Background
Triple T Transport is an established 3PL freight broker based in Lewis Center, Ohio, acting as a crucial intermediary between shippers and freight carriers in the logistics sector. Seeking to enhance brand visibility, engage with their target audience, and to establish thought leadership within their field, Triple T was eager to explore the potential of digital content creation. A representative from their team approached TriAd Marketing & Media with an interest in podcasting as a marketing tool.
Objective
Triple T Transport initially sought to leverage podcasting to connect with their audience, share industry insights, and foster brand recognition. With a desire to expand their digital footprint and revitalize their online presence, they aimed to create engaging content that resonated with their audience while positioning themselves as industry experts.
Strategy & Implementation
TriAd Marketing & Media collaborated closely with Triple T Transport senior Sales Executive John Mahle to develop a comprehensive strategy tailored to their goals. Recognizing the potential of podcasting as a versatile platform for content dissemination, TriAd proposed the creation of a weekly video podcast called Stay In Your Lane to be distributed across multiple channels including YouTube and major podcasting platforms. This included a particular focus on Triple T’s strongest platform, LinkedIn.
The podcast format evolved beyond its initial conception, incorporating engaging statements such as “Supply Chain Squares” gameshow-style episodes to enhance viewer interaction and entertainment value. Leveraging these episodes as a cornerstone of the podcast series, TriAd expanded the content’s reach by repurposing it into various formats including news articles, social media posts, shorts/reels content, digital ad campaigns, and email campaigns.
Mahle utilized his skills as a high-value partner to gain regular guests on the podcast. This included leading figures in the field of transportation and logistics. This, in correlation with a strong social media promotion schedule allowed the podcast to hit a wide number of viewers and listeners very quickly.
In addition to podcasting, the team identified the opportunity to revitalize Triple T Transport’s blog into an industry news outlet that brings value to readers and organic traffic to the website. By updating and diversifying the blog’s content to align with the podcast themes, TriAd successfully increased blog traffic, attracting several hundred visitors each month within the first year of posting.
As the content strategy grew and the website became loaded with high-value media, it was determined that the rest of the website needed to reflect the high level of quality being placed in the communications and the service offering provided by Triple T to its customers. This resulted in TriAd crafting a new website design with the fresh interior page copy containing strong calls to action. The 80-page website was redesigned to properly display the improvements to information and media within.
This partnership between TriAd Marketing & Media and Triple T Transport has strengthened and developed into a solid channel of communication. When Triple T needs new sales sheets, print advertisements, or digital document layout templates, TriAd has been present to address each need quickly and responsively with high-quality marketing materials. TriAd is proud to be Triple T’s agency of choice in all aspects of marketing.
