KYOCERA Document Solutions gains leads and data visibility
KYOCERA Document Solutions’ innovative, eco-conscious print technology helps businesses achieve greater productivity.
Transitioning from traditional to digital marketing
While the Australian arm of the global business has enjoyed healthy customer growth thanks to outbound campaign activities, the ongoing results relied on continued media spend; once that was tapped out, the leads stopped flowing.
KYOCERA recognised the need to change its marketing approach from a media-centric outbound approach, to a content-centric inbound approach that would turn its own website into a magnet for a predictable and sustainable pool of qualified leads.
Finding the right partner
With a small inhouse team and limited experience of inbound marketing, KYOCERA began a market scan to shortlist strategic agency partners to help them navigate the new landscape.
The partner needed to have:
- B2b technology marketing expertise
- A proven ability in working with the Hubspot marketing automation tool that was to be implemented
- A demonstrated ability to plan, produce and distribute high-quality content that would cut through the noise and generate commercial results.
A list of four potential agencies became one throughout the pitching process, thus KYOCERA and Brand chemistry joined forces to deliver on the KYOCERA vision.
KYOCERA’s ANZ marketing team also liked the idea of having greater data visibility for making decisions on which channels, messages and formats to invest in further.

The strategy
Bc kicked off the strategy development process with a deep dive into KYOCERA’s target audiences, developing buyer personas and identifying opportunities for maximum traction with unique, well-researched, yet approachable content.
The comprehensive strategy covered how we would:
- Help KYOCERA understand the needs and behaviours of their target persona segments
- Create relevant, compelling content and distribute it in the most appropriate channels
- Repurpose outdated content to supplement the new for faster results
- Optimise the website for lead conversion
- Build nurture strategies to guide buyers through the buying process with relevant and compelling content
- Support KYOCERA trade events with pre-work, segmentation and nurture efforts
- Create a prospect fit matrix to assist with sales and marketing alignment, as well as do lead scoring and opportunity prioritisation
- Assist with and test the integration of KYOCERA’s Microsoft Dynamics CRM and HubSpot
Bc also facilitated the onboarding and set-up of Hubspot as their chosen marketing automation platform, for effective distribution, analytics and automation.
