Approach
We implemented a comprehensive strategy aimed at solidifying Archroma's brand and messaging in key global markets. This strategy encompassed the development and placement of feature articles and thought-leadership pieces, alongside participation in important trade shows. By engaging with various media channels, we ensured that Archroma maximised its exposure.
Execution
