Building the Foundations for Scalable Paid Growth

Market challenges

  • Low search intent market - SaaS procurement is a category most buyers don't know they need, making inbound demand thin and hard to capture at scale.
  • Reaching the right ICP efficiently — without burning budget on broad audiences or optimising for volume over quality.
  • Paid challenges

  • No reliable visibility into channel contribution or attribution, making budget decisions difficult
  • Inconsistent Lead quality via Linkedin Ads
  • Limited search inventory meant ceding top positions to competitors is not an option
  • What we did

    Built and redefined the paid acquisition engine across LinkedIn and Google Ads — bringing structure, attribution clarity, and a rigorous iteration process to find the real triggers of growth.

    1. Campaign Structure & Foundation: Built and redefined LinkedIn and Google Ads campaign structures from the ground up — creating a clean, scalable architecture focused on finding the triggers of growth.

    2. Attribution: Bypassed HubSpot's default attribution logic to deploy independent first-touch attribution — surfacing true channel contribution across new and existing contacts.

    3. Creative & Audience Iteration: Ran systematic iterations on LinkedIn creative and audiences to filter for lead quality over volume — optimizing toward the profiles that actually move down the funnel.

    80–90% of leads now within ICP
    A fundamental shift from volume-driven to quality-driven acquisition.
    Graduated from lead gen to pipeline gen
    Iterative collaboration with the Najar team to align paid acquisition directly to revenue outcomes.
