Turning Customs Pain into Financial Gain

How Meridian Freight Solutions Generated 847 Qualified Leads During Regulatory Chaos
The Challenge: Meridian Freight Solutions, a mid-sized UK freight forwarder, faced an unprecedented challenge in 2021. Post-Brexit customs regulations had created a maze of compliance requirements that many shippers struggled to navigate. While this presented a business opportunity, Meridian needed to establish itself as the trusted expert among the chaos of conflicting information.
The Solution: The Loadstar developed a three-part webinar series titled "Brexit Customs Mastery: Your Roadmap Through Regulatory Reality." Meridian's senior customs director partnered with The Loadstar's editorial team to create content that addressed:
- Real-world case studies of customs challenges and solutions
- Step-by-step compliance frameworks for different trade routes
- Interactive Q&A sessions with live problem-solving
Campaign Execution
- Duration: 6 weeks (3 webinars + follow-up content)
- Promotion: Featured placement across The Loadstar's 65,000-reader database
- Content: Pre-event articles, webinar recordings, and downloadable compliance guides
- Follow-up: Automated nurture sequence with exclusive Meridian insights
