The Challenge
Rolls-Royce was looking for a strategic marketing partner capable of delivering authoritative, data-driven content that would resonate with defence prime contractors, Ministries of Defence (MODs), and Departments of Defence (DODs) worldwide. As global military modernisation accelerated, Rolls-Royce wanted to position itself at the forefront of the conversation around next-generation military mobility and power solutions.
The Solution
GlobalData Marketing Solutions developed an integrated content strategy centred around one of the defence sector’s most important emerging themes: Military Autarky and the future of military vehicle modernisation.
The campaign combined expert thought leadership articles with an in-depth whitepaper analysing the evolving requirements of modern land forces. Content explored the advantages and trade-offs of new-build programmes, mid-life upgrades, deep retrofit programmes and repower strategies, with particular focus on Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) and Boxer-class 8×8 platforms.
Using GlobalData’s defence intelligence, audience targeting capabilities and first-party data, the campaign was delivered directly to defence primes, government procurement organisations, and military decision makers actively researching future land capability programmes.
The Results
Through GlobalData’s Lead Intelligence platform Rolls-Royce gained visibility into engagement from every one of the world’s top ten Ministries and Departments of Defence.
The campaign generated high-value engagement and qualified leads from organisations including the UK Ministry of Defence, US Army, BAE Systems, Rheinmetall, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman.
The campaign reinforced Rolls-Royce’s position as a trusted authority in military vehicle modernisation creating meaningful engagement with the organisations responsible for future defence investment programmes.
