01 — The Challenge

A long sales cycle, a narrow senior audience, and three channels that behave nothing alike

B2B software is a hard, expensive sell: the buyers are few and senior, the cycle is long, and every channel has different economics. Acropolium also sold into three distinct verticals — subscription products, hospitality and logistics — across multiple regions. A single catch-all campaign would have burned budget without ever telling us which channel actually produced pipeline.

Narrow, senior decision-makers who are expensive to reach
Three verticals and several regions, each needing its own message
Three channels with wildly different CPCs and intent
No clear read on which spend turned into real leads

02 — The Strategy

Three channels — three clearly different jobs

Rather than spread one message everywhere, we gave each channel the role it's actually good at, and segmented every campaign by vertical and region so the message always matched the buyer.

Google

Volume at low cost

Search & Shopping capture in-market intent at a remarkably low CPC — the efficient top of the pipeline.

LinkedIn

Precision on seniority

Lead Gen Forms target exact titles, industries and company sizes — quality leads where the CPC is justified.

Meta

Stay in view

Mid-funnel reach and retargeting keep the brand present through a long, considered buying cycle.

03 — Execution

Segmented, tracked and tested

Every campaign was split by vertical and region, and the full journey was measured — so budget could move toward what actually produced leads.

  • Separate campaigns per vertical: Subscription, Hospitality, Logistics
  • Region splits for DACH and the Nordics with localized creative
  • Micro-conversion tracking: scroll depth, "Contact Us", "Get in Touch", chat & forms
  • A/B-tested two landing-page versions and kept the stronger one

05 — Why It Worked

Three decisions that made the difference

The right channel for each job

Google for cheap, high-intent volume; LinkedIn for senior-audience precision; Meta to stay present through a long cycle.

Precision B2B targeting

LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms converted 6.95% of clicks into leads by hitting exact titles, industries and company sizes.

Segmented & tested

Per-vertical, per-region campaigns plus landing-page A/B tests kept budget flowing to what actually produced pipeline.
