The problem
Your manufacturing pipeline disappears between trade shows
You spend $50K-$150K per trade show for 3 days of buyer attention. Between events, your pipeline dries up because you have zero digital presence reaching procurement teams.
Your competitor runs LinkedIn video ads showing their production capabilities to procurement managers every week. You show up at the same trade show once a year and hope for the best.
Generic image ads with stock factory photos get scrolled past. Procurement buyers stop for video that shows real equipment, real processes, and real capabilities.
The solution
Video ads that put your factory in front of procurement buyers year-round
We produce video ads showcasing your production capabilities, equipment, and quality processes — formatted for LinkedIn, YouTube pre-roll, and industry display networks.
Every ad is targeted to procurement managers, plant engineers, and operations leaders in your specific industries and geographies. No wasted impressions on irrelevant audiences.
Bi-weekly creative refresh based on performance data. We test capability angles, certification highlights, and lead-time messaging to find what drives the most qualified RFQs.

Why this matters
Why manufacturing companies need video ad creatives
Manufacturing marketing has historically been trade-show-dependent. But procurement behaviour has shifted permanently online. Buyers research suppliers on LinkedIn, watch capability videos on YouTube, and build shortlists before ever visiting a booth.
Video ads let you reach these buyers every day — not just 3 days per year. LinkedIn's targeting for manufacturing is exceptionally precise: you can reach procurement managers at automotive OEMs, plant engineers at aerospace companies, or operations directors at medical device manufacturers. Combined with video that shows real production capabilities, the result is a pipeline of pre-qualified RFQs from buyers who already know what your facility can do.
Is this right for your manufacturing company?
We want to be upfront about who we work best with.
Right for you if:
- Manufacturing company spending $50K+ per year on trade shows and wanting to supplement with always-on digital
- You have impressive facility capabilities that look compelling on video
- You want to reach procurement buyers in specific industries and geographies year-round
- Your RFQ pipeline is too dependent on seasonal trade show attendance
Probably not the right fit if:
- You are not ready to invest in digital advertising alongside traditional trade show spend
- Your capabilities are truly commodity with no visual differentiation
- You only sell to 3 known accounts and do not need broader awareness
- Your monthly ad budget is under $3K — the targeting precision may not justify the spend
