Tom Watson, a customer of Warmly, recently demonstrated how he integrates Warmly with LinkedIn Ads to generate leads and book meetings with potential clients. This approach has quickly become one of the highest-performing channels for his agency, generating six leads within a week of launching their campaign.
Strategy Implementation
Data Collection and Integration:
Tom leveraged Warmly's AI Prospector and website intent to gather information on time-intent users, including their emails and names. This person-level data was then pushed to HubSpot, filtering users who stayed on the website for more than five seconds. This initial step ensured that only engaged and ICP prospects were targeted.
Lead Generation through LinkedIn Ads:
Once the data was filtered through HubSpot, it was uploaded to LinkedIn Ads to target these engaged prospects directly. Within 72 hours, the campaign generated five leads, and over a week, six leads were acquired at an average cost of £10 per lead. This quick turnaround highlighted the efficiency of the integrated approach.
Email Campaign Integration:
Tom also utilized QuickMail for his email campaigns, incorporating a Warmly-generated UTM signature that captured prospects' email addresses when clicked. The Warmly platform tracked these interactions and linked them to HubSpot, allowing for detailed source tracking and ROI analysis. This integration ensured a seamless flow of information and enhanced tracking capabilities.

- Six leads were generated within a week.
