Most founders sit in the messy middle: you’ve tried ChatGPT, grabbed a few quick wins…and now everything feels stuck. 

Tools don’t talk to each other, the team isn’t sure when, or why, to use them, and the gap between “interesting experiment” and “a business that runs on AI” just keeps widening.

emigre helps you bridge that gap.

With PhD-level research skills in data science, plus the scars (and wins) of first-hand business experience, emigre partners with founder-led service businesses to future-proof their operations. 

We start by mapping how your work really happens, then designing a tight set of AI moves that clear bottlenecks, multiply your best content, and come with clear ROI numbers that often surprise.

Those same founders say they’re tired of:
• Feeling overwhelmed by half-baked AI experiments with no clear next step
• Watching their teams struggle to choose the right tool for the job
• Wondering how to measure success or where to invest after that first “wow” moment

The AI Transformation Sprint finishes with a simple playbook the team can run, plus a short list of shiny ideas to ignore so you focus only on what moves the needle. 

If you’d like hands-on help, we can also implement and manage the new workflows for you, or you can run with the playbook in-house – it's your call.

Results clients see: 40+ staff hours freed each month, articles and videos repurposed automatically across channels, and capacity that doubles without new hires. 

emigre has worked with brands like BVNK, Brandwatch, GoCardless, Paddle, and ComplyExpress, on SEO, content, and early-stage AI projects – always keeping their voice and standards intact.

Most go-to-market strategies for sales-led SaaS are still broken.

They usually fall into one of two camps:

“Just run some LinkedIn ads and hope for demos.”
“Just do outbound harder/ more volume”

Both ignore how modern B2B buyers actually behave.

So we built a different GTM motion.

A LinkedIn-first GTM system for sales-led SaaS that combines:
→ LinkedIn Ads
→ Strategic content
→ Signal-based + warmbound

This is the exact strategy we’re using to book demos with:
Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, IBM, HubSpot, McKinsey, Subway, and more.

What this GTM strategy actually does:
• Warms your ICP before outbound ever fires
• Uses LinkedIn Ads as a content delivery engine, not just lead gen
• Turns ad engagement, content views, and site visits into outbound signals
• Lets SDRs focus on people who are already aware, not cold strangers
• Works especially well for small ICPs, high ACV, long sales cycles

In short:
Demand gen + demand capture + outbound, finally stitched together properly.

I recorded a deep-dive video breaking down the full strategy step by step, including:
→ How to build the right account list (and segment it properly)
→ How we run middle-of-funnel LinkedIn ads for 180-day nurture
→ The exact content buckets that warm accounts fast
→ How we turn ad + content engagement into outbound signals
→ How warm outbound consistently outperforms cold
→ Where Google Ads fits (and where it doesn’t)
→ The outbound flows we’re deploying for clients right now

If you’re running a sales-led B2B SaaS and need demos, this will save you months of trial and error.

Comment “GTM” and I’ll send you the video + playbooks images.

LinkedIn Ads Specialist | Dm Me To Access My full LinkedIn Ads Playbooks👇 | Rooftop Cinema Owner🍿

I had a client last year where they pushed me really hard to run 80k a month on lead gen ads.

To my surprise, it worked really well… until it didn’t.

The pressure to keep performance meant I was always testing and pushing new audiences.

I could see the quality dropping and costs spiralling, until they eventually said LinkedIn ads stopped working.

My recommendation to them, pretty much every single week (in our weekly meetings), was that we needed to re-distribute budget heavily into the middle of funnel, especially thought leader ads.

We needed more budget on demand gen, not just capture.

One reason this worked so well for so long was that we went heavy on incentive ads.

But it ended badly in the end.
This is actually quite normal.

I often like to start with this kind of strategy where we mine for in-market leads.

But it always spikes… and then flatlines without investing in the middle.

The big issue, and the reason why companies don’t redistribute budget into content distribution/demand gen with thought leader ads, is that it’s super hard to measure.

This was before I started using Fibbler.
(we are now rolling this out for all our clients)

What Fibbler does really well is reporting on influenced pipeline (among other things).

This is super useful, as now we can show and tell a compelling story on how the LinkedIn ads, many of which are designed for zero click, or just content consumption natively, are impacting your pipeline. 

LinkedIn is an amazing content distribution channel.

It often does the heavy lifting, using LinkedIn ads a content distribution channel...communicating:
– who you are
– what you do
– your social proof

This is often done with thought leader ads (which, in my opinion, is the best way to deliver this content).

