The Challenge

Blurgs.AI, an emerging player in maritime intelligence was entering a market where handshakes, trade shows, and technical conversations still mattered more than impressions or clicks. 

Selling to naval officers, maritime logistics heads, and state actors meant we couldn’t rely on a digital-only playbook. We had to engineer trust online AND offline

  • Build authority in a low-digital, high-trust industry
  • Communicate complex technical value to military and commercial buyers

Deliver leads that convert without relying on digital-native behavior

Our Approach

We built a dual-channel GTM strategy where every asset was designed to meet buyers where they were. It could be at a trade show booth, in a defense meeting, or browsing whitepapers on LinkedIn.

Rather than pursuing broad reach, the campaign focused on audience precision. The goal was not just visibility, but market relevance and conversion.

Execution

1. Strategic Lead Magnets

  • Created a print+digital eBook as the core lead magnet
  • Designed smaller brochures to function as a visual map of maritime AI use cases
  • Deployed across channels booths, events, outreach, and retargeting
  • Made to be passed around in high-trust offline settings and downloaded digitally

2. Narrative-Led Positioning

  • Reframed from “AI for maritime” to “next-gen maritime intelligence infrastructure”
  • Built trust with a voice designed for high-context, low-noise environments
  • Anchored the brand on outcome clarity and not algorithmic complexity

3. Audience-Filtered Performance Marketing

  • LinkedIn and Google ads with tightly defined ICP filters and exclusion criteria.
  • A/B tests to refine visual hierarchy, clarity, and conversion behavior
  • Used real-time attribution to pinpoint top performing audiences and assets 

4. Lifecycle nurture & Email automation

  • Implemented behavior-triggered email sequences to nurture the lead post-download.
  • Applied lead scoring models to identify sales-ready prospects via engagement depth
  • Re-engaged inactive leads through content refreshes and re-targeted workflows
