We are passionate about empowering innovative companies that aspire to make a difference. When the CEO of LiXiA approached us, their vision was clear – they had developed a groundbreaking solution using the Internet of Things (IoT) designed to reduce risks, save lives, and ultimately build smarter, safer cities.
LiXiA needed a strategic partner to help them commercialise their technology, grow brand awareness, and secure the adoption of their solution across markets. This was the beginning of a great collaboration that showcased the power of strategy, innovation, and storytelling.
The challenge: Translating the tech into relatable value
LiXiA’s IoT technology was a market first in its field, offering real-time data in relation to aging at-risk built infrastructure, flash floods, cyclones and other natural disasters. This was aimed at providing government agencies, companies and the public with information they had never had access to before. Its potential benefits were enormous – equipping authorities with actionable insights to prevent damage, reduce risks to infrastructure, provide longer evacuation timeframes, and save lives. Yet, as with any cutting-edge innovation, reaching the right audience and translating technical brilliance into clear value propositions required a focused and dynamic approach.
One challenge was helping stakeholders to see the immediate benefits of the solution. Despite the pressing need for smarter cities and dynamic emergency responses, institutions often rely on legacy systems and static data. The key to unlocking LiXiA’s success was not just in promoting the groundbreaking technology but in articulating the real-world impact it could deliver to communities.
The solution: A strategy to generate market awareness and sales
To help LiXiA gain market traction, we developed a strategy that transformed their innovative technology into a compelling, real-world solution for key decision-makers. While the potential of their IoT solution was clear, it needed a stronger narrative and one that focused on measurable outcomes rather than technical complexity.
Key steps in the solution
1. Strategic workshop
We started with a deep-dive workshop involving LiXiA’s CEO, board, and key team members. This helped us uncover core challenges, define key audiences, and articulate the unique benefits of their technology. Together, we crystallised their value drivers into a clear mission.
We use infrastructure, IoT and data insights to create a safer, informed community for the future.
2. Sales and Marketing Plan creation
We developed a strategic sales and marketing plan that aligned with LiXiA’s business objectives. This included:
- Crafting a human-centered narrative that emphasised real-world impact. Specifically, saving lives, reducing costs, and better emergency preparedness.
- Positioning LiXiA’s solution as a proven and trusted technology, backed by data demonstrating its ability to deliver earlier flood warnings and actionable insights.
3. Improving brand messaging
We refined LiXiA’s messaging, shifting the focus from technical language to relatable benefits. By clearly communicating how the technology helps government, private organisations, and emergency services, we made it more accessible, engaging, and compelling for decision-makers.
4. Digital presence overhaul
LiXiA’s website was redesigned to serve as a powerful marketing tool, effectively communicating their mission, technology, and real-world impact. This strengthened credibility and engagement.
5. Sales and marketing assets development
To support business development efforts, we created a suite of professional, visually compelling marketing materials, including:
- Promotional videos that clearly explain how the technology works and what LiXiA stood for.
- Pitch presentations and information packs as leave-behind material for prospective customers.
These tools gave the business development team a strong foundation to engage prospective customers with confidence, providing stakeholders with the clarity needed to make informed decisions.
Powering smarter, safer communities
LiXiA’s IoT technology is more than just innovation – it’s a transformative solution shaping the cities of tomorrow. By providing real-time, actionable data, to for example councils and emergency services, people can respond with speed and precision, mitigating risks and safeguarding critical infrastructure. From flood preparedness to strategic urban planning, their technology empowers decision-makers to create safer, more resilient communities.
Our collaboration helped refine LiXiA’s vision into a market-ready reality, positioning them as a leader in intelligent city management. With a compelling brand story and targeted outreach, their solutions are gaining traction among their target market and setting a new standard for sustainable urban development.
The future of smart cities is unfolding, and LiXiA is leading the way. At Small and Mighty Group, we believe in the power of innovation to drive meaningful change. If your company is ready to scale, grow, and lead, we’re here to make it happen.
