Structuring a 66% Efficiency Gain in Enterprise Acquisition to Support a £500k ARR Uplift
The client
The UK's preeminent independent architect of Identity Access Management (IAM). They compete directly against capitalized incumbents like Okta and Microsoft. Their proprietary security architecture is a market-leading asset, utilized by high-compliance sectors.
Why they came to us
Despite possessing a structural product advantage, the client operated under a severe "Founder-Led Constraint." The CEO managed the marketing function in a vacuum, while a lean sales unit hit capacity limits. They had incinerated a five-figure ad budget but were wasting time in meetings with "tire kickers".
"We have a number of very compelling differentiators... We just don't get to as many tables as we'd like to." — CEO
What we found
The client was competing on a "Feature Battlefield" rather than an "Economic Battlefield." By marketing technical security specifications to a technical audience, they inadvertently invited comparison with multi-billion dollar incumbents. The market acknowledged their security superiority but purchased based on operational velocity. The friction was not technological; it was narrative.
How we fixed it
Remotir acted as a "Force Multiplier," executing a strategic pivot from "Security Protocols" to "Billable Efficiency."
We identified a specific, high-friction bottleneck common to the target sector's daily workflow that was the root cause of real, quantifiable economic pain to the CxOs.
- Precision Targeting: We shifted focus from IT Administrators to P&L owners who absorb the cost of administrative friction.
- Asset Deployment: We utilized a singular messaging theme demonstrating the real-life impact of our client's software removing the bottleneck.
- Validation Mechanism: The thesis was validated with a surgical test budget, which achieved 2-3x industry standard traction (as measured by click-through rate and decision-maker engagement).
Validated unit economics
Client's verdict
"We don't have a marketing team at the moment... By working with you guys, that gives us a marketing capability that actually delivers lead flow on a consistent basis... why would we ever want to turn that off?"
What this unlocks
With unit economics stabilised at a 66% efficiency gain, the client has moved from "Hypothesis" to "Scale." The roadmap now dictates aggressive geographic expansion, utilizing the verified "Workflow Automation" narrative to secure market share before incumbent competitors can react.
