How Touchcast built $4,849,211in pipeline with Social ABM

DESIGN & COPY TESTING

THE CHALLENGE

In January of 2021, Touchcast was funded by Accenture with $50 million. The sales and marketing mission was to turn a portion of this into revenue and prove product market fit. 

Touchcast had a valuable product for the enterprise segment and wanted to use the window of opportunity that covid-19 presented for virtual event technology. 

When we started there was no pipeline, no awareness at their target accounts, and very little content to support the sales cycle.

We set out to build pipeline with a focus on building Demand and capturing it at the world’s biggest enterprises.

THE SOLUTION

Without gated content, we had to find a way to keep buyers engaged until they were ready to buy. 

We built a 3-part “always-on” funnel to achieve our key objectives: awareness and pipeline.

Awareness was the focus of the campaign. We used Video, Carousel and Single Image assets to build awareness at Global 2000 companies. 

Engagement, focused on promoting our strongest organic content to these same target accounts.

Conversion retargeted the highest intent accounts from the above two phases. Our creatives reduced anxiety and increased motivation to try a demo of Touchcast.

THE APPROACH

We started by listening to what buyers were saying. This allowed us to challenge and confirm assumptions made at the start of the campaign.

We scoured Reddit & Quora forums, thought leadership on LinkedIn, hashtags & Facebook groups to find out what they thought. Finally, we validated their product experiences by analysing competitor reviews on G2 and Trustradius.

We learnt a lot.

We found the most #eventtech companies were saying things that turned away their #eventprofs audience. So we applied what we learnt and wrote ads that attracted them to buy.

CREATIVES

Design and copy teams worked to produce assets ready to perform on social and programmatic.

Video showed off the product to its best ability and built retargeting audiences for our conversion campaign.

Phrases like: “You can’t take what works in-person and slap it online” were the words of target buyers themselves – these performed best.

BEST PERFORMING CREATIVES

Our creative teams worked with Touchast product teams to produce scroll-stopping ads that make #eventprof audiences feel seen and heard.

  • Single image ads were the most engaging, driving the most traffic to the website & generating the most demo conversions.
  • It took an average of 3-4 touchpoints before audiences moved to the website with intent to buy.
  • Copy highlighting unique, relevant benefits performed best.

ACCOUNTS ENGAGED

Our campaign used a 3-tiered ABM strategy. This prioritized budget efficiently based on the potential value of each account.

We reported on the impressions, engagements, website visits and leads generated for each account.

  • For 1:1 we ran highly personalised, high investment, high ROI campaigns to 10 hand-picked accounts.
  • For 1:few we ran light personalisation, medium investment, medium ROI to our 4 most profitable industries.
  • For 1:many we provided low personalisation, highly scaled brand awareness.
