Sobel Network Shipping Co., Inc. is an international freight forwarder that enables companies to respond to global opportunities, connect with new suppliers and customers, and leverage creative shipping solutions that take the complexity out of doing business globally. Sobel provides world-class, turnkey shipping solutions that optimize the shipping process while saving their clients time and money along the way.

Marketing Eye developed a marketing strategy for Sobel to identify their challenges and pain points, allowing our team to develop a deeper understanding of who Sobel is and who they are trying to reach. Marketing Eye worked with Sobel to recreate their current sales deck and sales presentations, giving them a professional and modern style that captured the eye. After that, our team began to develop a plan for their website, rewriting copy, updating the design, and completely redeveloping the entire site itself. Sobel's new website is a modern take on their years of experience, showing their clients exactly how they operate in the complex industry of logistics. When Sobel opened their offices in Chicago and Miami, Marketing Eye leveraged their media relationships to get the appropriate media coverage with a published interview as an appearance from CEO Brian Wills on a major logistics podcast. Marketing Eye continues to develop weekly blog content and social content to continue to build Sobel's brand identity. 

Translating your brand visually is no small feat. Graphic design is a powerful tool that not only showcases your brand colors and logo, but it tells a visual story of your company and your industry.

Without a professional, high-quality visual presence, the quality of your products and services won’t matter much. When you partner with Marketing Eye, we help your business break through the clutter and stand out from the crowd.
