Guild (Paid Media)

Guild was founded in 2015 with one simple belief: when opportunity is as evenly distributed as talent, everyone benefits. Individuals rise, companies grow, and our economy thrives. As AI and evolving technologies disrupt the very nature and future of work, that belief became stronger than ever.

‍

The pace of change is accelerating, and the need for opportunity is only greater. Targeting mostly Senior Leadership at Fortune 500 companies as clients, Guild was struggling to reach and nurture their addressable market. Part of this stemmed from a struggle to clearly articulate who they were and what they did, as well as challenges with proper data collection and attribution.

Since the client had a fairly up-to-date contact list of their very niche total addressable market and their sales cycle was extremely long (1+ year), it was even more imperative to break them down further into segments based on key milestones and layer the right messaging to keep leads nurtured. We:
