Case Study / Energir

Reinventing B2B lead generation

Impact

As Energir needed to reach a niche audience of engineers, traditional advertising formats were no longer sufficient.

We tested and deployed a new conversational ad format on LinkedIn, allowing direct engagement through personalized messages delivered in users’ inboxes. By combining precise targeting with an interactive experience, we captured the attention of a highly sought after audience.

This approach transformed a standard channel into a high performance driver.

Result cost per lead decreased by 87%, form submission rate reached 71% and 25% of webinar registrations were driven by this format. Proof that media innovation can drive significant performance gains.

The Mandate

Generating leads for Énergir’s energy efficiency programs was challenging due to the diversity of decision-makers involved and the market’s limited familiarity with these types of initiatives. Énergir wanted to better communicate the benefits of its energy efficiency programs and natural gas solutions to engineers, who play an influential role in promoting and recommending these programs within their organizations. To achieve this, the company leveraged webinars to showcase its leading solutions while supporting the lead generation objectives of its business development team.

To maximize registrations among this highly specialized audience, adviso recommended using LinkedIn and its newly released Conversation Ads format, which enabled personalized messages based on the recipient’s job title and company to be delivered directly to their inbox. The team also implemented an integration between LinkedIn, Zapier, GoToWebinar, and HubSpot to automate registrations, communications, and pre-event reminders, maximizing attendance while creating a scalable and efficient acquisition process.

LinkedIn Conversation Ads recommended by Adviso worked better than the standard ads for leads. The fact that they are more personal and delivered directly into the inbox of engineers helps us grab their attention.
