Branding
Before i9media’s engagement in 2023, Skimlite’s branding lacked consistency and cohesion across channels, with outdated visuals and no unified system guiding communications. i9media led a full brand overhaul, delivering a refined logo, modern color scheme, defined typography, custom graphical elements, and a comprehensive brand style guide and brand book. We also developed a complete template system for both B2B and B2C use. The result was a cohesive, premium brand platform that modernized Skimlite’s image and elevated its overall market presence.
Creative
Skimlite had no creative system—no templates, no design team, just inconsistent visuals. i9media overhauled everything: B2B and B2C newsletters, a mobile-friendly website, stationery, social media templates, sales decks, digital ads, in-store displays, event booths, and more. Result: a polished, premium brand presence across every touchpoint that elevated perception online and offline.
Website
Before i9media’s engagement, Skimlite’s website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and structurally broken in key areas.
Product information was incomplete, the design lacked visual appeal, and the backend system was cumbersome and inefficient to manage. i9media led a full website rebuild, delivering a modern, visually compelling design with fully developed product detail pages and an intuitive, user-friendly backend. We also managed the complete migration from BigCommerce to Shopify, creating a more scalable, flexible, and performance-driven ecommerce foundation for future growth.
Social Media
Before i9media’s engagement, Skimlite’s social media presence was inconsistent and largely inactive, with no structured content strategy in place. i9media implemented a multi-platform content calendar across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, aligning all channels with the newly refreshed brand identity to create a cohesive and professional presence.
Through consistent publishing, improved visual standards, and strategic messaging, Skimlite experienced a 40% increase in total audience, a 39% increase in impressions, and a 205% increase in total engagements—significantly strengthening brand visibility and community interaction.
Newsletters
Before i9media’s engagement, Skimlite had no structured email marketing program in place, leaving a key owned communication channel untapped. i9media established and built this channel from the ground up, implementing a strategic email framework that included a branded welcome series, ongoing B2B dealer updates, and targeted outreach campaigns to tradeshow attendees driving appointment bookings. This initiative created a direct, scalable line of communication with both prospects and partners, strengthening dealer relationships and supporting sales activation efforts.
Media Production
Before i9media's engagement, Skimlite lacked a centralized media library—with limited product photography and no organized or consistent imagery to support its marketing and sales efforts. i9media conceptualized and executed a multi-day professional photoshoot to build a comprehensive brand media library, managing the full production process from pre-production planning and talent coordination through on-site direction and post-production editing. The result was a robust catalog of hundreds of high-quality, on-brand images, providing Skimlite with a scalable visual foundation to support digital, print, ecommerce, and sales initiatives.

Copywriting
Before i9media’s engagement, Skimlite lacked the internal bandwidth to consistently produce high-quality marketing copy across channels, resulting in gaps across the website, social media, and email communications. i9media stepped in to develop strategic, brand-aligned messaging across all key touchpoints, including website content, social media posts, and newsletters. In addition, we authored educational, purpose-driven blog content built with a focused SEO strategy—targeting specific keywords to improve search visibility and drive long-term organic traffic growth. The result was a consistent brand voice supported by content designed not only to inform, but to rank and convert.
Systems & Integrations
Skimlite had no analytics infrastructure—not even GA4 tracking. i9media installed and configured GA4, integrated it with the website and newsletter platforms, and established baseline performance tracking. We also organized company assets in a centralized Google Drive, improving operational efficiency. Result: a trackable marketing ecosystem with structured internal workflows.
B2B
Before i9media’s engagement, Skimlite had no structured B2B marketing strategy or supporting materials in place.
i9media built a comprehensive B2B marketing ecosystem, developing a full suite of branded assets including trade show booth designs, POP displays, flyers, social content, and dedicated B2B newsletters. We activated LinkedIn as a strategic channel to engage dealers and industry partners, while launching ongoing email communications to both existing and prospective accounts to maintain visibility and strengthen relationships. In addition, we created a centralized dealer portal for easy access to brand assets, improving partner enablement and professionalizing Skimlite’s wholesale presence.
