Project Overview
Launching a new digital agency without an established network or referral base can make consistent lead generation difficult. LinkLoom helped a newly launched agency build a structured outbound growth system targeting startup founders across India.
Through LinkedIn outreach, personalised email campaigns and consistent follow-up, the campaign generated qualified conversations and a repeatable business development process.
Project Info:
- Client:New Digital Agency
- Industry:Digital Marketing & Branding
- Location:India
- Campaign Duration:12 Months
The Challenge
The agency offered branding, marketing and growth support services but faced limited visibility, few inbound enquiries, no referral network and difficulty reaching startup founders directly.
The objective was to build a scalable B2B lead generation process that could generate qualified conversations without relying solely on referrals.
Strategy
The campaign defined an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) focused on:
- Startup founders and co-founders
- Early-stage business owners
- Funded startups
- Service and technology businesses
Prospects were researched through LinkedIn and public business information based on company fit, funding stage, business category and growth activity.
The strategy combined LinkedIn networking, personalised email outreach and structured follow-ups to create relevant founder-level conversations.
Execution
Over 12 months, the campaign reached approximately 2,400 startup founders across multiple sectors.
- Prospect Research: Identified founders based on company fit and growth activity.
- LinkedIn Outreach: Used personalised messages to establish relevant connections.
- Email Engagement: Addressed business challenges and relevant growth opportunities.
- Follow-Up: Re-engaged prospects through consistent, value-driven communication.
The focus was on starting relevant conversations rather than making an immediate sales pitch.
Results
- 2,400 startup founders contacted
- 55 positive responses
- 34 qualified sales conversations
- 21 proposal-stage discussions
- 15 active business opportunities
The campaign helped the agency connect directly with founders matching its ideal client profile.
Business Impact
The campaign created a repeatable outbound process, reduced reliance on referrals and supported ongoing pipeline generation.
- Predictable Pipeline: Consistent source of new opportunities
- Founder-Level Access: Direct conversations with decision-makers
- Stronger Market Presence: Increased visibility among startup founders
- Improved Sales Process: Clearer prospecting and follow-up framework
