Reimagining a legacy brand for global impact: How a pioneer in precision engineering embraced digital to drive growth

About the client

For over 50 years, our client has stood at the forefront of India’s precision engineering and machine tool industry. With a legacy of innovation and leadership in advanced manufacturing, the company wasn’t content resting on its achievements. As they looked to scale their brand globally, especially into European markets, they recognised the need to transform how they communicated their value to the world.

But even legends need a refresh.

Challenge

Bridging legacy with a digital future

The leadership team knew that while their reputation in manufacturing was strong, their digital presence didn’t reflect their market leadership. They wanted to:

  • Build a stronger digital brand identity
  • Engage customers more meaningfully across platforms
  • Expand globally with localised messaging

     

Turn their website into a powerful lead generation engine

Solution

Their vision, our mission

The client’s top management laid out a bold vision. At OutSmart, our role was to support their journey as a strategic guide, helping translate their legacy into digital relevance. We didn’t just build assets — we worked hand-in-hand with their internal teams across departments to co-create a cohesive, global digital strategy.

Together, we:

  • Redefined their brand voice for Indian and global audiences
  • Revamped the website for usability, SEO, and lead generation
  • Launched region-specific social media strategies
  • Aligned their internal teams with the new digital direction

     

Supported performance marketing and global outreach campaigns

Benefits

A legacy brand, digitally reinvented

With their bold vision and cross-functional collaboration, we helped our client achieve:

🚀 117% increase in new website users
📈 18,000+ leads generated across product interest and inquiries
🌍 Stronger presence in European markets
🔍 65% growth in SEO rankings
💬 175% increase in LinkedIn engagement reactions

Behind every number is a team that embraced change. Our client didn’t just update their marketing. They reimagined how their story could be told to new markets, customers, and partners.

Deliverables
