The problem

Your automation ads are invisible in a sea of static LinkedIn posts

You are running the same 3 static LinkedIn ads targeting plant managers. CTR has dropped below 0.5% and your cost per lead is climbing every quarter.

Your ad creative process takes 3-4 weeks. By the time new ads launch, the previous ones are already stale. You cannot keep pace with the content demands of paid media.

Generic B2B ad agencies do not understand automation buyer language. Your ads say 'innovative solutions' when they should say 'reduce unplanned downtime by 34% with predictive maintenance'.

The solution

Targeted video ads that speak the language of automation buyers

Submit as many video ad requests as you need. Each includes hook writing around specific pain points, full script, editing, captions, and LinkedIn plus YouTube format versions.

Every two weeks we review your ad performance data, identify which messages resonate with engineers, and produce fresh creative based on what is actually generating leads.

All scripts use automation buyer language: downtime cost, OEE improvement, throughput gains, and integration timelines. Technical credibility that makes engineers stop scrolling.

The industrial automation & engineering context

Built for how industrial automation companies actually buy

Plant manager, automation engineer, or VP of Operations at a manufacturing facility with $10M-$500M revenue. Highly technical, risk-averse, and committee-driven. Evaluates 3-6 vendors over 6-18 months. Values proof of uptime, integration compatibility, and measurable throughput gains.

What industrial automation & engineering companies are up against

  • Highly technical products make it nearly impossible to explain value in a 30-second website visit — prospects leave before understanding your solution
  • Your niche audience is tiny and scattered across trade shows, LinkedIn groups, and industry forums — traditional marketing channels miss them entirely
  • Proving ROI of automation equipment costing $100K+ requires detailed case studies and demonstrations that static brochures cannot deliver
  • Competitors with slick video content look more modern and capable even when your engineering is superior — perception is winning over performance

Where video moves the needle

  • Product demonstration videos showing equipment in operation
  • YouTube technical explainers for automation engineers
  • Trade show booth video loops and presentations
  • Customer facility case study walkthroughs
  • Integration and commissioning process videos

Why this matters

Why industrial automation companies need video ad creatives

Industrial automation has a unique paid media challenge: tiny, highly technical audiences with very high deal values. You cannot spray generic video ads at a broad audience and hope for leads. Every ad must speak directly to the engineer or plant manager evaluating solutions, using the technical language they trust and the metrics they care about.

Our bi-weekly creative refresh ensures your ads never go stale in the small, concentrated feeds of your target buyers. We treat your ad account as a precision instrument — testing specific pain points, application-specific messaging, and ROI angles that resonate with committee-driven purchasing decisions. For automation companies where a single deal can be worth $200K-$2M, even modest improvements in ad performance translate to massive revenue impact.

Is this right for your industrial automation & engineering company?

We want to be upfront about who we work best with.

Right for you if:

  • Your automation company is spending $5K+/month on LinkedIn or YouTube ads and needs video creative that converts technical buyers
  • Static image ads are fatiguing and your cost per lead is climbing quarter over quarter
  • You want a creative partner who understands automation buyer language, not a generic ad agency
  • You need ads that generate RFQs and sales conversations, not just impressions

Probably not the right fit if:

  • You are not yet running paid ads and want to start with organic content first
  • You want brand awareness content rather than direct-response performance creative
  • Your monthly ad spend is under $3K — the creative investment may not justify the budget level
  • You want to manage the creative strategy yourself and just need basic video editing
