Digital AgencyCrowdlinker case study

Crowdlinker needed a steady flow of qualified leads.

Crowdlinker is a product studio that helps large organizations build and ship products faster. Its buyers are C-suite leaders who run website revamps and new technology projects.

Growth Rhino's team ran Crowdlinker's new-business program as one system: cold outreach, a podcast, online events and email marketing, built for buyers who take time to trust a vendor.

Timeline
2020 to 2024. The results below cover one 12-month period inside it.
Before
  • Leads came in some months and not others
  • Many growth experiments, none that kept running
  • Buyers who would not hire a vendor from one cold email
After
  • A podcast that invites prospects to speak and starts the relationship
  • Each episode reused across email, LinkedIn and content
  • Online events and email marketing that keep buyers close until they are ready
  • A clearer picture of what its buyers need, from the experiments we ran
◇ What they had

The problem

Crowdlinker could not get leads on a consistent basis. It had tried many ways to drive growth before, and none of them had solved the problem.

What we ran

  1. 01

    We paired a podcast with outreach and events

    Crowdlinker's buyers would not hire a vendor from a single cold email. They work with vendors they trust, and Crowdlinker competes in a crowded market. So we combined cold outreach, a podcast, online events and email marketing. We invited prospects to speak on the podcast, which started the relationship, then reused each episode across every channel. The goal was to show Crowdlinker's expertise every month and let prospects get in touch when they were ready.

◇ Results

What changed

Crowdlinker's program produced over $2M in sourced pipeline and over 50 opportunities in one 12-month period.

Crowdlinker is one of our longest engagements. The median client stays nine months.

◇ In their words
"We tried doing all sorts of things in the past to drive growth. Growth Rhino was able to crack this problem and build a scalable system that works. We were able to gather insights from all these experiments. These findings allowed us to understand our prospects and customers more and build an outbound program that fits their needs and requirements."
