Background

Descartes is a leading SaaS provider helping businesses optimize logistics, supply chain performance, and global trade compliance. With access to vast import/export data across industries, the company had the potential to be a go-to source for supply chain and economic reporting. Gregory was engaged to turn that raw data into real storytelling power.

Challenge

Despite having rich global trade insights, Descartes lacked a unified narrative or accessible format to share data with the media. Data requests were handled reactively, draining internal resources and missing opportunities to shape the news cycle. The goal was to transform Descartes’ intelligence into a proactive media strategy — and make the brand indispensable to top-tier journalists.

Solution

Gregory developed and launched the Global Shipping Report, a streamlined monthly report featuring key data points reporters regularly sought. We paired each report with a media alert campaign targeting business, supply chain, and economic journalists. By centralizing insights, simplifying data access, and providing timely context, we enabled faster media pickup and consistent executive visibility. The strategy turned Descartes into a trusted, go-to source for global shipping insights.
