Target Persona

Unity partnered with Whistle to execute a strategic SDR campaign focused on driving beta platform adoption and securing high-value meetings for major industry events. By deploying a multi-channel approach involving an event-specific app, cold calling, and email, Whistle exceeded expectations by delivering significant volumes of sign-ups and feedback.

Challenges Faced

  • Broad Targeting: The initial ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) list was too broad to facilitate effective, high-conversion outreach.
  • Inactive Leads: A list of approximately 350 beta sign-ups existed but remained inactive, requiring a strategic decision on engagement.
  • Data Logistics: Ensuring seamless data synchronization with Salesforce required the establishment of mandatory field protocols.

Our Solution

  • Multi-Phase Outreach Strategy: Whistle implemented three distinct approaches: a feedback-driven sequence, a beta sign-up drive, and a pre-event outreach campaign.
  • Event-App Leveraging: Whistle utilized specific event applications as a primary channel to identify and engage attendees.
  • Dedicated Team Structure: The account was staffed with two experienced SDRs, an Account Manager for strategy, a Team Leader for quality control, and an AI Content Strategist for messaging.
  • Tight Lead Management: SDRs used Unity-provided Salesforce forms to capture leads, ensuring all mandatory data points were synced correctly into the client’s CRM.

Results Achieved

  • Achieved over 50 new sign-ups for the platform.
  • Secured 84 agreements from users to provide feedback on the beta.
  • Scheduled over 40 meetings for the MWC event in Barcelona.
  • Successfully enriched leads with LinkedIn URLs, emails, and up to three phone contacts.
  • Exceeded initial performance expectations through a highly effective chosen strategy.

Future Outlook

The partnership concluded on very strong terms, with both parties maintaining alignment through consistent weekly communication. While Unity is currently focusing on building out internal capabilities, the success of this campaign has established a foundation for future collaboration. The client has indicated a desire to re-engage Whistle specifically to support future events once their internal team structure is finalized.

Key Learning

Channel Hierarchy

The event-specific application proved to be the most effective outreach channel, closely followed by direct calling, outperforming traditional LinkedIn and email efforts for this campaign.

Importance of ICP Prioritization

Moving from a broad ICP to a prioritized P0/P1 list was critical in ensuring messaging alignment and outreach efficiency.

Logistical Agility

Maintaining performance despite delayed access to attendee lists and event apps highlighted the importance of a rapid-response outreach model once access is granted.
