1. Our Tasty Demand Generation Process
In everything we do, our objective is to help you manage your demand generation process so you can focus more on the things that really matter to you: to run your business while knowing we got your back.
Get a peek behind the curtain to see how our process works for SaaS & Tech companies:
STEP 1 (First month): Demand Generation Strategy Design
Every performant project starts with the right strategy. We research, understand, analyze, plan, and deploy. This is how it goes for us:
Project planning & first tests we will do before the strategy is delivered:
You will get access to a Google Drive where you will find everything we create for you.
First thing you will get is a detailed excel file with the project planning, stages, steps and status for each of them that we will update weekly. This way you will see at all times how the project is progressing.
You will also get a detailed process designed to find – connect – nurture – convert potential clients through proven B2B demand generation tactics designed for SaaS & Tech companies.
Market, competition, and internal resources & channels research
A comprehensive audit where we will research & map the market, the competition and the status quo inside the company, in terms of marketing & communication.
You will get a detailed file where we map out the audit & research as detailed as possible, so you can take action as soon as possible;
We look at your market, your internal assets and at your competition within the same industry, vertical and/or geography.
We map:
- Brand messages, Descriptors & marketing narratives
- Inspiration points

Ideal Customer Profile mapping to increase the velocity of your demand generation efforts
The IDEAL group of people that your brand is targeting, or hoping to attract, as customers
To design the ideal customer profile we use a detailed excel file where we map out the profiles as detailed as possible
This file helps you better understand who the client is, what needs and pains they have and how we cater to them.
We look over things like:
- Industry or company type combined with the job function
- ICP Description & Customer Persona
- Company details like: Company size, Location, Age of company, Team size, Annual revenue, Budgets, Experience and many others
- Demographics like: Location, Ocupation, Income, Education, Family Status, Lifestyle, Values, Interests & Hobbies, Opinions, Ways of thinking, Desires, Challenges and many others
Content Creation & Distribution Matrix
If we want to be performant in terms of demand generation, we will need to create a clear system to show exactly how the product is seen by the clients, what value it creates and how it achieves it’s value proposition.
We design a clear product definition system that combines elements like:
- Basic product assets: Brand Name, Brand Claim, Website (or websites if required for sub-products or cold outreach), Call-to-actions, Social media channels
- Product description, Product branding and positioning, Brand promise, Brand essence, Brand Personality, and Tone of Voice
- Business Model Canvas & Marketing Model Canvas
- Mindshare & Differentiators
- Services or Products and Customer matrix
- Value creation & Catalytic mechanisms
- Revenue Streams
- Hero’s Journey & Brand Archetype
- Content Creation Matrix based on distribution channels & the ideal customer profile (we make sure to deliver the right content, in front of the right people, at the right moment, in a form that is right for them)
- Content Distribution Matrix
- any other materials we need to have a clear and performant Product Definition System

- Strategic approach

3. Social Media Management
For a long time social media has been viewed as a great tool for marketing B2C leading to the belief that it could not bring good results in B2B as well. From our experience this belief comes from the tendency to use in B2B the same tactics that are commonly used in B2C. While they share similarities, the differences are significant.
Marketing successfully to B2B through social media starts with a well designed strategy that incorporates business objectives, accurately maps the decision making unit and the ideal customer profile, and sets relevant pillars and KPIs. This is an important step even if in the case of LinkedIn Authority & Brand Building projects which are just a small part of everything that a business needs to do to stay ahead of the competition.
Your social media approach should be derived from the overall marketing strategy and it should act as support for all your other efforts, from branding (creating awareness and positioning your brand as the best in the industry) all the way to the beginning of your sales funnel. Regarding your marketing efforts as an ecosystem helps create a coherent image of your business in the online environment and even helps optimize costs in the long run.
