◦ 01 // The Challenge

I started CreerTech’s social media presence when the company struggled to differentiate itself in the saturated Philippine software development market. Despite delivering quality solutions across government, logistics, and mobile sectors, their digital presence failed to attract premium enterprise clients or generate meaningful business development opportunities.

The core challenge centered on inconsistent brand messaging that diluted their multi-industry expertise. CreerTech’s existing content lacked strategic focus and failed to demonstrate their enterprise-grade capabilities across diverse sectors.

  • » Fragmented Brand Positioning:
    Spread across multiple industries without a cohesive narrative
  • » Low-Quality Content:
    Failed to showcase technical expertise or business results
  • » Minimal Social Media Engagement:
    Predominantly junior-level audience reach
  • » Lead Generation Absence:
    No systematic strategy connecting content to business development
  • » LinkedIn Followers:
    450 (mostly entry-level professionals)
  • » Monthly Content Engagement:
    2.3% average
  • » Social Media-Attributed Leads:
    12 per quarter
  • » C-Level Executive Audience:
    8% of total following
◦ 02 // Campaign Goals (SMART)
