Manufacturing Content Agency

Your factory floor
is extraordinary.
Your content
should be too.

We turn CNC tolerances, ISO compliance stories, and supply chain pivots into content that fills pipelines and earns backlinks from the trade publications your buyers actually read.

The problem: extraordinary product, invisible brand.

Meridian Precision — a Tier 2 aerospace machining supplier with 6-sigma tolerances and 28 years of aerospace certs — was losing RFQs to a competitor whose CNC work was objectively inferior. The difference: three blog posts, a LinkedIn presence, and one trade pub feature.

The gap we found in their audit

  • Website last updated: 2017. Zero blog. Zero case studies.
  • Competitors ranking for "aerospace CNC machining Ohio" — they were on page 4.
  • No LinkedIn company page. Zero trade pub mentions in 3 years.
  • 94% of leads came from referrals — a single point of failure.

"We kept losing RFQs to guys I knew had worse machines. I finally looked at their website and understood why."

Outcomes

The strategy: every piece of content earns its place.

We don't produce content for content's sake. Every article, video, and LinkedIn post is engineered to rank, earn links, or land in a trade pub — ideally all three.

01

Content Pillar Architecture

We mapped 12 cornerstone topics around Meridian's actual process advantages — their 6-axis capabilities, their AS9100 workflow, their 48-hour prototype turnaround. Each pillar spawns 8–12 supporting articles.

02

Trade Publication Outreach

We pitched 8 target publications with bylined articles authored by Meridian's engineers. Not press releases — genuine technical expertise that editors actually want.

03

LinkedIn Demand Generation

A 90-day LinkedIn campaign targeting procurement managers and VP Engineering at aerospace OEMs — using Meridian's own process photos and tolerance data as creative.

Chapter 03

The results: numbers that moved the business.

18 months. One manufacturing client. Here's what happened when we treated their process expertise as the editorial asset it actually was.
