Overview
A Leading Cloud-Based Data Intelligence Platform that helps businesses analyze, manage, and build data and AI solutions at scale needed a reliable demand generation strategy to fuel its global growth. Working with an agency and a variety of lead generation partners, the marketing team had to navigate complex campaign execution across regions, job roles, and strategic audience segments.
They needed a partner capable of not just generating leads, but doing so at scale and with impeccable responsiveness. With a strong emphasis on targeting specific personas within niche target account lists across markets in North America and EMEA, efficiency and lead quality were paramount.
Challenge
While the marketing team was consistently running content syndication campaigns, they faced several core challenges:
Lead Quality
It was crucial to deliver high-quality, sales-qualified leads from carefully defined persona and job title targets, including roles like engineers and architects.
Sales Enablement
Historically, the sales team was reluctant to act on content syndication leads, viewing them as less qualified. Marketing had to correct that misconception by increasing conversions and influencing pipeline.
Scalability
The marketing team required the ability to scale even with hyper-specific account lists in concentrated geographic locations.
Solution
The marketing team turned to OUTREACH, BlueWhale Research’s signature lead generation program, to support multiple content syndication campaigns spanning North America and EMEA.
Through precise persona and account targeting, strategic implementation, and consistent collaboration, OUTREACH delivered results quickly and seamlessly.
