For Tyler · Wednesday, Oct 28 · Demand Generation

Months 1 to 6: how we turn privacy, security and AI leaders into customers.

Our three seats: me running demand gen, our MDR turning engagement into conversations, and you setting the goals. Below is how we pass the baton, what I'd ship each month, and the ABM, events and ads plan behind it. The tracker opens in Google Sheets, one click away.

Who does what

Three seats, one number.

Demand gen creates the interest, the MDR turns it into conversations, and you set the direction. The hand-offs are where pipeline gets won or lost, so they're written down.

Account-based marketing

The ABM program, in full.

Who we go after, how we know an account is warming up, what we do at each stage, and who does it. Built with the MDR, reviewed every two weeks.

1 · Who: the ideal account and its buying group

Ideal account

  • Industry: banks, insurers, health systems, pharma, regulated tech
  • Size: 1,000+ employees, North America first (Toronto + NYC teams)
  • Trigger: an active AI program on sensitive data (RAG, agents, model training)
  • Pain: lots of unstructured data with PII/PHI: calls, notes, claims, chats
  • Not now: existing customers (RBC, Zurich, Intact, MUFG…) go to customer marketing, not ABM

Buying group (4 roles we must reach)

4 · What: eight modern plays

🎯

Account-named ads

LinkedIn ads that speak to one company's team: "Manulife's AI team is about to hit a data wall." Small budget, very high relevance.

ME builds · MDR follows up on clicks
🧭

A page for every tier 1 account

Their industry, their regulators, their likely use cases, and a 30-minute data review offer. Live examples below.

ME builds · MDR sends
👆

Click-through product tour

An interactive demo per persona (privacy, security, AI), so buyers get the "aha" before they ever book a call.

ME with product · MDR uses in emails
📦

The case file

A printed "case file" mailer to tier 1 CPOs, with a QR to their account page. Tracked: did they scan, who visited after.

ME ships · MDR calls 3 days later
🍽️

Private privacy dinners

8 to 10 privacy and AI leaders in Toronto and NYC. Off the record, no pitch, one great host. Relationships first.

ME runs · TYLER + AE host
🔁

Champion job changes

When a past user moves to a new company, they get a warm "congrats" and a reason to bring us in.

MDR runs · ME builds the alert
📊

Peer benchmark report

"How regulated teams govern sensitive data in AI": a short survey turned into a report the buying group wants to read.

ME runs · MDR uses as a reason to call
🎙️

Show up everywhere

Guest spots on privacy podcasts and newsletters for Patricia and the team, so buyers have "seen us everywhere" before we reach out.

ME pitches · TYLER approves

5 · Personalised account pages (live samples)

One template, a different page for every tier 1 account. Each has its own link, so we know exactly who visited. Open them:

Samples to show the format. Companies chosen because they aren't on Limina's public customer list; nothing has been sent to them.

Events

Make people come to the booth before the event starts.

Inspired by how Exit Five sponsors win events: show up for months before, speak without pitching, run ads to attendees with no offer, and give people something to talk about. Here's the version for privacy and security events.

LESSON 1Be known before you arriveMonths of podcast spots, newsletter mentions and helpful posts in privacy communities, so buyers say "I've seen you everywhere."
LESSON 2Speak, don't pitchA talk on "where PII leaks in RAG pipelines" with zero product slides. The booth gets the traffic.
LESSON 3"See you at IAPP"LinkedIn ads to attendees before the event. No offer, no button. Just a friendly hello they'll remember.
LESSON 4A demo with an "aha"A 90-second booth demo per persona: paste a messy document, watch it redact live, inside the VPC.

Webinars, case studies, rep assets

The engine that feeds everything else.

One webinar a month, one case study a quarter, and every piece cut into assets the MDR and sales can actually use.

Quarterly

Case study program

  • Ask CS + sales for 5 happy customers each quarter
  • 30-minute interview, I write it, customer approves
  • Pipeline tracked: asked → agreed → interviewed → drafted → approved → live
  • Industries we're missing get priority

Goal: 3 published by month 6 (sample).

Every campaign

Rep-ready assets

  • One-pagers per industry
  • "Why Limina vs DIY" comparison
  • Email snippets with proof for the MDR
