Cardinal Machine Company

Showcasing Automation Expertise With Video

Cardinal Machine Company needed more than a few standalone videos. They needed a connected campaign that could explain their capabilities, build trust with manufacturers, support sales conversations, and generate new opportunities.

Process Overview

Corporate Video

We created versatile video assets that give Cardinal multiple ways to communicate its expertise. The campaign included a company overview, a behind-the-scenes look at the collaborative design process, and content highlighting the people and experience behind every automation project. Each video was designed to support Cardinal’s website, landing pages, social media platforms, email campaigns, and sales outreach.

The Challenge

Cardinal Needed More Visibility—and More Ways to Connect

Cardinal had the experience, engineering capabilities, and customer success stories to stand out in a competitive automation market. The challenge was turning that expertise into content that prospects could quickly understand and trust. The company needed a stronger way to:

Reach manufacturers actively considering automation
Explain a complex, highly collaborative sales process
Create a consistent pipeline of qualified opportunities

How We Helped Cardinal

A Connected Campaign Centered Around Video Marketing

We developed a full campaign that combined strategy, video production, website content, paid promotion, and lead nurturing. Instead of producing videos that would live in one place, we created a reusable content system designed to support Cardinal across the entire buyer journey.

The content was then carried across landing pages, email, paid media, social, and sales outreach to help educate prospects and generate new opportunities.

Answering Questions Before the First Conversation

Short Videos Built Around Real Buyer Questions

We created a series of focused Q&A videos addressing the questions manufacturers commonly ask when evaluating industrial automation. The videos help Cardinal educate prospects earlier, simplify complex topics, and build confidence before a sales conversation begins. Each piece can be used independently across landing pages, social media, email follow-up, sales outreach, and customer support.

Building Trust Through Customer Stories

Capture Customer Testimonials Better Than Before

To show what the Cardinal experience looks like from the customer’s point of view, we filmed a testimonial with an engineer from Dauch Corporation during a custom machine build.

The video brings Cardinal’s value proposition to life through a real customer story—highlighting the collaboration, communication, responsiveness, and technical expertise that helped move the project forward. Rather than simply telling prospects what makes Cardinal different, the testimonial lets a customer explain it in their own words.
