BKV Direct Advertising

Sound Insight. Creative Action. Measurable Results.

What does it mean to be a full-service direct marketing agency? We believe B2B marketing must be a major focus of what we do. It helps our clients build a B2B marketing strategy that attains and retains the right customers. And we accomplish by serving a small number of companies in a big way. Our B2B direct marketing professionals gather insights into the market, competition, customers and influencers, then take action with B2B solutions that produce measurable results.

A Formula for Clever Marketing.

Everything we do is designed to fuel brands and ignite sales. How do we do it? Our strongest B2B technology is a simple formula that has been proven time after time for companies of all kinds: insight + action = results.  Insight that targets the right groups at the right times. Action that creates momentum and changes perceptions. Combined, they create results you can measure. Results you never thought possible.

From B2B direct marketing to media planning (and buying) to public relations, BKV has the right formula to build your business.

    Caterpillar

    Caterpillar manufacturers heavy duty engines for a wide range of applications, including fire and rescue vehicles, transit buses, waste hauling trucks and school buses. Each vertical market requires different engine features and performance attributes. So we created a campaign that highlighted benefits specific to each target industry.

    This distinctive creative approach featuring bold machined metal headlines enabled Caterpillar to stand out from the competition in this highly competitive marketplace.

    Freightliner Excelerator

    Freightliner Trucks created the Excelerator roadside assistance program to serve owner-operators and small fleets that can’t afford more costly alternatives. BKV created a launch campaign that drove name awareness and conveyed a very simple user benefit: Excelerator keeps you moving. Each ad showed three scenarios; two where the truck has arrived on time and one where the truck didn’t.

    Supported by direct mail, email marketing and trade show displays, the campaign has succeeded in establishing Excelerator as a viable option for roadside assistance.

    John Deere

    For years, John Deere Construction & Forestry Division operated in the shadow of the industry leader. But thanks to new features and product innovations, Deere machines were actually outperforming their better known competitors. So BKV worked closely with Deere engineers to identify and highlight specific performance advantages.

    The key insight is fleet managers and buyers are drawn to numbers. But rather than use obvious numbers about how many tons a loader can move, for example, we twisted the numbers to be incredibly small, dramatically large or distinctive in some other way.

    The Numbers campaign has proven to be a big success, drawing readers to a Web site to "dig deeper" to find out more.

    MAMTC

    The Mid-America Manufacturing Technology Center (MAMTC) is a valuable resource for small and mid-sized manufacturers in Kansas. MAMTC provides consulting, Six Sigma training and other services that help these local companies better compete in the global marketplace.

BKV created a series of high impact direct mail invitations to these seminars.

    A winner of the KC Direct Marketing Association’s AMBIT Awards, this series outperformed all previous direct marketing efforts and raised name awareness with key prospects.
