Key learnings
The campaign revealed a critical insight: a single founder LinkedIn thread drove approximately 30% of webinar registrations at effectively $0 media cost. This validated the strategic importance of founder-led content in the channel mix and highlighted that earned social amplification significantly outperforms paid social channels at lower cost.

Connection to broader strategy
The Onboarding Analytics campaign operationalized the core value proposition — "cut a new customer's time-to-value by ~41%, and lift onboardings handled per CSM by 2.4x" — by making the time-to-value metric tangible and measurable. The campaign drew strength from the content engine, particularly the benchmark data flywheel that lent credibility to messaging and earned significant SEO backlinks. Marketing plan & notes.md
