MARKET AMPLIFICATION
B2B buying cycles are long, quiet, and complex. We work your named accounts, and make sure you read accurately to buyers building a shortlist.
Account-based marketing treats a named list of accounts as the market, not a segment. Each account gets attention set by how much it is worth winning.

Broad, inbound-style campaigns to attract interest across your target market. Useful for generating awareness, capturing early intent signals, and identifying potential accounts.
Focused campaigns tailored to a defined group of high-value accounts. Combines personalisation with automation to drive deeper engagement.
Highly personalised, account-specific campaigns developed in close alignment with sales. Reserved for your most valuable commercial opportunities.
We activate this ABM model using HubSpot's Loop Marketing system, which brings together data, automation, and reporting in a single platform, so your marketing is:
By the time you are contacted, the shortlist is drawn. Direct outreach covers the accounts you name. Whether you make that shortlist depends on what a buyer finds without you.
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is an extension of Search Engine Optimisation for AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The objective is unchanged, being found and accurately understood. What changes is that these tools answer the question directly rather than listing links.
Around 29% of B2B buyers now begin their research with AI tools (McKinsey, 2026). That means an engine is summarising your capabilities, approvals, and site footprint before anyone opens your website.
If that data is unstructured, the summary gets assembled from whatever the engine can find. Approvals come back wrong. Sites get left out. A wrong specification costs you the buyer's trust before a human conversation starts.
AEO reduces that risk by making your verified data the version AI engines read.
Where SEO rewards keywords and backlinks, AEO rewards structure and accuracy. AI engines answer from your content rather than linking to it, so what matters is whether your data is complete, verified, and clear enough for an engine to use with confidence.
It depends on which level you are starting at. One-to-one is bespoke and sales-aligned, so one or two accounts at first. One-to-a-few is where most programmes begin in practice, and ten to fifteen accounts is workable because the assets get built once and reused across the group. One-to-many is not an account list at all; it is a defined market, so it scales with your data rather than with headcount.
They cover different parts of the same cycle. Account-based campaigns reach the accounts you have chosen, on your timing. Answer engine optimisation covers the research that occurs before you are contacted, which you cannot control or schedule. Both write to the same HubSpot record, so engagement from one informs the other.
That is the visibility audit, and it is the first thing we run. We test how the major engines describe your capabilities, approvals and sites, then record where the answers are thin, wrong or missing. You get the actual responses rather than a score, so you can see which claims need correcting at source.
Every programme is built around your positioning, your buyers and your sector, whether that is electronics manufacturing, life sciences, or specialist contract services. The framework stays consistent; the execution is bespoke.
The build is one-off. Monitoring is not, because the engines change what they read and competitors change what they publish. Ongoing work follows a monthly cycle: check what the engines say, correct any errors at the source in the knowledge base, and track which competitors are named alongside you. It runs on the same knowledge base as your content, so it is one governance process rather than two.
For campaigns: account engagement, pipeline progression and revenue influence, reviewed quarterly. For answer engines: how you are described, which questions you appear for, share of voice, and when a competitor is named in your place. Both are reviewed on the same cycle, so they are read together rather than separately.
The plant runs on measurement, process control and quality gates. The commercial front end has been left to run on judgement and habit. This report sets out what engineering it to the same standard involves.
THE METHODOLOGY
01 Step 1 of 5:
A 90-minute diagnostic that gives your leadership team a clear picture of where the commercial system is limiting growth.
02 Step 2 of 5:
Facilitated sessions that surface why customers choose you, who you are for, and the technical and regulatory boundaries the work runs inside.
03 Step 3 of 5:
A governed knowledge base that keeps AI-generated content accurate, on-message, and consistent with how you actually win business.
04 Step 4 of 5:
One shared source of qualified data, so marketing and sales stop working from different pictures of the same accounts.
05 (THIS PAGE) Step 5 of 5:
Account-based campaigns that reach the accounts you name, and answer engine optimisation so buyers researching without you read something verified.
