THE CHALLENGE
Where they were stuck
Manifaith is a video production company with a client roster that includes Turo, Nike, and Vogue. Despite strong brand-name credibility, they had no systematic way to get that work in front of the right buyers before event planners and corporate teams defaulted to their existing vendor relationships.
Brand-name portfolio invisible to prospects who default to existing vendors
No system to reach event planners during active production decision windows
Selling creative services requires showing work, not describing it
THE SYSTEM WE BUILT
How we solved their problems
Event-Timed Prospect Lists
We targeted event planners and corporate experience coordinators. 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.
Mini-Case Study Sequences
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.
Multi-Channel Acceleration
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.
Manifaith is a video production company whose client roster includes Turo, Nike, and Vogue. The challenge was not the quality of their work. It was getting that credibility in front of the right buyers before they defaulted to their existing vendor relationships. Event planners and corporate experience coordinators make production decisions on tight timelines, and Manifaith needed to be in the conversation before vendors were selected.

In a single month, the campaign generated 23 qualified leads and $93,000 in pipeline. As founder Brandon Esparza said, "No fluff, no false promises, just real business opportunities." The results proved that even in a crowded creative services market, systematic outbound works when the positioning is right.

How does outbound work for video production companies?

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.

Strategy
HR leaders are some of the hardest buyers to reach via cold outreach. Their inboxes are flooded with vendor pitches, and they're conditioned to ignore anything that sounds like another SaaS demo request. Employee Cycle needed outreach that broke that pattern. We built prospect lists through six-source verification targeting HR directors and VPs of People at mid-market companies (200 to 2,000 employees), organizations large enough to have meaningful HR data but often lacking the tools to actually use it. Enterprise infrastructure (2 USA IPs, 100 Outlook inboxes) ensured deliverability into corporate email environments with aggressive filtering. Cold email messaging avoided the typical SaaS pitch structure entirely. Instead of leading with features ("centralized HR dashboard"), we led with the problem: HR leaders spending hours manually pulling reports from disconnected systems every time leadership asks a people question. Sequences then positioned Employee Cycle as the fix, not with feature lists, but with specific time-savings data from comparable companies. LinkedIn outreach targeted the same prospects with content-driven engagement: sharing HR analytics insights and benchmarking data that demonstrated Employee Cycle's expertise before ever asking for a meeting. AI cold calling added a direct touchpoint for high-priority accounts, using brief scripts that referenced the email content and offered a 15-minute product walkthrough rather than a traditional sales call. The multi-channel approach generated 43 monthly replies and secured 14+ meetings in a single month, with the majority of leads moving directly to product demos, a sign that the outreach had already done the selling.
