New client signed shortly after

Consistent pipeline while founder focuses on delivery

Sir Jacobs had everything a brand needs except a route to market. A genuinely handmade product, a compelling founder story, a distinctive price point and nine months of UK direct-to-consumer traction. But the B2B opportunity, corporate gifting, luxury hospitality, prime property and luxury automotive, was entirely untouched. There was no defined ICP, no outreach infrastructure, no B2B proposition and no LinkedIn presence aligned with a business audience. The decision makers at the wealth management firms, City law practices and premium automotive dealerships that should have been working with Sir Jacobs did not know the brand existed.
-
Phase 1: Strategy and Foundation
Defined ICP and first target segment: corporate gifting decision makers at private wealth management, asset management, luxury automotive, City law, prime property and executive search firms across London and major UK cities
Industry priority order established across eight sectors with rationale for sequencing
B2B proposition built and positioned: not a fragrance pitch but a gifting conversation framed around what a considered gift communicates about the company sending it
Decision maker map by company size, from Founder and MD at sub-20-person firms to Head of Procurement and Employee Experience Lead at companies up to 500 people
Lead sourcing search prompts and ICP filter logic produced, returning 1,330 target companies and 21,797 decision maker contacts across five UK cities
Full Phase 1 strategy document produced covering USP, ICP, outreach direction and infrastructure overview
Phase 2: Infrastructure and Build
Two-channel outreach infrastructure designed: cold email and LinkedIn outreach running in sequence, with non-responders on email moving automatically to LinkedIn
Two plan options produced with full cost breakdown, monthly volume projections and estimated warm conversation ranges
Email domain setup and warmup plan configured: three outreach domains with three dedicated inboxes each, nine inboxes total, kept entirely separate from the main brand domain
Lead sourcing and email validation workflow built to protect domain reputation before any send
Existing CRM integration scoped to route positive replies directly into the pipeline without mixing with inbound customer records
Tool registration and onboarding process structured so Sir Jacobs owns all accounts and data from day one
Phase 3: Outreach Copy and LinkedIn
Full cold email sequence of three emails, each bringing a new angle and building a narrative across the sequence, written to speak peer to peer to a senior decision maker at a premium professional services firm
LinkedIn DM sequence of three messages: no note on connection request, first DM references the email outreach naturally, second and third DMs bring fresh angles on the brand and the gifting opportunity
Every template written to reflect the tone and register of the brand: considered, understated, peer to peer, never vendor
LinkedIn profile copy produced for the UK Managing Director: headline, About section and experience description all rewritten and aligned with the corporate gifting ICP
LinkedIn Posts Playbook produced specifically for Sir Jacobs: three content pillars, post structure framework, hook writing guide, format guidance and the first five posts mapped out with raw material notes

Boon Brown is a well-established architecture practice with offices across London and the South West. The South West office had a stable flow of work. London was a different story. The London studio was carrying the weight of a flat market with no structured way of reaching new developers and contractors. New work came through referrals and personal connections, both of which work when the market is active. When the market is not, there is no safety net. The BD lead was managing relationships from a spreadsheet, contacting people when time allowed, with no pipeline visibility, no defined targets and no system underneath any of it. The right developers did not know Boon Brown existed.

Daniel had genuine authority in his space with two published books, fifteen years of clinical practice as a Functional Medicine Practitioner, and a track record of delivering sessions for organisations including Indeed and Deutsche Bank. But his positioning was blurred, his outreach was non-existent, and he had no system for reaching the HR, People and Culture leaders who book speakers like him. Growth was entirely dependent on inbound and word of mouth. The right organisations didn't know he existed.
-
Phase 1: Assessment and Foundation
Defined ICP: HR, People, Culture, DEI and L&D leaders in UK tech, media and consumer companies, 200 to 5,000 employees
