6. The road we’re on...
If brand positioning is about differentiating yourself from the
competition and offering something no one else can, then we’re
perhaps our own best case study.
With automotive experience since we started and recognising
the need to deliver real value to our clients, we stuck our flag
in the ground and claimed automotive, its supply chain and
aftermarket as our territory.
And so we built and built and built on that ground, always
developing deeper expertise and clearer understanding of the
industry. We’re still building now, still learning, still growing stronger
and expanding globally - and our clients benefit from all we
have learned.
Along the way we’ve passed many opportunities to wander into
other territories. As tempting as these may have been at the time,
they would have watered down, compromised and distracted us from
developing the expertise needed to achieve our goal;
To be the go-to agency for the automotive sector

7. What we’re all about...
Relevant
When we accept that change is inevitable, the need to remain
relevant becomes paramount.
So we drive our clients and ourselves to explore new territory,
adopt new technologies and where necessary, embrace the change
needed to remain relevant in an ever changing world.
Connected
We live in the connected world - digitally, professionally,
socially and internationally.
Being better connected gives us the knowledge, experience and the
culture to solve business problems better. And by connecting our
clients with their customers, we create better business opportunities
for everyone.
Driven
Driven is our industry – our only industry. With deep automotive
expertise, we’re able to see the bigger picture, understand your
problems and draw on experience to efficiently find the right solutions.
We are driven - to seek out new challenges, to continually improve,
to find and share success.

Cummins Inc. is a global power leader and the world’s largest
manufacturer of diesel engines. With global manufacturing

large scale communications campaigns in over 15 countries across
Europe and in 13 languages.
Taking the role of ‘Brand Stewards’, CMB work closely with
Cummins to enforce brand standards, build awareness and

carefully planned and executed marketing communications
that deliver key messages to customers, distributors, dealers,
stakeholders and internal employees.

information relating to the performance of marketing
activity for Cummins, we do feel this testimonial goes
some way to proving the value of the work we do...
CMB have contributed a great deal towards Cummins’ success
in Europe. Their expert support and creative thinking has ensured the
Cummins brand has been consistently and professionally represented
in all our marketing communications. By maintaining Cummins brand
integrity, CMB help us deliver our marketing messages more effectively
to customers and also internally to staff and stakeholders. The overall
