THE CHALLENGE
Where they were stuck
TELESCOPE provides an enterprise sweepstakes and interactive engagement platform serving major CPG brands. Their challenge was breaking into Fortune 500 buying processes that are notoriously slow and vendor-cautious, while reaching the brand managers and marketing directors who control promotion budgets.
Enterprise CPG buying cycles are slow and heavily guarded by procurement teams
Traditional sales messaging needed refinement for the engagement platform category
Reaching marketing directors at Fortune 500 brands requires enterprise-grade deliverability
THE SYSTEM WE BUILT
How we solved their problems
Target Active Promotion Buyers
Built prospect lists through six-source verification, targeting marketing leaders at CPG brands with active consumer engagement programs: companies running promotions, loyalty campaigns, or interactive content that signaled both budget and intent for TELESCOPE's sweepstakes platform.
Lead With Engagement Metrics
Cold email messaging led with interactive participation success stories from comparable brands, quantifying engagement lift and consumer data capture from specific campaigns. Enterprise Azure infrastructure ensured deliverability into Fortune 500 corporate email environments with the strictest spam filtering.
Refine Sales Messaging Live
LinkedIn outreach targeted the same marketing leaders with content about consumer engagement trends and promotion ROI, building familiarity before the email ask. The campaign also helped TELESCOPE refine their sales messaging based on response data and prospect feedback, creating compounding value beyond just lead generation.
Enterprise CPG brands run sweepstakes and engagement campaigns constantly, but the buying process is notoriously slow and vendor-cautious. TELESCOPE needed outreach that earned meetings with brand managers and marketing directors who control promotion budgets at companies that move deliberately and filter vendor pitches aggressively.
