SAPPHIRE RISK ADVISORY GROUP

CLIENT

Sapphire Risk Advisory Group is one of the oldest security advisors to the cannabis industry, with decades of experience securing high-risk assets.

They help cannabis dispensaries, cultivation facilities, retail stores, and consultants protect their investments by assisting with secure facility build-outs.

State and federal regulations surrounding cannabis change regularly, and Sapphire Risk advises those in the industry on how to follow the proper procedures to get their facilities from application to operation smoothly.

THE CLIENT'S ASK

The restrictions and regulations surrounding the cannabis industry make it difficult for those in the cannabis industry to utilize paid media in their marketing efforts. As a result, Sapphire Risk relied heavily on client acquisitions from networking and trade shows.

The client wanted to improve their SEO so that their website could attract more net new prospects. However, they weren't sure if their website was a good reflection of the decades of security expertise they had.

Mind & Metrics worked to define and improve Sapphire Risk's Digital Experience Strategy, SEO & Inbound Marketing, and to redesign their website to help elevate their online presence and increase lead generation.

CHALLENGES

  • Showcase decades of brand expertise through the website.
  • Increase brand reach without the use of paid media.
  • Improve SEO across website to boost online visibility.

HUBSPOT + WORDPRESS INTEGRATION

We integrated Wordpress with HubSpot, so that HubSpot could an anchor for lead management and follow ups. 

We defined lead segmentation and buyer persona identification. By managing leads in HubSpot, as opposed to Wordpress, Sapphire Risk was able to gain a greater alignment and oversight on following up on critical leads.