Then the lead comes in later, either through branded search, direct, unknown (or your lead gen ads)

What’s cool with Fibbler is that we can now see how much influenced pipeline and revenue came from the ads.

Having this clarity makes it much easier, not only for me to sell this strategy to clients, but also for the people I work with inside these companies to show it to their superiors.

It’s honestly a major win.

If you’re running mostly lead gen ads, I think you’ll win for a while, but in the long run it’s a losing battle.

You’ll burn through all your in-market buyers, and then one day you’ll be left scratching your head wondering why the ads stopped working.

Investing in middle-of-funnel content distribution and a proper demand gen strategy is key for long-term success.

p.s. This is why I started using Fibbler. If you want to see how LinkedIn Ads influence pipeline and revenue, you can try it free for 30 days at https://lnkd.in/er3uJ9d7

I’ve been building out a framework and SOPs/ playbooks for LinkedIn ads + a GTM outbound motion.

It is in my opinion the best GTM strategy for sales-led SaaS.

It combines LinkedIn ads with warmbound, signals-based outbound + cold outbound.

Watch the full deep-dive playbook video here:
https://lnkd.in/eAVnmQxE

LinkedIn ads warm up a list of prospects.

Outbound converts them.

Signals such as…
+ website visitors
+ thought leader ad engagement
+ topic listening
...help massively with the timing of the outbound message.

LinkedIn ads + warmbound is a major part of this system.

Outbound is an amazing way to reach in-market buyers, but when done cold, reply rates are often very low.

With LinkedIn, we mostly use thought leader ads to warm up a list of prospects, increase penetration rate, and get frequency high enough, then go outbound to those same people.

This is warmbound.

We also have other sources of warm audience, such as the Companies tab on LinkedIn, which shows engaged companies, both organic and paid.

All of this combined creates a much more efficient, more predictable outbound motion.

I’m releasing a deep dive video on this, likely tomorrow, where I’ll break the whole system down step by step.

Watch out for tomorrow’s post 🙌

Excited to be back. Generic post, I know.

But genuinely, I was a little nervous coming back, but now that I am getting started I am more excited than ever to get our 2026 plans underway.

We have some very big growth plans this year.

One of the main metrics Omar Aboushady (head of ops) and I look at is churn. 
We want this down to close to 0%.

Our plan to make this happen:

1) Just get real ridiculously good results for our clients. None of the other sh£t matters if we don’t get this right.

Late last year, we launched our full LinkedIn ads + GTM outbound motion for sales-led B2B SaaS.

This is by far the best go-to-market motion we know for sales-led B2B SaaS (or any sales-led B2B to be fair).

I will be releasing a ton of content around this in the coming days/weeks.

But it heavily leans on LinkedIn ads (thought leader ads specifically) and signal-based outbound / warm outbound.

The results we are getting for our clients are really insane. 

Send me a dm if you want me to walk you through this. 

2) Go above and beyond. This means if they expect something done in a few days, get it done quicker.

Make them feel we actually we give a sh*t. Which we do.

Luckily for me, I have a ridiculously amazing team who really do care.

We need more LinkedIn ads pros or demand gen managers to join our team as soon as possible.

DM me if you are interested.

3) Keep testing strategies. 
Test, test, test. 
It is an essential part of what I do. 

We run so many mini experiments and from that we come up with new playbooks.

It is clear that most people just run the same safe playbook over and over. 

I think things are changing so fast we need to keep testing and amending how we deliver the strategies.

Excited to get moving 😉

p.s. Photo in Thailand with my partner Daniela Gali, flying back to Bangkok. Miss the islands so much :)

Pretty solid early results for a LinkedIn Thought Leader Ad Engagement →Trigify.io → Clay → HeyReach.io

Just getting started really and will post way more of this as we get results in. 
Also launching this all internally and AB testing a bunch of things. 

Here, we are gathering all the commenters/engagers on our thought leader ads, then connecting with them and sending a message. 

It goes via clay to check if it is ICP or not. 
Then only ICP goes to automation. 

52% connection acceptance rate
27.3% reply rate

I am pretty happy with these results. 

The difficulty I have at the moment is scaling out the volume of engagement/comments on a post. 

So far the cost per engagement/ comment from thought leader ads is quite high. 

If you are running them anyway i would have this automation set up eitherway. but stay tuned as I am determined to figure out how to get the cost per engagement way down so we can scale this out. 

---
P.S. This is exactly how we build LinkedIn Ads + GTM outbound systems for our clients.
If you want to explore a hybrid setup like this for your b2b SaaS, feel free to reach out.

