Experts in Marketing to Engineers and Scientists with Successful Inbound Approach
Rebecca and TREW co-founder Wendy Covey lead TREW Marketing, a successful marketing firm based in Austin, Texas focused specifically on marketing to engineers and scientists. The founders were named by The Wall Street Journal among the Ten Most Innovative Entrepreneurs in America, and Rebecca's recent book, Smart Marketing for Engineers helps companies around the world effectively market to technical audiences using a modern, inbound marketing approach. TREW Marketing brings this experience, along with new data specifically from engineers and scientists in the UK and Europe, to attendees of Embedded World.
"Increasingly in the UK and Europe, the engineering buyer is searching online for content and building brand consideration for future purchases. This means businesses need to get found, grow, and connect their companies online," said Geier. "To drive marketing ROI, companies need to know where and how to shift resources by understanding the changing behaviors of prospects, such as the types and sources of content they most value, their online and search preferences, and when sales should engage."
New Data and Marketing Best Practices at Embedded World
In early 2017, TREW Marketing and Elektor sought to learn from engineers and scientists in the UK and Europe about their content, online search, and buying preferences in industries such as manufacturing, consumer electronics, aerospace/defense, and automotive. Preliminary findings from the survey include:
- Engineers in Europe – similar to their peers in the U.S. – view search engines and vendor websites as the most valued content sources to use when seeking information for their job
- 87% of engineers in Europe indicate they are more likely to do business with a company that regularly produces new and current content
- 88% of engineers in Europe prefer to search online on multiple vendors' websites and read available information before talking to sales
Other findings include data that will help companies understand:
- How many pages deep engineers will go in their search queries to find the right information
- What personal information engineers are willing to give on lead forms
- How and when engineers expect companies to respond after they complete a lead form
Rebecca will present this information and more at Embedded World. To attend, sign up at www.messe-ticket.de/Nuernberg/EmbeddedWorld2017/Register and visit the Elektor stand, 646 Hall 4A, at:

The research goes two ways. While the data helps companies learn how to better reach engineers, it also gives engineers the opportunity to voice how they want to be reached with marketing. Engineers make critical purchase decisions that involve interacting with vendors and salespeople, and by completing the survey, they can influence the content companies create for them and the way companies interact with them. Ultimately, the data helps companies get the right information to engineers through the most meaningful engagements.

A full report with final survey data will be published in late Spring 2017.
