Product Marketing at Yokogawa

At Yokogawa, I took charge of spearheading a comprehensive launch strategy for the WT5000 precision power measurement platform. Tasked with orchestrating a successful launch, I developed the creative brief, content templates, and product collateral to serve as the foundation for all launch assets and briefed our press and PR agencies to amplify our message.

From crafting brochures, ebooks and blogs and to scripting videos and webinars, I developed and published thought leadership content across various channels on topics such as Electric Vehicle Testing, Electric Vehicle Efficiency, and Smart Grid Infrastructure and how precision measurements helped in these areas. I also briefed our global team and agencies giving them templates to ensure consistency in messaging, corporate identity and design. Furthermore, I coached our PR and Press teams, enhancing their content creation capabilities, and introduced a channel performance matrix to optimize budget allocation based on relevant impressions and conversions. Additionally, I represented Yokogawa at press events in Germany, Italy, and the UK, unveiling the WT5000 to the world.

  1. Developed Comprehensive Launch Assets: Crafted a creative brief, content templates, and product collateral, laying the groundwork for a successful launch. These assets served as the blueprint for all subsequent marketing efforts.
