Driving Digital Transformation for Colson Group USA

Objective and Background
Colson Group USA, a leading global manufacturer of casters and wheels, partnered with Media Genesis to modernize their digital presence and enhance customer engagement. The primary goals were to streamline multiple brand websites, improve functionality, and provide a cohesive digital experience that represents all Colson brands under one platform. Colson Group’s diverse portfolio includes brands like Albion, Faultless, PEMCO, MedCaster, Jarvis, and Shepherd, each catering to various industries, from healthcare to heavy manufacturing. 

Challenges and Opportunities
Colson Group faced several challenges as they sought to enhance their online presence: 

• Multiple Brand Sites: Colson Group manages numerous websites for its various brands, each with separate data, which made it difficult to create a unified user experience.
• Outdated Technology and User Experience: Some of Colson’s sites were built on outdated themes and plugins, affecting performance and compatibility across devices. Improving site speed and user experience was essential​​.
• Need for a Unified Product Catalogue: With a vast product line across multiple industries, Colson wanted a single, integrated online product catalog that could showcase 3D models and offer seamless navigation by industry and application​.
• Limited Analytics Tracking Across Sites: Due to tracking inconsistencies between brand websites, Colson needed better analytics to capture user journeys and improve marketing efforts across its digital properties​.

• Optimized Website Performance: Media Genesis identified key technical improvements, such as image optimization and plugin updates, to drastically improve page load times. These changes increased site performance on both desktop and mobile, providing users with faster, more efficient browsing​. 

• Enhanced Analytics and Tracking: Media Genesis set up cross-domain tracking across all Colson Group websites to ensure a unified view of user behavior. This improved tracking capabilities, enabling Colson to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and customer interactions across different brands​. 

• SEO and Content Strategy: Collaborating closely with Colson, Media Genesis focused on optimizing SEO to effectively communicate the unique value propositions of each brand through industry-specific landing pages. These pages incorporated persuasive calls to action, resulting in improved user engagement and increased conversions. As a result of these efforts, Colson saw a boost in visibility and attracted a higher volume of organic traffic to their website.