7 out of 10 of my scheduled calls this month came from our internal LinkedIn ads. 

The total cost per call is roughly $300
(well the results are still coming in)

Here is exactly how i run these ads...

+ Thought Leader ad driving to a landing page (clear CTA with link)
+ High-converting opt-in page, converting at 40%+
+ 6-email follow-up sequence sent to all leads, averaging ~52% open rates
+ All leads pushed into Clay for enrichment and qualification
+ Automated LinkedIn connection requests + helpful follow-up messages, focused on sharing relevant content (no hard sell)
+ Sales-led email with a soft CTA, 'if you need help, book a call'

I’ll be sharing the full breakdown in the next few days, including exact CPCs, conversion rates, and end-to-end funnel metrics for the month

I think running LinkedIn ads to gated content is gonna have a massive comeback. Here is why:

The main reason ppl don’t like gated content (or gated asset) lead gen is that 97% of those leads are not “in market”…

…so sales waste a ton of time trying to convert them into a demo.

But with an automated GTM outbound motion, we remove this friction:

We now flow all asset or content leads via Clay and then into HeyReach + Instantly for automated outbound messages.

The idea here is not to convert more than 3–5 out of 100 (3%–5%) into demos / sales calls.

But because it’s mostly automated, it makes a ton of sense now.

Whereas before, sales would get super frustrated because they’d get so few replies back.

Then they’d stop taking these leads seriously. This is why it failed.

Now with automated outbound, the numbers start making a lot more sense.

We personally get sales calls at about $300 per call from this flow (which, for us, makes a lot of sense as a business).

But what’s even better is that the other 97 out of 100 go into a nurture flow, and I have direct access to email them.

48% of these ppl read at least 6 follow-up emails, which warms them up to me, our brand, and what we do.

Some of these convert months down the line, so that $300 per sales call is just the directly attributable ones.

If I included the ones that convert later, this number would drop considerably.

Personally, we’re going hard internally on content lead gen, as we collect contact info at a much more affordable price than just running demo ads.

I think owning direct access to your ICP via email is really important. 
You never know when LinkedIn changes its algorithm, or ads stop working or something else changes. 

If you have a solid email marketing or newsletter follow-up, then collecting low-ish intent but super high-value leads makes a ton of sense. 

to me at least. 

----
p.s. if you'd like me to look at your LinkedIn ads + GTM strategy for 2026 then hit me up. Happy to walk you through how we run this for our clients.

It’s often the Linkedin ghosts that end up scheduling a call with me. 
no like. no comments. nothing.
then when i ask how did you hear about me they say…

‘your linkedin posts, been following you for ages’

Here is how i target them with Linkedin ads + Outbound…

1. go to the companies tab.
2. filter for organic impressions
3. turn that list into an audience.
4. Export it to clay, filter for ICP, then connect with the right ppl from these companies. 

Honestly this is a new test, so i do not have much data around it, but excited to see if it has any impact on anything at all. 

Long story short, the companies tab in LinkedIn campaign manager is full of super useful data worth some testing!

Here is the signals-based outbound flows we are building on top of our LinkedIn ads...👇

Background:
With LinkedIn ads and especially thought leader ads, we create a ton of signals, which could be a signal that someone is 'in market' for your service or product. 

We have found that these automations have increased the performance of outbound + squeezed out more juice by lowering the CPA from our ads. 

LinkedIn ads + outbound should work hand in hand in our opinion. 

Here’s what we are doing at Kiin.

1️⃣ Social Engagement → Outbound
Tools: Triggify → Clay → HeyReach/Aimfox → Instantly

What happens:
Your thought leader ads get a steady stream of reactions and comments (e.g. we got 38 this month just from one).

We’ll automatically collect all engagement via Trigify.

Clay will filter these people by ICP.

ICP contacts will be sent into HeyReach for a small connection + follow-up sequence.

If they don’t accept, they’ll receive a short email via Instantly.
Goal: Turn warm social signals into conversations.

2️⃣ LinkedIn Demo Request Leads → Fast Follow-Up
Tools: Clay/ HeyReach + Instantly
What happens:
Both “content download” leads and “demo request” leads require fast but slightly different messaging.

Each lead type will enter a tailored HeyReach sequence including:

LinkedIn connection request

InMail

Follow-up email via Instantly

All messaging will stay conversational, short, and friendly.
Goal: Increase reply rates and move leads into real conversations quickly.

