Situation:
New Holland is a global manufacturer of farming and heavy construction equipment. They had several marketing silos that required consolidation and cost reduction. With a lean staff, they needed assistance project managing the migration of these silos into a new comprehensive system. Additionally, they needed assistance with several marketing communications initiatives, including their Dealer Standards program and 120th Anniversary. They also sought an outside agency to help them leverage their relationship with Florida Georgia Line to whom they had recently leased a tractor.
