Challenges
ProfitWell's primary challenge was managing the entirety of their demand generation in-house. The task was complex and time-consuming, encompassing both search and paid social, and limiting the ability to focus on other critical areas such as Business Development Representative (BDR) strategy. Additionally, there was a pressing need for a strategic Demand Generation partner to support growth without compromising lead quality.
42's approach
42 Agency was brought on board to help take over demand generation with the Head of Growth and add additional brandwidth to the small but mighty team.
Our approach to demand generation was comprehensive and collaborative, focusing not just on leads but quality of leads conversion rates and pipeline. ProfitWell had a robust freemium acquisition model so our effort focused on driving more mid-market and enterprise customers.
