The Challenge

Strong product, no commercial engine

The client was a circular economy operator in recycled materials with a differentiated value proposition: high-quality recycled resin at a structural cost advantage during a period of virgin resin pricing volatility. The product was strong. The market timing was right.

But there was no outbound infrastructure, no content positioning the company in the market, and no systematic way to convert market conditions into commercial pipeline. The CEO was doing everything manually, sourcing every meeting through personal network and conference hallways.

The Approach

From market intelligence to qualified pipeline in 16 weeks

We didn't start with outbound. We started with insight. The first step was building a market intelligence thesis strong enough to lead every conversation, then we built the infrastructure to deliver it at scale.

Weeks 1–2
Market Intelligence Build

Analyzed virgin resin pricing dynamics, mapped competitive landscape, identified the market disruption angle that became the campaign thesis.

Weeks 3–4
Content & Positioning

Designed "The Window" series: branded market intelligence briefs that positioned the CEO as the authority on pricing disruption in recycled materials.

Weeks 5–8
Outbound Buildout

Built the target list, designed messaging sequences, configured CRM and pipeline tracking. Every touchpoint led with market intelligence, not a sales pitch.

Weeks 8–16
Pipeline Execution

Executed multi-channel outreach across LinkedIn, email, and direct channels. Converted market intelligence into qualified conversations and commercial pipeline.

The Campaign

“The Window”: turning market disruption into pipeline

Virgin resin pricing was volatile. Recycled alternatives were becoming cost-competitive for the first time. We built a branded content series, “The Window,” that turned this market disruption into the client's commercial narrative.

Every piece of content led with intelligence, not a sales pitch. The series positioned the CEO as the market authority on recycled materials pricing, and every engagement opened a door to a commercial conversation.

Outcome

$2.7M+ in qualified pipeline from zero commercial infrastructure

In 16 weeks, we took the client from no outbound infrastructure to a functioning commercial engine generating qualified enterprise pipeline. The “Window” series continues to drive inbound inquiries months after the initial campaign.

This is what strategy-to-execution looks like. We didn't hand off a deck. We built the market intelligence, created the content, designed the outbound infrastructure, and ran it until the pipeline was real.
