From Penzing to Port Elizabeth — Building a global tech brand

The challenge

Jendamark Automation, a leader in assembly systems for the global automotive sector, was undergoing a transformation. With its focus shifting toward cutting-edge digital operating systems and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies, the company required a marketing strategy that matched its innovative approach.

But its digital presence told a different story.

Jendamark’s website was outdated, social media channels were underutilised, and internal communications were fragmented. Without an in-house marketing department, the company lacked the consistency and clarity to reflect its evolving brand promise — resulting in missed opportunities, inconsistent messaging, and weak visibility in the global tech space.

The solution

Having worked with Jendamark since 2016 on their Jendamark Junction magazine, GNL stepped into a broader role as the company’s full-service marketing and communications service provider.

From the ground up, we began reshaping Jendamark’s digital reputation — repositioning it as a global tech leader with human-centred values.

Key pillars of the strategy:

execution

The jendamark.io website is now a digital hub for global operations, consistently updated with fresh content — including news articles, video, podcasts, and case studies.

GNL manages the company’s publishing schedule across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube — averaging 2 to 4 posts per week, including content ideation, production, and strategic boosting.

Working closely with regional teams and the global leadership, GNL also continues to manage:

  • Public relations
  • Efficiency Edge newsletter
  • Internal communications
  • Lead generation collateral
  • Thought leadership features
