Do you work with contract manufacturers or only OEMs?

Both. Contract manufacturers get ABM to OEM procurement; OEMs get channel-partner plus end-user demand.

What we deliver

Six manufacturing marketing services tailored to US industrial B2B

Industrial marketing is a specification-heavy, trade-show-anchored, procurement-driven category with export-control constraints. Our six-service delivery spine treats compliance and specification depth as core, not decoration.

1. Industrial-buyer SEO

Specification-driven search - part numbers, materials-of-construction, capacity ranges, standards references (ASME, ASTM, ANSI, MIL-STD). Content architecture built for the technical-buyer research pattern, not the D2C funnel.

2. Trade-show + digital integration

Pre-show account outreach, booth-visit conversion tracking, post-show nurture. Trade-show ROI reported end-to-end instead of measured on scanned-badge count alone.

3. Technical whitepaper distribution

Whitepapers, case studies and application notes distributed through the industrial-buyer publications that engineers still read. Gated with lightweight consent so leads reach the CRM without repelling readers.

4. LinkedIn ABM to procurement

Account list build for target OEMs, primes and Tier-1 suppliers. Decision-maker mapping across procurement, engineering and sourcing. LinkedIn Ads sequenced for the industrial-buyer research pattern.

5. ITAR/EAR content review

Export-controlled specifications flagged and gated behind jurisdiction-appropriate access. Distribution lists scoped by country and end-use to keep advertising and content within export-control boundaries.

6. Employer branding for skilled trades

OSHA-informed workplace-safety messaging, apprentice-recruitment content, and paid campaigns targeted at skilled trades in DFW and the broader Sun Belt manufacturing corridor.

The team behind your account

Every diagnostic is led by a founder.
You'll know their names before the engagement begins.

ICG was built by three IIT BHU engineers who entered healthcare marketing with a specific intent: to build the tools that didn't exist and run the campaigns that most agencies couldn't. When you book a diagnostic, Rohit or Abhash leads it personally. Not an account manager. Not a senior executive. The people who built what you're evaluating.

The ICG team — 60+ healthcare marketing specialists at Gurgaon HQ

60+ specialists.
One growth engine.

Performance marketers, analysts, AI engineers, content strategists, and operations specialists — all healthcare-only. Headquartered in Gurgaon since 2018.

Rohit's first question in every diagnostic: "When you ask your agency why patients aren't booking — what do they say?" He says the answer tells him more than any dashboard.

FAQ

Manufacturing marketing in the US - common questions

How do you scope ITAR and EAR into advertising and content?

Export-controlled specifications are flagged during content review. Distribution lists exclude embargoed and restricted countries where applicable. Advertising audiences are geo-scoped to jurisdictions where the item is exportable, and gated technical content is fenced behind country and end-use verification.

Do you handle trade-show pre-show and post-show marketing?

Yes. Account list build for target attendees, pre-show LinkedIn and email outreach, booth-visit conversion tracking, and a post-show nurture sequence tied to the CRM. Trade-show ROI reported against sourced pipeline, not scanned-badge count.

How do you handle Buy American and country-of-origin claims?

Claim review against FTC country-of-origin rules and the specific programme claims (Buy American, Buy America, DFARS-compliant). Substantiation documentation retained in the marketing operations layer so claims can be defended if challenged.

Can you produce technical whitepapers and application notes?

Yes - working with your engineering team as subject-matter experts. Whitepapers and application notes are ghost-written and reviewed by the engineering lead of record. Distribution through the industrial-buyer publications engineers actually read, gated lightly to capture leads without repelling readers.

Do you work with contract manufacturers or only branded OEMs?

Both. Contract manufacturers get an account-based motion focused on procurement decision-makers at target OEMs. Branded OEMs get a mix of channel-partner enablement, end-user demand generation and specifier outreach depending on channel structure.

What is a typical manufacturing engagement cost?

Retainers are custom-scoped per engagement · from Rs 20,000/month equivalent (approx USD 250 / AUD 370). Trade-show-heavy programmes and multi-country export campaigns scale up from there.
