Case study: 80 MQLs in 8 weeks: How Gibon secured its first leads through an inbound marketing campaign

Written by Johanna Johansson | Dec 4, 2018 11:00:00 PM

Earlier this year, a handful of former Koneo partners decided to form a new company called Gibon. Gibon offers digital solutions to small and medium sized business in Sweden. Today they have 12 offices across the country with an impressive revenue stream of more than SEK 300 million.

As a part of their ambitious go-to-market strategy, Gibon wanted to launch an integrated inbound and outbound campaign to grow their online presence and generate leads specifically for their offer “The Modern Workplace.”


They hired Brightvision to launch the first pilot in Sweden.


Let’s take a closer look at the process and how Brightvision navigated through the challenges to be able to create an effective and results-oriented integrated marketing campaign for Gibon.

 

A scalable lead generation engine

Being new in the market is daunting in itself, let alone being faced with the task to immediately generate leads. Gibon wanted a solid and scalable funnel strategy they could rely on through their various stages of growth.

Full funnel strategy

A marketing funnel is often divided into three main phases: Top of Funnel (TOFU), Middle of Funnel (MOFU), and Bottom of Funnel (BOFU). Each phase comes with a different set of activities and content. In Gibon’s case, our task was not only to drive leads to the top of the funnel, but make sure those leads were appropriately nurtured in order to make their way to the bottom of the funnel.

As Brightvision began to map out the content conversion funnel, eight key categories emerged as being pivotal to the campaign strategy and its future scalability. They were as follows:

  1. Buyer persona and target definition
  2. Content creation
  3. Converting landing pages
  4. Digital advertising
  5. Email marketing and nurturing
  6. Video creation
  7. Blog
  8. Telemarketing

Our marketing experts created a sophisticated funnel strategy that was both flexible and scalable. That funnel strategy served as the foundation for the lead generation model Gibon was looking for.
