GENERALIST AGENCIES ARE BUILT FOR THE WRONG BUYER

Most marketing agencies know how to generate traffic and impressions. That works for consumer brands with short buying cycles. It doesn't work for a procurement manager evaluating a machining supplier, a logistics director vetting a 3PL, or an operations executive sourcing oilfield equipment.

Industrial buyers research methodically. They verify certifications, operational specifics, and technical capabilities before contacting. By the time they reach out, the decision is often already narrowed to two or three candidates. The question is whether your company makes that shortlist.

Generalist agencies measure success in clicks and impressions. Those metrics don't reflect how industrial buyers make decisions. The result is marketing spend that produces activity without producing contracts.

FADA®: A FRAMEWORK BUILT
FOR COMPLEX B2B SALES

FADA® is Mansfield's trademarked marketing framework built specifically for industrial and B2B companies. It sequences marketing investment in the order that technical buyers actually evaluate vendors, not in the order that's easiest to sell as a service.

Most industrial companies have attempted pieces of this in isolation. Running awareness campaigns before Foundation is solid wastes budget. Investing in Differentiation before the right buyers find you produces nothing. Sequence is not optional. It is the strategy.

FADA was developed from working with industrial and B2B companies that had tried conventional marketing without results. The framework reflects how industrial buyers actually research and select vendors.

We are an Industrial specialty contractor introducing a new business line and needed a marketing firm to help develop a brochure for several trade shows in less than thirty days. We interviewed several companies and Mansfield was the only one that NEVER said No... The team at Mansfield sure do know what they’re doing! They made it easy and truly exceeded our expectations. Very responsive and spot on. Don’t waste time with the rest when you can have the BEST! Positive Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I have been dealing with marketing companies for 39 years and Mansfield Marketing is the best I have ever dealt with. Every time I make a call to my representative she is there to answer my call and I don't need to leave a message. They have performed any task that I asked them very promptly and professionally. They have an excellent Dashboard that keeps track of all my statistics. They don't promise you anything they can't deliver. You can't go wrong by using Mansfield Marketing.

Doug Mansfield has spent 16 years working with industrial and B2B companies across the United States. That focus is not incidental. It is the premise of what Mansfield Marketing does and why it produces different results than generalist agencies.

Between client engagements and his work as an SBA business advisor, Doug has conducted over 700 combined consultations. At that volume, patterns become obvious. Problems that feel unique from the inside follow predictable paths that only become visible when you have seen them repeat across hundreds of companies in different industries and at different stages. When you hire Mansfield, you get direct access to that diagnostic experience applied to your specific situation.

Doug stays on the cutting edge of marketing, search, and AI technology and puts these skills to work for clients. More than 20 active certifications from institutions including Vanderbilt, Google, and IBM keep Mansfield's approach aligned with where search technology and digital marketing are actually going, not where they were five years ago.
