THE CLIENT
Orbica is a pioneering geospatial PaaS company, dedicated to revolutionising the way businesses unlock value from their geospatial data.

HIGHLIGHTS
CHALLENGES
Carving a Niche in a Competitive Tech Ecosystem
In a landscape dominated by well-established brands, Orbica faced the daunting task of effectively communicating the unique value proposition of their novel geospatial platform.
They needed to resonate with a diverse range of decision-makers, from tech leaders to business strategists.
Launching a brand around a yet-to-be-released product presented us with a unique set of challenges. We had to simultaneously build excitement and shift the marketplace’s perspective on geospatial data management.
The primary challenge was to convince these stakeholders to transition from their existing tech solutions to Orbica’s innovative, cloud-based PaaS offering.
Overcoming preconceptions and truly shifting the narrative was, without a doubt, one of our most significant hurdles.
Orbica knew they’d need a strong brand message and value proposition to not only stand out in a crowded marketplace, but to carve out a whole new niche within an established industry.
They also knew that they needed to find outside experts who had the industry knowledge, skills, and experience to create and execute a cohesive content marketing strategy, so that they could focus on what they do best: creating a revolutionary geospatial platform.
“Recognising the magnitude of our vision, we understood the importance of seeking external expertise. We needed seasoned professionals with the right industry insights to craft and drive a unified content marketing strategy.”

SOLUTION
Strategic Brand Storytelling and Comprehensive Content Marketing
In their comprehensive brand workshop, Tales Consulting delved into the core of Orbica’s brand, enabling them to identify and understand their target customers and their drivers.
This not only gave them complete clarity on their market stance but also played a pivotal role in shaping the platform’s evolution.
The brand workshop was pivotal. It not only crystallised our market stance but also directly influenced our platform’s evolution.
This clarity shaped both our external brand presentation and the very core of our platform development.
Recognising the power of content in influencing B2B buying decisions, Tales was then tasked with developing and executing Orbica’s content strategy, tailoring it to resonate with diverse audience segments.
This included the production of a captivating 24-episode video and audio podcast series, which involved creating compelling episode narratives, recording, and post-production editing.
To maximise reach and engagement, micro clips from these episodes were branded and disseminated widely on Orbica’s social media platforms, supported by professionally curated captions.
Tales also transformed the content from the episodes into insightful thought leadership articles to further bolster Orbica’s authoritative voice in the geospatial industry.
“Partnering with Tales Consulting was a gamechanger for us. Their deep understanding of GIS made the content creation process seamless, eliminating the usual hurdles of explaining industry concepts and nuances. Their tailored approach, from the brand workshop to the podcast series, perfectly aligned with our needs, amplifying our voice in the most authentic way.”
