Marketing that grafts as hard as you do.

Your marketing has to work harder than ever, so you need a partner that knows manufacturing. The rules, the regs, the buying sales cycles and the buyers.

Whether you need continuous support, or just some specialists for a one-off project, you need a creative partner that knows how to work in your category. And at Ketchup, we roll up our sleeves and get stuck in.

From prototype to product launch.

Data-driven insights.

Get smart recommendations based on campaign analytics. Calculate ROI for every client you secure. Base your marketing decisions on the right information, delivered at the right time.

Build your brand, tell your story.

Your brand is your identity. It’s not just about a cool logo or eye-catching colour scheme. Great branding answers crucial questions, not just about what you do, but why you do it. Stand out against your competitors, capture attention, and tell your story – whether you’re launching something new, trying to shift perception, or repairing trust after a rough patch.

Sell yourself to your own people.

Set yourself apart in the recruitment race with a strong employer brand. Attract the best hires and retain them for the long term, by demonstrating exactly why your organisation is a great place to work.

The best of British.

British manufacturing built the modern world. Our approach to marketing for UK manufacturers helps highlight your history and quality, and makes your heritage a major selling point when you’re ready to crack international markets.

Shout about your CSR.

Corporate social responsibility isn’t just the right thing to do: it can help boost your bottom line. We can help highlight your sustainability, your ethically-sourced materials, or your efforts to give back to your community – all things your customers are increasingly savvy about.

You make it, we’ll market.

Our approach to marketing isn’t ‘nice to have’; it’s a fully integrated component of your manufacturing process. Take your products to the next level and lead your industry with campaigns built on solid foundations.
