The mission

Proof that the embedded model works.

Granite House is a premium B2B manufacturing business – the kind of company where the products are complex, the buying cycles are long, and the decisions involve serious money.

The problem

Marketing in this space is not about quick wins. It is about building authority, staying visible, and being the name that comes to mind when the right opportunity arises.

Granite House became Sood’s largest retained client. Not through a pitch. Through a relationship that grew because Sood consistently demonstrated that it understood the business.

The solution

This is a full-service marketing retainer – the most complete example of Sood’s embedded model in action:

  • Website design and development– a site built to reflect the quality and precision of Granite House’s products, with clear navigation for a technical B2B audience.
  • SEO and content strategy– building long-term organic visibility for a business where search terms are technical and competition comes from established national players.
  • Social media and content creation– showing the products, the process, and the people behind the brand in a way that builds credibility with decision-makers.
  • Events support– marketing around trade shows and industry events, making sure the brand presence extends beyond the digital.
  • Ongoing strategic advice– regular conversations about the business, not just the marketing. What competitors are doing. Where the opportunities are. What to prioritise next.

The relationship works because Sood does not treat Granite House as an account to service. It operates as an extension of their team. The kind of involvement where Sood knows the business well enough to spot opportunities and flag risks before being asked.

The results

The most meaningful outcome is the relationship itself. Multi-year. Growing. The kind of client who stays because the value is obvious and ongoing, not because of a contract.

For a business of this complexity, the commercial results compound over time. Stronger search visibility. A more authoritative online presence. Marketing that reflects the quality of what Granite House actually does.
