Efficient Multilingual Campaigns & Standardised Branding

The Challenge

Nikken Kosakusho, a globally recognized Japanese company specializing in precision engineering and rotary tables, faced a unique challenge. Renowned for its high-tech operations in sectors like aerospace and Formula One racing, Nikken operates across multiple European countries, including France, the UK, Germany, and Italy. Their primary issue was the lack of standardized marketing materials and an inefficient process that struggled to integrate multilingual campaigns. The challenge was compounded by the difficulty in finding talent with the right mix of language skills, graphic design expertise, and technical understanding of engineering concepts.

The Smart Solution

SOS recognized the specific needs of Nikken and assembled a specialized team to address these challenges. We curated a group of multilingual graphic designers with a deep understanding of technical and engineering concepts. This team was not just skilled in graphic design but also equipped with language capabilities that were essential for Nikken’s diverse European market.

Our approach streamlined Nikken’s marketing processes, transforming a previously fragmented and inefficient system. By centralizing their marketing efforts, we created a more cohesive and standardized approach across all European branches. This systemization was crucial in ensuring consistency in branding and messaging, despite the linguistic and cultural diversity.

The Outcome

As a result of our intervention:

• Nikken experienced a significant improvement in the efficiency and cohesion of their marketing operations across Europe.
• The need for separate translators and graphic designers for different regions was eliminated, leading to more streamlined and cost-effective processes.
• Although direct sales impacts are not quantifiable in this case, the standardization and efficiency of marketing operations have undoubtedly supported Nikken’s market presence and branding in Europe.
