THE CHALLENGE
Where they were stuck
Jacob Tyler is a branding and design agency that helps crypto companies build market credibility through professional branding. Their challenge was reaching crypto founders and CMOs in an inbox environment where every other message is a pitch from a "Web3 marketing agency," making trust the prerequisite for any conversation.
Crypto founders' inboxes are flooded with Web3 agency pitches and scam attempts
Timing outreach to coincide with branding-critical moments (pre-launch, post-funding)
Reaching actual decision-makers rather than community managers or coordinators
THE SYSTEM WE BUILT
How we solved their problems
Time Outreach to Milestones
Built prospect lists using funding round data and token launch timelines to identify crypto projects at the moment branding matters most: post-funding when they're preparing for market, or pre-token launch when public perception directly impacts valuation. Multi-provider verification ensured outreach reached founders and CMOs.
Position Branding as Trust
Cold email sequences led with credibility as the core value proposition. Not "we design logos" but "here's how comparable crypto projects increased market credibility and investor confidence through professional branding." Each sequence was tied to the prospect's specific stage, with pre-launch messaging on positioning and post-launch messaging on trust-building.
LinkedIn Brand Strategy Content
LinkedIn outreach targeted crypto founders with engagement around Web3 brand strategy content, creating familiarity before any direct pitch. The combination hit a 32% reply rate and secured 30 meetings in 2 months, remarkable velocity in a market where trust takes time and most cold outreach gets immediately dismissed.

Jacob Tyler achieved a 32% reply rate, exceptional in a space where trust is scarce and most cold outreach gets immediately dismissed. The key was leading with credibility as the value proposition and tying messaging to the prospect's specific company stage rather than generic design capabilities.
Can cold email work for agencies targeting the crypto industry?

Strategy
Video production is a crowded market, but Manifaith had something most competitors didn't: a client roster that included Turo, Nike, and Vogue. The challenge was getting that credibility in front of the right buyers before they defaulted to their existing vendor relationships. We targeted event planners and corporate experience coordinators, the people who actually hire production teams, not the CMOs who approve budgets months later. Prospect lists were built around upcoming event calendars and corporate experience programs, so outreach arrived when production decisions were actively being made, not after vendors had already been selected. Cold email messaging led with the brand-name portfolio, but the hook was specificity: not "we do video," but "here's what we produced for a comparable event type and the engagement metrics it drove." Each sequence was structured as a mini-case study, giving prospects enough proof to take the meeting without needing a full sales presentation first. LinkedIn outreach engaged event coordinators with content around event production quality and brand storytelling. AI cold calling targeted corporate experience teams at companies planning major upcoming events, where a brief conversation about production scope and timeline could accelerate the booking. In a single month, the campaign generated 23 qualified leads and $93,000 in pipeline, proof that even in a creative services market, systematic outbound works when the positioning is right.

Strategy
The coaches-and-consultants market is oversaturated with agency pitches, which means Brandetize's outreach needed to cut through a wall of noise. We built prospect lists through six-source verification, targeting coaches and consultants at a specific inflection point: generating revenue from their expertise but hitting a ceiling on growth because their marketing systems were either DIY or managed by generalist freelancers. Cold email was the primary outreach channel, running through enterprise infrastructure (2 USA IPs, 100 Outlook inboxes) to maintain deliverability into the Gmail and Google Workspace accounts this audience predominantly uses. Messaging led with growth metrics from similar clients, specific revenue increases, audience growth rates, and launch results that coaches and consultants could map onto their own businesses. The key was avoiding the generic "scale your coaching business" language that every agency uses, and instead anchoring to specific outcomes: "here's what happened when a leadership coach with $200K annual revenue went through our program." LinkedIn outreach was a strong secondary channel, engaging with prospects' content and building familiarity before the email sequences hit. AI cold calling was reserved for high-ticket coaching businesses where the potential contract value justified a direct conversation. The campaign generated 69 monthly replies on average and secured 7 new client conversions in 3 months, with the client reporting that every deal closed was a positive experience from first touch to signed contract.
