Social media for machinery, vehicles & technical companies
Social media for machinery and technical products.
on:LAND develops and manages social media for manufacturers, dealers and technical companies. We plan topics and formats, produce the content, handle publishing and community management, and continuously develop the channels. Depending on the brief, we support individual campaigns or take responsibility for ongoing channel management across multiple platforms.
A social media channel needs more than regular posts.
For technical products, the topics are usually already there: new machines, customer applications, product details, service, trade shows, people in the company or questions from the market. The challenge is to turn these into continuous content that fits the platform and is relevant to the target audience. That is exactly where on:LAND comes in – from topic planning through production to publishing and ongoing development.

What social media can achieve
What should social media achieve for your company?
01
Make products easy to understand.
Explain technical differences, applications and product benefits so prospects understand what makes a product relevant.
02
Make your work and expertise visible.
Show projects, real-world applications and services that hardly anyone outside the company gets to see.
03
Stay present as a brand.
Instead of appearing only around trade shows or product launches, remain consistently visible.
04
Let practice speak for itself.
Customers, users and real applications add credible experience to the manufacturer's perspective.
05
Become more tangible as an employer.
Show people and everyday work – without turning the channel into a pure recruiting page.
06
Support campaigns precisely.
Back products, events or selected audiences with organic and paid reach.
Hands-on platform experience
We don't just advise on social media. We built it ourselves.
Our social media experience began in 2011 with AgrartechnikHD. Topic planning, production, publishing, community management and analysis are still handled entirely in-house there.
That means we experience first-hand which topics occupy technical audiences, how content works on different platforms and how channels develop over the years. That experience flows into client projects – not as a rigid formula, but where it fits the specific task.
Not every company needs the same model. We have been supporting KUMM Technik continuously since the end of 2020. For FORTUNA, by contrast, we developed a clearly defined social media communication around AGRITECHNICA.
Continuous social media communication
KUMM Technik
Since the end of 2020, we have managed social media communication for KUMM Technik across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. Topic planning, content production, publishing, community management and paid social interact continuously.
For FORTUNA, we combined social-first content, editorial planning, publishing and community management into a campaign around AGRITECHNICA. Regional Meta ads complemented the organic communication during the trade show.
Take on content, topic development or campaigns wherever extra capacity or specialised production is needed.
02
Run social media continuously.
Combine planning, content, copy, publishing and ongoing management when internal time or resources are short.
03
Deliver focused campaigns.
Support product launches, trade shows or other occasions for a defined period.
No rigid packages. We first look at what already works internally and where on:LAND adds something useful.
From topic to learning
From the topic idea to the running channel.
01
Strategy & topic planning
We look at the product, audience, channels and objective, then develop a topic plan that aligns content, formats and platforms.
02
Content production
Video, photography, copy and social-first content are produced with their later use in mind – for organic posts just as much as for paid-social creatives.
03
Publishing & community management
Content is published channel by channel, comments and messages are handled, and exchange with the community is actively managed.
04
Analysis & development
Reach, watch time, interactions and campaign results show which topics and formats should be developed further.
05
Paid social
For product launches, trade shows, regional audiences or lead objectives, we supplement organic content with targeted paid reach.
We plan content production and social media together.
That way, content isn't adapted to a platform in the edit – it is created with its later use already in view.
Existing footage and photography can be used alongside newly produced content.
Organic as the foundation. Paid for specific objectives.
01
Organic communication as the foundation.
Continuous presence comes from content that fits the platform and the audience. We build channels on that basis rather than having to put budget behind every post.
02
Paid social for specific objectives.
We use paid social where additional reach or a specific objective is needed – for product launches, trade shows, regional audiences, website traffic or leads. We develop creatives for each campaign rather than simply adding budget to existing organic posts.
03
Learn from the results.
Reach, watch time, interactions, clicks or campaign results show which topics and formats deserve to be developed further.
Specialised in technical topics
For companies whose work has to be explained and shown.
on:LAND works above all where products, applications or workflows cannot be explained in a single sentence – with machinery, vehicles and technical products as much as with companies whose work happens outdoors and on real projects.
01Do we need a social media strategy in place first?
No. We start by reviewing your existing channels, content and objectives, and then develop a fitting topic, format and channel strategy together.
02Can on:LAND produce content only, while we publish ourselves?
Yes. on:LAND can act purely as a production partner for your marketing team, or take on additional tasks such as planning and publishing.
03Can on:LAND manage our social media channels completely?
Yes. Depending on how we work together, topic planning, content production, copy, publishing and ongoing channel management can all be handled by on:LAND.
04Where do enough topics come from in the long run?
From products, projects, applications, customers, employees, trade shows and everyday business. The decisive part is selecting the topics that are genuinely relevant for your audience.
05Which social media platforms make sense for our company?
That depends on your audience, communication goals, existing content and internal resources. Not every company needs to be present on every platform.
06Can we run just a single campaign?
Yes. Social media can be used for a limited period, for example around a product launch, a trade show or another specific communication task.
07Does on:LAND also handle paid social?
Yes. Organic content can be complemented with targeted paid social where useful – for specific audiences, regions, products or campaigns.
