Established in 1995, ResourceBank is a quality focused HR and recruitment partner with an excellent reputation amongst its long-standing client base but lacked the market presence of larger competitors. When MESO were introduced to ResourceBank, the business had developed a wide service portfolio incorporating some expert “added value” services. However, there was a lack of understanding within the business of the value of the services and a lack of clear marketing strategy. New client developed relied on effective networking and direct sales approaches and there was a lack of awareness, understanding and market presence.

Following an initial audit of marketing activity, MESO was contracted to manage a re-branding project and the establishment of an effective marketing strategy. Following successful completion of the rebranding project, MESO was then retained to provide a full service marketing activity plan which included:

New responsive website redesign & redevelopment
