• Company name: Survey54
  • Use Case: Survey and Market research

Survey54, a market research company, excelled at collecting data. But collecting data was only part of the puzzle; they needed to ensure these insights reached the right people. The challenge was clear: without a robust distribution strategy, even the best reports wouldn’t generate impact.

Survey54 had plenty of reports. But they needed more than just PDFs sitting on a website. They required a strategy that secured media coverage and ensured their research reached decision-makers.

That’s where I came in.

Challenge: Visibility & Lead Generation Blockers

Survey54 faced specific challenges typical of B2B-focused companies: generating leads, building credibility with decision-makers, and scaling beyond their existing client base.

Visibility Issues: Their reports weren’t reaching the intended audience or securing media coverage to build brand awareness.

Limited Lead Generation: Without effective distribution, their reports were not driving leads or converting readers into clients.

SEO & Content Distribution Challenges: Survey54’s reports lacked the visibility and credibility that strong SEO and backlinks provide, limiting their long-term value.

To achieve their business goals, Survey54 needed a focused, strategic approach that went beyond simply publishing reports.
