Background:

Breaking into the United States software engineering market in 2023 was no small feat. Euvic, Inc. - a US-based technology solutions company specializing in software engineering and system design – needed to navigate one of the world’s most competitive landscapes.  

By leveraging US-based leadership and top-tier engineering talent from Poland and Ukraine, Euvic helps clients—from startups to large enterprises—overcome software challenges, scale intelligently, and innovate rapidly. 

But to succeed in the US, Euvic needed more than its world-class Central European engineering talent to attract clients; it needed a brand and marketing strategy as sharp and sophisticated as the solutions it delivered. The team was moving fast and needed everything from core positioning and a brand identity to a website and sales-ready collateral.

Challenge: Being Heard in a Crowded Market

The US software engineering services market is fiercely competitive. Entrenched giants dominate the field and new entrants continuously try to stand out in a sea of similar claims. Differentiation and credibility were critical, as potential clients demanded both technical expertise and clear evidence of value, scalability, and reliability. 

Euvic faced the significant challenge of building a competitive US presence from scratch. They needed to: 

• Refine their global positioning to resonate with the US market.

• Establish a consistent and credible brand identity that conveys trust and reliability.

• Create high performance assets like a website, case studies, and dynamic collateral.

• Produce sales-ready materials for a rapidly expanding sales team that needs to show up perfectly polished.

Without a strategic and cohesive marketing program, Euvic risked falling short of its sales goals or attracting projects that didn’t align with their vision or capabilities —jeopardizing the very growth it sought to achieve.
