3X ROAS Achieved

Problem

Integral approached us with a clear challenge: generate demand from decision-makers at cryptocurrency and Web3 firms through LinkedIn Ads.

The hurdles were significant:

  • No pre-existing lead list — making it difficult to directly target ideal prospects.
  • Broad, undefined audience — without refined targeting, campaigns risked wasted spend and low engagement.
  • High-value but niche market — with an average customer value of $20,000, even a small number of the right leads could deliver significant ROI, but precision was critical.

Without a well-structured targeting strategy, advertising spend could easily be consumed without meaningful results.

Solution

We designed a hyper-targeted LinkedIn Ads strategy to connect Integral with exactly the right audience and generate high-value opportunities:

  1. Persona & Branding Workshop — Collaborated with Integral to clearly define their ideal customer profile (ICP), identifying both decision-makers and influencers within Web3 and cryptocurrency companies.
  2. Refined Targeting Criteria — Mapped out relevant job titles, seniority levels, functions, and company firmographics to focus the audience.
  3. Interest & In-Market Segmentation — Narrowed targeting further by layering interest groups and behavioral signals, ultimately focusing on a highly-qualified audience of under 10,000 people.
  4. Matched Audience Retargeting — Set up campaigns to retarget decision-makers who had engaged with initial ads, showing them more in-depth content and case studies to increase qualification.
  5. Creative Strategy — Developed ad creative that combined brand awareness with product-focused messaging to prompt direct engagement from prospects.

Results

Within just 30 days, Integral’s campaigns delivered measurable wins:

  • 3x return on ad spend (ROAS) in the first month — much faster than the typical 2–3 month ramp-up period for B2B LinkedIn campaigns.
  • 2 high-value opportunities generated, each with an average customer value of ~$20,000.
  • Highly engaged target audience with above-average click-through rates due to precise targeting and refined messaging.
  • A repeatable campaign structure that can scale to reach new segments of the Web3 and cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Conclusion

By focusing on laser-precise targeting and multi-touch engagement, we were able to deliver rapid ROI and set the foundation for sustained growth in a competitive, niche market.

We contracted Ian at Thrasher & Vine for a retargeting campaign and audience job, to which he went above and beyond to work on in a timely manner. The key deliverables were to create 3 different campaign groups, each with their own campaigns and different retargeting metrics in each. He 100% delivered, and took the time to answer our many questions. Thank you Ian & team!
