Westfill Group

Full marketing and communication strategy, and execution

Building a unified digital presence for a mining group and it’s diverse subsidiary companies.

Overview

Westfill Group, a leading conglomerate in the underground mining and industrial services sector, consisting of multiple subsidiaries spanning mining solutions, software, recruitment and industrial products.

Despite a strong industry reputation, Westfill faced challenges in creating a unified digital presence. Each subsidiary operated with fragmented branding, inconsistent online visibility, and limited engagement across digital channels.

They needed a partner who could consolidate their digital strategy, attract top-tier mining talent, strengthen client connections and position Westfill as a leader across all aspects of mining services.

  • Talent competition: Recruiting skilled mining professionals online was proving difficult.
  • Event activation: Westfill wanted to maximise visibility at mining conferences and trade shows but lacked structured promotion.
