Construction Equipment
SE10 is a specialist construction equipment communications agency with teams based in the UK, USA and Singapore. Our founders – former engineers turned construction trade journalists – saw a need for better storytelling in the heavy equipment sector and established the agency in 2002 to bridge the gap between subject matter experts (SMEs) and audiences by transforming complex technical information into engaging media pitches and content.
Since then, we have developed an extensive network of media covering construction equipment news across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. Some of these construction media contacts are old friends and colleagues from our own editing days. Other relationships we have built through client work and participating in major international exhibitions such as bauma or CONEXPO and smaller regional tradeshows like Hillhead in the UK.
Over the years, we have also expanded our expertise beyond media relations and written content creation for construction equipment manufacturers and suppliers. We now offer a range of digital PR and marketing services, including video content creation, social media management and lead generation campaigns. The fact that our first clients, Manitowoc and Volvo Construction Equipment, are still with us since day one is testament to our ability to evolve with market needs and consistently deliver valuable results.
