INDUSTRY — B2B SAAS & SOFTWARE

SaaS marketing for a product someone has to first try, then understand, then love.

Classic B2B advertising mechanics work poorly in SaaS. Buyers research on G2, read Reddit and ask ChatGPT — before you even see them. We build brand work that works in that reality.

Experience with SaaS and software brands across DACH.

OUR THESIS

In SaaS, the buying decision is made before someone talks to sales — sometimes before they click your website.

You don't sell in the funnel, you sell in the discourse. Reviews, communities, AI search, Reddit. Without presence there, you're not in the set — no matter how good the landing page is.

INDUSTRY REALITIES
01

Reviews decide more than advertising.

G2, Capterra, Reddit. Without a review strategy, you lose before the first sales call. Review management is a brand duty.

02

AI search becomes the primary discovery channel.

When ChatGPT recommends a tool, that's the new top-3 in Google. Without being cited, you don't exist.

03

Trial conversion is an onboarding question.

Activation rate is a marketing metric, not product-only. Improving trial conversion without onboarding co-steering fails.

04

Community is a distribution lever.

An active user community delivers 30% of your pipeline — free and more credible than any ad.

KPIs WE STEER BY
MRR / ARR Growth (Net of Churn)
Net growth, not gross bookings. Promo sign-ups with high churn are expensive theatre.
Trial-to-Paid Conversion
Per acquisition source. Highest converter isn't always the highest volume.
Pipeline-Beitrag (Sourced + Influenced)
Sales cycles in weeks to months — last-click falls short.
AI-Search Citation Rate
How often is the brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini? New top-of-funnel metric.
