Case Study: BMS CAT Scales Storytelling to Empower Marketers

Client Overview

Company: BMS CAT

Industry: Disaster Recovery, Restoration, and Construction Services

BMS CAT is a national leader in disaster recovery, restoration, and construction—trusted by industries from hospitality and healthcare to logistics and law enforcement. Their reputation rests on delivering under pressure, helping communities rebuild after fires, floods, and facility emergencies.

The Challenge

BMS CAT’s marketing team consisted of just one person—Director of Marketing Alexis Dawson—responsible for capturing powerful, authentic client stories from across the country.

Key Challenges:

• Capturing customer testimonials across multiple industries without constant travel.
• Enabling field teams and clients to contribute without creating bottlenecks.
• Producing more high-value marketing output than a typical one-person team could handle.
• Maximizing the lifetime value of each story by repurposing it across multiple formats.

The Strategic Opportunity

MarketScale identified that BMS CAT could turn its nationwide client and field network into an always-on source of high-quality content by using MarketScale.

Strategic Levers:

• UGC-Driven Capture: Field teams and customers upload visual assets directly into MarketScale.
• Remote & In-Studio Interviews: Capturing content without Alexis traveling to every site.
• Multi-Format Output: Turning one shoot into case studies, social clips, and internal morale videos.
• Centralized Workflow: One platform for intake, editing, and distribution.

Campaign Execution

1. Content Intake – Field teams and customers uploaded photos, drone footage, and even disaster-in-progress videos straight into MarketScale."The general manager is sending me daily pictures, drone footage, even video of the flood coming in. I can get all of that through MarketScale and turn it into something powerful for our channels." – Alexis Dawson
2. Multi-Use Campaign Builds – From a single testimonial shoot, BMS CAT created a long-form video, multiple social clips, and internal communications content."With everything coming into MarketScale, I’m not limited to a single testimonial. We can turn the same footage into a case study, social clips, even customer soundbite reels—without chasing people down for files." – Alexis Dawson
3. Distributed Content Creation – Regional managers used MarketScale to produce local content, while Alexis maintained brand consistency."Our general managers want more social content, so I push it back on them—use the tool. They can create videos for their region, and I can get them on our channels. That way we’re both happy." – Alexis Dawson
