service: 'Customer Advocacy',
discipline: 'Reference programme',
campaign: 'Always-on',
title: 'A reference engine that turned 12 happy customers into a 38% net retention lift',
excerpt: 'An always-on advocacy programme covering executive interviews, evidence assets, and analyst-grade reference workflow embedded with sales and CS.',
challenge: 'Reference customers were ad-hoc, hard to find, and exhausted by repeat asks. Sales was losing deals to slower analyst-grade competitors.',
solution: 'Built a tiered reference programme — bronze through platinum — with a public, searchable evidence library and clear rules of engagement.',
creative: 'High-fidelity executive interviews captured on location with two-camera setups. Each interview produced six artefacts across three channels.',
deliverables: 'Reference library · 18 executive videos · 24 written case studies · 6 analyst briefings · Internal enablement portal',
result: '+38% net retention',

title: 'A quarterly advisory board feeding an enterprise expansion motion',
excerpt: 'Senior, NDA-protected board sessions for the top 30 strategic accounts — feeding product, marketing, and account expansion.',
challenge: 'No structured channel for strategic input from top accounts. Expansion conversations were reactive.',
solution: 'Established a private quarterly board with curated agenda and a dedicated insight-to-action pipeline.',
creative: 'Each session captured as an editorial debrief, distributed to the wider customer base with attribution.',
deliverables: '4 board sessions/year · Insight digests · Expansion playbook · Executive briefings',
result: '2.4× expansion',

challenge: 'Sales asked CS for evidence in every late-stage deal. CS spent days hunting. Deals slipped.',
solution: 'Built a tagged, role-based evidence library with automated content harvest from interviews and reviews.',

campaign: 'Always-on',
title: 'A senior customer community that produces quarterly evidence',
excerpt: 'Closed-door, hosted community for category leaders — generating proof, peer connection, and partnership.',
challenge: 'High-value customers had no peer network. Renewal conversations lacked relational depth.',

title: 'Lifecycle proof for acquisition, retention, and expansion',
excerpt: 'Three integrated proof programmes mapped to each stage of the customer lifecycle.',
challenge: 'Marketing, sales, and CS were each producing proof — duplicating effort and missing the lifecycle.',
solution: 'One operating model, three motions: acquire-stage proof, retain-stage proof, expand-stage proof.',
