Overview

Power 22 Marketing specializes in B2B marketing for industries like Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Software, and eCommerce. While LinkedIn outreach was a cornerstone of their strategy, Morgan sought to expand beyond LinkedIn's limitations, particularly since not all businesses are active on the platform.

This campaign generated 24 high-intent leads, with several leads converting into paying clients. By relying on ListKit’s Triple-Verified data and optimized email copy, Morgan reduced bounce rates and maximized deliverability, building a scalable system for predictable growth.
