WHERE THEY WERE

New Start

In 2023, following its acquisition by Neste Corporation in late 2022, SeQuential Oil faced the challenge of scaling its operations to meet the rigorous sustainability and performance standards expected of a company now associated with the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and the Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable companies.

SeQuential's Plan

We initiated SeQuential’s digital marketing campaign by launching Google Ads and advising on social media strategies. Our recommendations focused on creating impactful content and optimizing SEO, seamlessly integrating targeted advertising to enhance web traffic.

SeQuential had several key advantages, including a highly responsive and inherently scalable website, a strong social media presences, as well as a good amount of brand recognition and goodwill. What they had been unable to do, up to that point, was leverage the market’s awareness and turn thousands of followers and fans into paying customers and clients. 

SeQuential's Challenge

SeQuential strived to distinguish itself in the highly competitive sustainable waste management market, while aligning with the expectations of an environmentally conscious and discerning customer base seeking innovative, responsible solutions.
