A pipeline contractor doesn't need another AI-generated image or stock photo of a hard hat. They need someone who understands what happened on that job and why it mattered. Your work deserves to be showcased the right way.

Our job is to turn your expertise into marketing that reflects the grit and dedication you bring to every project.

Most companies focus marketing on decision-makers, but in word-of-mouth industries, brand advocates are a key growth channel. In the pipeline industry, people want to see work crews using equipment they recognize in environments they understand.

A pipeline equipment company’s initial strategy was to market just to the decision-makers. To stay top of mind, they shifted to targeting brand advocates: the people who use the equipment.

While field crews aren’t decision-makers, their experience influences buying decisions. Throughout this campaign, field-focused posts generated higher engagement, indicating people prefer posts where they feel seen. The content strategy shifted to showcasing the equipment and crews in action, speaking directly to those with field experience.

This approach moved beyond LinkedIn to meet audiences where they are, on Facebook.

After six months, engagement across social media increased and surpassed industry averages, with more likes, comments, and shares. Key results included:

• 11% Increase in LinkedIn Engagement
• 4% Increase in Facebook Engagement
• 248 New LinkedIn Followers
• 1400 New Facebook Followers

In industries where the people using the equipment aren't necessarily the ones signing the purchase order, your marketing shouldn't ignore the people who shape the product's reputation in the field.

This case study was a finalist for the Maverick Marketing Award at the Crystal Awards. The Maverick Marketing category seeks unique responses and the strategy behind doing something that hasn’t been done before.

Growth opportunities are often hiding in plain sight.

Many industrial organizations have deep technical expertise and a strong track record of success, but those strengths aren't always being captured and shared effectively. Business growth stalls if

• Valuable knowledge isn't documented
• Great projects go unnoticed
• Marketing depends on a single person
• Sales teams lack supporting content
• & Websites become outdated

Identifying and addressing these gaps can create new opportunities. By investing in a clear marketing strategy and consistently sharing your successes, your organization can turn existing strengths into measurable business growth.

Chase these opportunities with a marketing agency that will help fill these gaps. Learn more at www.sageledmarketing.com.

There’s a reason pictures are worth a thousand words, and when they’re missing, showcasing your product or service can be challenging.

Choosing to capture photography and videography on projects helps build your long-term asset library of high-quality visuals. The video footage and photos can then be used across multiple marketing materials.

Visuals are essential in storytelling, and people remember information better when it’s presented visually. Real project visuals are even more likely to be shared on social media, increasing traffic to your brand.

The work you’re already doing is some of the most powerful content you can share. Learn more about our photography and videography services at https://sageledmarketing.com/services/.

It’s National 811 Day!

Being in the pipeline industry, we want to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of calling 811 before you dig.

PHMSA’s free service connects you to local detectors who locate and identify underground utility lines, which helps prevent costly damage, service outages, and serious injuries.

The 811 Process
1. Reach out to your local one-call center by dialing 811 or submitting a request online at least 2–3 business days prior to digging.
2. Local utility companies send crews to your property to mark the approximate locations of underground lines using colored flags or spray paint.
3. Once all lines are marked, you may excavate carefully, avoiding digging directly over the marked lines.
