From a one-person operation to a full PR team

A UK publicity agency had the contacts and the results, but no reliable way to get in front of the people who needed them. We built the outbound engine that changed that.

The client

Big reach, no repeatable way to sell it

The client runs a UK publicity agency for individuals who want to make a name for themselves. The connections are genuine: television, national news and major speaking platforms, the kind of placements that put a client in front of millions of people a month.

What the business did not have was a predictable way to reach the people who would benefit. Growth depended on the founder's own network and time, which meant it stopped the moment he did.

Objectives

Three things to get right

01

Find the target market

The client works with specialists, from business coaches through to chief executives of multi-million pound companies. The first job was defining who was genuinely worth approaching.

02

Reach out at scale

Using our tooling and AI we identified those individuals and made contact, at a volume a single founder could never have worked through by hand.

03

Target the problem-aware

The clearest results came from people who already knew they needed help getting seen. Targeting awareness rather than job title alone is what moved the reply rate.

The approach

1 Analyse the market
2 Find the target segment
3 Identify the right people within it
4 Make contact and arrange the meeting
Results

What changed

A sales team with something to do

An average of 52 booked meetings a month, handed to the client's sales team rather than chased by the founder personally.

Revenue that compounds

Around £31,000 a month of new business, all retainer based, so each month builds on the one before it rather than resetting.

A one-person business became a team

The founder went from running everything personally to leading a full team of PR specialists handling a broad range of mass media.

The point

The bookings were never the hard part

The agency already had the relationships and the track record. What it lacked was a way to put those in front of the right people consistently, without the founder doing the prospecting himself.

With that handled, the work he actually cares about got done at a scale one person could not reach: telling stories that would otherwise never have been heard.
