About the client

A company registration and startup valuation firm in India that helps startups get valuation certificates for investment rounds.

The challenge

The firm needed a steady flow of enquiries from startup founders preparing to raise funds. This is a small, specific audience, so broad ads would waste budget on people who don't need a valuation.

The goal

Generate high-quality leads from startup founders and decision makers at a low cost per lead.

What we did

  1. Built a targeted lead generation campaign

    Reached startup founders and decision makers using detailed audience targeting.

  2. Created visual ads for the startup community

    Used a myth versus fact hook ("Getting startup valuation may take years") and a clear offer: a free consultation.

  3. Optimised the lead ads

    Refined the lead forms and creatives for better results as data came in.

  4. Expanded to other services

    Ran parallel campaigns to generate leads for the firm's other services, such as company registration.

Key learnings

  • A myth versus fact hook works well for B2B audiences, because it challenges a belief founders already hold.
  • A free consultation offer lowers the barrier for busy founders to share their details.
  • Once one service works, parallel campaigns can reuse the same audience for other services.
