Three Markets, One Steering

A measurement technology manufacturer with three language markets hands campaigns, content, tracking and reporting to a single dedicated project lead. The result: more than double the visits, and year after year more - and above all more qualified - inquiries.

What the customer says

“We didn't want a service provider who just processes orders, but one who thinks along with us and brings us topics before we even ask. That's exactly what effective GmbH delivers for us - efficient, forward-thinking, and across all our markets. Since the website project in 2023, a perfectly attuned team has grown here.”

Chief Operating Officer (COO)
REMBE® Kersting GmbH · Measuring. Weighing. Sampling.

Campaign

Industry: Measurement technology / bulk solids industry
Client: REMBE® Kersting GmbH - manufacturer of sampling, weighing and measurement technology for bulk solids
Scope: Steering campaigns, content, tracking and reporting for three language markets from a single source
Region:DACH, Spain, France

Four Service Providers, No Shared Accountability

Buying search engine advertising, editorial, analytics and reporting separately means four invoices and no shared accountability for the result. Building an in-house marketing department for three markets was not a viable option for REMBE® Kersting, given the fluctuating workload across disciplines.

One Steering Instance for All Markets

Since September 2023 - and at today's retainer scope since November 2025 - effective has managed campaigns, content, tracking and reporting for DACH, Spain and France from a single source. A dedicated project lead is responsible for all three markets, shifts budget to wherever the numbers justify it, and measures success by lead quality rather than sheer lead volume.

Results

  • Visits 2.4x higher than the same period last year (12,190 to 29,814)
  • 59 genuine inquiries from January to July 2026
  • 83% of form submissions are genuine inquiries
  • Strongest single month: July 2026 with 14 inquiries

For comparison:
The rolling three-month average of inquiries grew from 6.0 to 9.0 over the course of 2026 - so demand is accelerating on top of the year-over-year growth.

Trusted by industry

In the same hands since 2011 – just one example from over 15 years of collaboration. 

Fifteen years with the same agency doesn’t happen by default; it is a decision we make consciously every single year.

What keeps us convinced: their standards grow along with our needs. When the topic of visibility in AI answers emerged, a proposal was already on the table before we even had to ask for it.
