DIRECT STRUCTURES

Building exactly what you need.

THE STORY

Direct Structures, Inc. (DSI) is a trusted, family-owned business specializing in custom steel structures. For over 20 years, they have provided durable, high-quality buildings to commercial businesses, municipalities, and individuals across the Midwest. DSI’s commitment to craftsmanship and customer service has earned them a strong reputation—but as their industry evolved, their digital presence needed to keep pace.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Despite their expertise, DSI faced stagnant growth due to an outdated website and an underperforming digital advertising strategy. Their brand voice wasn’t clearly defined, and their online presence wasn’t converting visitors into customers. Their sales team was inundated with Facebook messages from leads that weren’t intending to buy. Recognizing the need for a transformation, they partnered with Intersection to modernize their brand, revamp their website, and launch a strategic digital advertising campaign that would drive high-quality leads.

THE PLAYBOOK

Our creative team developed a comprehensive plan to elevate DSI’s brand and online presence, focusing on three core objectives:

Strengthen brand messaging

to establish trust and highlight DSI’s expertise.

Redesign the website

for a seamless user experience and improved lead generation.

Implement a targeted
digital ad campaign

to drive engagement and conversions.
