How VMLY&R has earned $6.88 million more for United Rentals

In the construction industry, the job moves at the speed of your equipment. Turning a profit can be hard when faced with smaller budgets, tighter margins and less time to train. The industry relies on companies like United Rentals for reliable equipment, affordable solutions and personal face-to-face interaction with trusted branch representatives. However, United Rentals needed to find a way to help branch reps keep pace with an evolving industry and stay top of mind with their well-established customer base. We needed to bring a traditional customer service industry into the digital age. We set out to help United Rentals leverage data insights and technology to keep customers equipped, empowered and engaged on the jobsite and with the brand. The three Discoverability teams — Organic Search, Paid Search and Performance Content — partnered to create powerful, data-driven search campaigns and digital content in order to drive visibility, traffic and conversions for United Rentals.
