When entering a new sector, a business will be competing against incumbents, and companies with brand new solutions to offer.

Building profile, standing out and engaging the right decision makers is crucial.

To help businesses who are changing course and need support in shaping marketing for their new journeys, we’re hosting the free Marketing for diversification – a new direction needs a new approach webinar.

Our industrial marketing specialists will be:

• Tackling the common challenges businesses face when diversifying, from building an evidence base to attracting attention in a new market
• Sharing guidance on creating a marketing strategy for diversification – and ensuring that the key building blocks are in place
• Providing advice on brand identity and messaging when your business is changing lanes.
• Examining how to approach marketing tactics, when engaging new audiences.

The webinar will also include a case study on market diversification, with insights shared from a business who’ve been through the process.

We will be attending the UK National Defence Procurement & Supply Chain Summit 2026, which brings together the organisations responsible for delivering the UK’s Defence Investment Plan.

The event will help organisations understand how policy commitments are translating into practical routes to market, supply chain opportunities and commercial growth.

• Taking a deep dive into new sector opportunities and trends – and how to position your business to take advantage of these
• Sharing insights into the renewables media and network landscape
