[Customer case] Growth Marketing with Toggl Plan

Toggl Plan is a work management tool for digital creative agencies, consultancies, and software implementation teams. It was built to help teams deliver projects on time without burning out.

Since we’re all about work-life balance, we were super happy to get on board and help spread more of that goodness!

At the beginning of our partnership, Toggl Plan needed help with a growth strategy that would take them in the right direction of acquiring the right-fit customers and increasing conversions. So we dove into it head-on with customer research because strategy is never a shot in the dark.

The outcome? We identified Toggl Plan’s Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), redefined their messaging and adjusted their positioning. In their words, our efforts have successfully put them in front of the right audience, which led to a tremendous increase in acquiring the right-fit customers.

Top highlights ✨

Our first sprint with Toggl Plan started in July 2021. ❤️

The biggest highlight from this cooperation was helping Toggl Plan with its growth strategy. Prior to their engagement with Advance B2B, they didn’t have specific KPIs to start with.

ICP acquisition became a core metric to measure after defining their ICPs through customer research and refining their messaging and positioning. The goal was to acquire 1000 ICPs per month by the end of December 2021, and we’d hit that goal in November 2021.

We also had a lot of room to experiment with various campaigns, which resulted in concrete conversion results.
