Sixteen Eleven Consultancy

Founder-led PR agency

sixteenelevenconsultancy.com

  • Strong client relationships and good work, but growth relied entirely on referrals. No structured outreach, undefined ICP, unclear USP, no pipeline discipline and not time from the founder to work on new business outreach.

  • Phase 1: Assessment & Foundation

    • Defined ICP: industries, company types, decision-maker profiles

    • Positioning refined: accessible PR alternative to expensive agencies

    • Messaging aligned to buyer pain points

    • Strategic foundation document

    Phase 2: Implementation

    • Cold email infrastructure: domains, warmup, sequence logic

    • Real-time data sourcing for target segments

    • LinkedIn profile optimization and automated engagement

    • CRM system with pipeline stages and activity tracking

    Phase 3: System Activation

    • Outreach copy for LinkedIn DM and email campaigns

    • Unified inbox for warm response management

    • Campaign launch and optimization

    • Week 1 after the setup: Conversations with 3 qualified prospects

    • New client signed shortly after

    • System runs automatically in background, discovery calls and new relationships keep building

    • Consistent pipeline while founder focuses on delivery

“ Knowing that new business development runs quietly in the background has removed a huge amount of stress. Work that previously took days now takes minutes."

- Peter Cuthbertson, Founder, Sixteen Eleven

Sir Jacobs UK Ltd

Handmade South African fragrance and home collection

sirjacobs.com

  • 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

    • A complete B2B outreach system built for a brand with no prior business development infrastructure

    • ICP precisely defined across eight corporate gifting sectors, sequenced by opportunity size and fit

    • 21,797 decision maker contacts mapped across 1,330 target companies before the first campaign goes live

    • Positioning shifted from a consumer fragrance brand to a considered B2B gifting proposition with a clear and differentiated argument for every target sector

    • Full outreach copy library produced, spam-checked and ready to activate

    • LinkedIn profile and content system aligned with the ICP and live before the first outreach message is sent

    • Infrastructure designed to generate an estimated 20 to 60 warm conversations per month on the single LinkedIn account plan, and 40 to 120 on the three account plan

    Outreach campaigns live from May 2026.

Daniel O'Shaughnessy

Corporate speaker and author on LGBTQ+ health

danieloshaughnessy.com

  • 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

    • Positioning sharpened: LGBTQ+ health, body image and minority stress as the primary differentiator, not generic burnout or wellbeing

    • Messaging aligned to what corporate buyers actually care about: retention, psychological safety, inclusion that changes behaviour

    • Boolean search strings for LinkedIn Sales Navigator, full decision-maker map, and strategic foundation document

    Phase 2: Infrastructure and Build

    • LinkedIn and Sales Navigator workflow: account lists, lead lists, behavioural warm-up process and daily operating rhythm

    • LinkedIn profile headline and About section rewritten to reflect the new positioning, ready to paste

    • CRM configured: pipeline stages, activity tags, segment tags, email domain connected and authenticated (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

    • Content workflow built for ongoing LinkedIn posting from clinical and lived material

    Phase 3: Outreach System and Copy

    • Full outreach template library across four ICP segments: People and HR, Culture and Employee Experience, DEI and Inclusion, and L&D and Wellbeing

    • 32 templates covering LinkedIn DM 1 and 2, Email 1 to 4, Connection Accepted, Positive Signals, Post Engagement and Warm Lead

    • Every template audited and cleared against the 2026 spam word list

    • Pre-send checklist built into the document with spam checker, email verifier and domain send limits

    • AI prompt produced so Daniel can generate new templates and LinkedIn posts from his own material using Phase 1 as the training input

    • A complete B2B outreach system built for a solo founder with no prior new business infrastructure

    • ICP precisely defined across four buyer segments, each with its own copy set and CRM tag

    • Positioning shifted from generic wellbeing speaker to the only corporate speaker with two published clinical books on LGBTQ+ health, giving Daniel a clear differentiator in a crowded market

    • CRM configured and authenticated, templates loaded and spam-checked, ready to send

    • LinkedIn content system and Sales Navigator workflow in place for consistent visibility with the right decision makers