3️⃣ Content leads → automated warm touch
 Content downloads aren’t dead, they just got misused.
 We don’t throw these to sales.
 We warm them up first.
 Auto-connect on LinkedIn.
 Send them more useful content.
 Follow up with a helpful email.
 3-5%+ conversion to call from this alone.

4️⃣ Website Visitors → Warm Outbound
Tools: Dreamdata → Instantly + HeyReach
What happens:
Anyone visiting your website (via your tracking tools) will go into:

A warm email sequence

A LinkedIn connection sequence
Goal: Capture intent from people already looking at the product.

5️⃣ Topic listening → signal-based cold

 Use Trigify to track people engaging with posts about your niche (e.g.,LinkedIn Ads).
If they’re liking/commenting on similar stuff, add to a list.
Outbound with relevance (not “I saw you liked…” BS).
Not warm. But not cold either.

----
p.s. if you want me to send you a link to the doc in the video comment asking for it below 🥳

I recently got told that I seem to be everywhere.

Cool thing is they are a new client.

They said, we want to be everywhere like you.

The truth is I am pretty much nowhere, but it feels like everywhere to a small group of people.

Here is how I make people feel like I am everywhere….

1 ) I invest significantly in retargeting on LinkedIn.

I make sure my thought leader ad posts hit anyone who has been…
 a ) on my website
 b ) engaged with any of my organic or paid posts (with exclusions)
 c ) been on my company page
 etc

2 ) I push lead gen to both cold + RTG audiences.

This collects emails.

Then I have a super strong follow-up email nurture sequence.

Email is underrated. 

Around 48% of the people who give me their email on average read all 6 emails over the course of 6 days.

They are just full of helpful content. No sales.

3 ) I go outbound to people who engage with me or give me their email.

Again, this is just with super helpful content.

Normally a longer Loom video, which is one of our playbooks.

So if you sign up for my lead magnet…

+ you end up getting retargeted with thought leader ads
+ you get a bunch of super deep-dive, helpful emails
+ you get sent a personal message from me linking to a deep-dive playbook video

So after a week or so, you feel like I am everywhere.

Also, retargeting people well, with enough content on LinkedIn, makes you feel everywhere, as every time someone logs in they see your post.

All of this is very marketing-led. I just bombard people with as much helpful content as possible.

Genuinely helpful. I do not hide how we run things. I am super transparent.

p.s. if you would like me to have a look at your LinkedIn ads, i run free LinkedIn ad audits for key accounts 🙏🏼

Account-based targeting on LinkedIn should be approached totally differently to bigger ICPs.

If you have a small, defined account list, think 500 to 1,000 companies, this is not a classic top, middle, bottom funnel game.

Example:
1,000 target accounts × 4 job titles = ~4,000 people.

With a list this small, the classic strategy doesn't make as much sense. 
Instead, with the list you go straight to the middle content delivery part.

For me, the middle is normally a 180-day retargeting and nurture layer where the goal is simple:

Get your ICP to...
+ know who you are
+ what you do
+ how you’re different
+ old way vs new way
+ you vs alternatives.
+ Social Proof

If you have a small ICP, you almost always have:
 • High ACV
 • Long sales cycles
 • Multiple stakeholders

That means it’s more important than ever to be consistently in front of the same people with a lot of content.

This strategy is about content delivery, not just lead capture.

The main metrics I care about here are very different:

+ Frequency
 Every piece of content should hit 5–10 impressions per person over time.

+ Penetration rate
 How much of the total account list are we actually reaching?

+ Engagement signals
 Engagement rate, clicks to site, landing page CPC, dwell time.

The goal isn’t immediate conversion.
The goal is familiarity.

Then, and only then, you layer on demand capture:
 • GTM outbound
 • Sales-led ads
 • Bottom-funnel offers
---
PS. I’m doing a few free LinkedIn Ads + GTM outbound audits.
If you want a straight-up breakdown of your ads and GTM motion with clear, actionable feedback, DM me.

I know email is boring, but this is actually one of our most important client acquisition channels we run.

Kiin.co - Linkedin Ads Agency now has 3,450 email subs 
(as if i check this 5 times a day…don’t judge me 🙄) 

I am talking about email follow-ups + our newsletter when i say email (not cold/warm outbound).

Here are some current stats:
+ 54% of people who sign up read at least the next 6 emails, sent daily over 6 days
+ This is up from 48% just a couple of months ago (updated the content)
+ We then send 1 email per week for the next 4 weeks (gonna grow this for the next 6 months)
+ Those emails still get 45–50% open rates
+ Nearly 50% of people are still reading email #10, almost 5 weeks later

Every email is packed with our best content, literally i try to pack it with our best, most useful, actionable content. 

