects directly to Metec’s senior consultants.

Results Achieved

  • High-Impact Landing Pages Launched
    Each page drew significantly increased traffic and delivered solid lead-capture performance, quickly becoming a primary source of new enquiries.

  • Enhanced Awareness & Engagement

    • The LinkedIn newsletter saw substantial subscriber growth and consistently strong open rates, outpacing typical industry benchmarks.

    • Carousel posts and videos achieved noteworthy engagement, contributing to a marked uptick in followers and social interactions.

  • Robust Lead Generation & Pipeline Growth

    • The interactive questionnaire generated a healthy volume of qualified leads, many of which progressed to detailed proposals.

    • Early data-centre consultancy pilots converted into paid engagements, underscoring market demand for Metec’s new offerings.

  • Strengthened Strategic Positioning

Metec is now widely recognised by key clients as a go-to expert in energy modelling, BER compliance and data-centre efficiency - elevating its brand from a generalist engineering firm to a specialist sustainability partner.
