The challenge

Acquire leads and show traction

To show traction for the next funding round pre-revenue and before their SaaS solution launched in the broader market, Zerolens aimed to acquire 1,000 relevant leads in the form of pre-launch sign-ups. This way they could prove PMF and show significant traction.

The solution

Optimizing on data, not gut-feeling

Building a data foundation to make informed decisions on campaign performance.

Campaign phasing

In Phase 1, we focused on building a data foundation and let the Facebook Algorithm understand the behavior of the target group.

In Phase 2, we capitalized on our data-based insights, built lookalike audiences and optimized on conversion rates.

Landing Pages

We created two Landing Pages focusing on the specific needs of these target segments as well as ad-sets for Facebook and Instagram.

We consciously decided not to use LinkedIn because of its high CPL and used Viral Loops as a supporting Referral Program.

The result

Delivering high quality leads

Our campaign both delivered on the qualitative and the quantitative side.

Successful strategy

Strategic campaign phasing and a optmising on creative rather than target group delivered relevant data insights and allowed us to bring CPL down to 1 EUR.

On the qualitative side we delivered sign-ups from high profile companies such as PepsiCo, Unilever, Ben & Jerry's and many more.