You are only as good as your last email . 
so no bullSh%t emails. 
Each one has gotta be good. 

Each email also has a p.s. at the end which is the CTA (speak to me if xyz type thing). 
This is a soft CTA, not in our face. 

We get leads at $18/lead (vps of marketing/demand gen/growth roles in B2B Saas companies). 
Planning on scaling this out. 

I speak to B2B SaaS companies every day and their email follow-ups are either all sales or sales emails disguised as marketing. 
And they wonder why noone is opening the second and third email. 

i love email, because you acquire a sub once and then you have access to them for free for months after that. 

Also i don't trust LinkedIn or the social media platforms not to suddenly change the algorithm, and make my organic reach drop again. 

Or ad platgforms (looking at you linkedin) to keep increasing the CPMs year on year. 

Gotta own your own media not rent it as they say...

——
p.s. if you need some eyes on your Go-To-Market strategy, dm me. happy to help.

LinkedIn Lead gen forms can be a really powerful way to capture existing demand in your market. 

but there is a fall off from ppl submitting a form to actually booking into the calendar. 

Even with the Calendly integration, the conversion here can sometimes be low. 

The key difference i have found which gets this high is a really solid fast follow-up. 

This both means speed, and multiple channels (email/LinkedIn + maybe a cold call). 

We have had a couple of clients where this conversion rate was super low. 

Turns out they had quite a slow follow-up. And we all know a fast follow-up is super important here.

today we can just automate it in a super easy way. So this shouldn't never be an issue ever again.

Here is how we do it:

+ Demo Lead comes in but doesn’t book the calendar
+ Lead gets pushed into Clay, enriched, and checked for ICP fit
+ If it’s a fit, Clay pushes them into LinkedIn for an auto connection request
+ In parallel, they get a sales-led email with the booking link
+ If no reply, they get an InMail a couple of days later, plus one final follow-up, all automated

p.s. we are building out GTM motions for sales-led SaaS companies, which include LinkedIn ads with warm / signal-based outbound. If this is of interest, feel free to DM me.

Just released this article all about the full Linkedin ads GTM strategy we use with clients to get meetings with Oracle, Tesla, Microsoft and Meta. 

There is also 20 minute deep dive loom plauybook video in the article:

This is what's in it:
+ How to combine LinkedIn Ads + outbound into one coherent GTM system
+ How to use LinkedIn Ads to warm accounts at scale (so outbound stops feeling cold)
+ How signals-based outbound works, and which signals actually matter
+ How to run warm outbound using high-penetration account lists, not random scraping
+ How all three layers (ads, signals, outbound) work together to book more demos with less resistance

Have a read and let me know if it was helpful 🙏🏼

Open article: How We Combine LinkedIn Ads + Outbound to Book Demos at Scale by Philip Ilic • 6 min read

How We Combine LinkedIn Ads + Outbound to Book Demos at Scale

Why is it when I upload a new list to my existing LinkedIn ads I get a flood of new sign ups?!

This has happened a couple times now. 

The list is super similar to the one that was there before. Massive overlap. 

Feels like just refreshing it gives gives it a little boost for a few weeks. 🧐

I've been using a list I got from Crunchbase as my main targeting for my LinkedIn ads recently

All I do is put some super helpful content in front of these ppl.
100% thought leader ads

basically a couple video posts. 
Mostly text posts. 
One or two image ones.

What is important for us as our budget is still pretty small (about 5k now/month) is that we do not have too big of a list. 

The list needs to match our budget. 

This is important to make sure we not only get max penetration rates but to make sure we get each bit of content hitting as many ppl as possible with at least 5 impressions. 

I normally work from about 5 bits of content times 5 impressions each at a minimum. 

the content is usually product-led, or for use how we help ppl, our specific systems etc. Some social proof. 

Once i see these accounts have reached a significant penetration rate/ enough impressions on each bit of content we then go outbound. 

a LinkedIn connection and then message + cold email. 

this been really effective to get some high reply rates. 

ppl know who i am when i reach out to them. 

and outbound is an amazing conversion channel. 

Will share deeper results and specific numbers to my newsletter subs first. 

will drop a link below, subscribe to get all my LinkedIn ad and GTM experiments before everyone else :)

p.s. Subscribe to the newsletter here to get deep dive breakdowns on all the tests i am running for both LinkedIn ads + GTM outbound :)
