HOW WE DID IT
Challenge

VIA, a creative agency in Portland, faced significant challenges post-pandemic, including dwindling revenue and staff losses. The agency urgently needed to generate more leads and attract larger clients, especially in their primary sector of financial services. The challenge was not just to fill the pipeline but to attract the right kind of leads that aligned with VIA’s expertise and growth ambitions.

Insights

Our key insight was recognizing the potential of VIA’s original study, Crafting Magic, as a powerful lead magnet. This study, which explored creative levers that combine with data to drive brand growth, was an untapped resource. By leveraging this study as a lead magnet, we could showcase VIA’s expertise and establish a strong value proposition for potential clients.
