LEAD GENERATION

Why should I do lead generation?

Every business out there has three things in common: there is always some kind of product on offer, there is always the need to attract interest, and finally, the necessity of converting enough interested people into actual customers. This is why successful lead generation is so important to the long-term success of your business. 

Reaching relevant audiences and building your brand’s visibility and credibility among them can help you to spark interest in what you offer, and to ultimately drive sales and business growth. Lead generation campaigns have the potential to deliver a constant stream of new customers into your sales funnel over time at a relatively low cost, which is why it’s time to incorporate lead generation activities into your inbound marketing strategy.

How do you approach lead generation at ABCD?

As a creative communications agency that’s passionate about curating engaging content, we’re skilled at ideating, putting together and executing successful lead generation campaigns on behalf of our clients. Our talented team has extensive experience working in award-winning, in-house inbound marketing teams; nowadays, they’re agency-side and ready to help your brand refine and expand its lead generation activity. If you’re interesting in working with us on a lead generation campaign, we approach lead generation in the following way: 

Brief: Firstly, we’ll meet with you to better understand your business, your brand, and the kind of lead you’re looking for. Every lead generation client of ours is different, and we make sure to start the partnership with a crystal clear understanding of what you need. We want to get you the best results possible from your campaign. Whether you’re aiming to reach business owners, investors, or regular consumers, we’re prepared to create something bespoke to help you achieve your goals. 

Strategy: Based on your input and our experience, we’ll create a lead generation strategy that is unique to your brand and orientated around your ideal lead. We will pitch this to you and then refine it based on your feedback and input. The kind of strategy proposal we make depends on the brief. Perhaps you’re interested in putting extra marketing budget behind your lead generation campaign—for example, using Outbreak or LinkedIn Ads to promote your campaign. Alternatively, your focus may be on a purely organic campaign that attracts relevant leads over time that land on the campaign thanks to certain keywords.

Content creation: Once everyone is in agreement about the lead generation strategy, our content team will get to work on curating the first campaign. Lead generation pieces vary hugely from brand to brand—for example, a playful listicle by a travel company about places to go can spark interest from leisure travellers in their trips. In contrast, a company offering a service to other businesses may be more likely to reach business decision makers with a more serious thought leadership whitepaper. For a startup seeking investment, an inspiring narrative about a company’s beginnings, founders, and progress to date may inspire a potential investor to commit to that company. Others may add a simple lead generation form to an existing content campaign. 

Our versatile team is very savvy when it comes to SEO-optimised copy and experienced in creating a diverse range of content formats. We carefully ensure that your lead generation piece is keyword optimised and conversion optimised. This will help your campaign to attract and convert organic visitors over time.

Launch: After extensive quality assurance, the approved lead generation will go live. If you wish, our experts will work with you to arrange paid marketing activities to promote the campaign. This can be a useful way for your lead generation efforts to reach more eyeballs in a shorter space of time. Using a range of tools, we can help you track and measure the performance of your lead generation campaign from the very beginning.
