A new product, and no one assigned to find buyers.

Brandpilot, a pre-Series A MarTech company, came to Growth Rhino just after launching a new product, with a small internal team and no outreach resource. The buyers worth reaching were companies spending heavily on Google Search ads, eCommerce first.

Growth Rhino built Brandpilot a cold email lead channel in 2025 that produced 40 qualified leads in six months.

◇ What they had

Where Brandpilot started

Brandpilot's product cuts wasted Google Ads spend on branded search terms. It had just launched, and the small internal team had no one for sales or marketing outreach, so new leads were not coming in.

◇ What we ran · Target Account Pipeline + Lead Scoring & Data

We ranked accounts by search ad spend first

    What we ran

    Our team estimated each company's paid search ad spend with workflows built in Clay and data from the SEMrush API. That gave a rough view of each company's website traffic and ad budget. We put eCommerce companies first, because they usually spend heavily on search ads. The first message was a webinar invitation, sent by cold email to a tightly targeted list. An SDR then followed up with interested prospects one by one. Once a prospect showed real interest, the SDR proposed a pilot to give them a clear proof of concept.

◇ What changed

Brandpilot got a working lead channel in six months

The pipeline came from mid-to-large companies in the USA and Canada with heavy Google Search ad spend, reached through one channel: cold email.

The outreach also tested Brandpilot's messaging with its target audience, so the team learned which pitch worked before scaling it.
