5x ROI on email marketing for a top leadership consultancy
The Project
The Brains helped Personal Presentation, a corporate leadership consultancy, to boost awareness and drive growth via online channels. The client had a successful track-record working with well-known companies, and historically relied on client referrals to secure new business. We used targeted email marketing with persona segmentation to generate 5x ROI and help Personal Presentation drive impressive growth.
We’ve been working with The Brains for about a year now. We’ve always found them to be intelligent, proactive, politely persistent – and very effective!

Our Objectives
Our online advertising and strategy teams were tasked with ensuring significant growth for Personal Presentation within a clearly defined budget. Since the client was clear on prospect lists and targeting, our main challenge was to clarify messaging for each persona and entice prospects with relevant USPs.

Brand awareness increased among target audience
Project Story
1.
As the client was approaching digital advertising for the first time and we had a clearly defined initial budget, we advised running an email marketing campaign before looking into channel-specific ads. Our B2B specialists were aware that with high-ticket B2B sales, delivering timely communication to someone’s inbox would be just as effective as spending thousands on LinkedIn ads. Essentially, each business in the sector would be competing for attention of their target prospects, so optimising all communications to align with great messaging was key.
2.
In this case, Personal Presentation was well-informed as to who they wanted to target. They had already established prospect groups based on specific industry, company size and even job titles. Along with our own research, we were therefore able to build highly specific lists of prospects to target with our marketing emails, each of which were tailored depending on the target group.
3.
Working in collaboration with the client, we finalised the content for each persona, crafting it around various USPs that mitigated their pain points. For the CEO group, we highlighted how the training from Personal Presentation had helped people in similar roles to transform their communication skills, whereas for the HR group, we stressed the benefits of the training for junior high-flyers and the merits of internal promotions vs external hiring.
The Brains has produced excellent results for us, way better than I could have imagined (I confess to being pretty sceptical to start with!). They’ve completely revitalised our new business campaign. My only hesitation in recommending them is that I’d be letting others in on the secret …

Overall, the campaign was hugely successful, generating a predictable volume of qualified leads per month for the client and resulting in a 5x return on marketing spend. Our collaborative approach meant that we could combine research strategies when it came to audience targeting, resulting in highly specific and lead-driving emails.
