From referral-only to structured pipeline
Ammara Event

World-class product. Zero structured marketing. Entirely referral-dependent.

Amaara Botanicals came to Big Leap with strong fundamentals — a high-quality herbal product range, GMP certification, and a growing customer base built entirely through word-of-mouth and referrals. The business was growing, but the growth was unpredictable. When referrals were flowing, pipeline was healthy. When they weren't, the pipeline dried up with nothing to replace it.

The problem wasn't product quality. It was that Amaara had no structured marketing system — no LinkedIn presence, no outreach program, no brand assets, no way to reach B2B brands sourcing private-label herbal products at scale. Every new client was a result of someone knowing someone. The company had no way to find the next client independently.

The brief was broad and ambitious: build the full B2B marketing system from scratch — brand, digital presence, outreach, content, video, events — in a way that produced compounding pipeline across multiple channels simultaneously.

100% referral dependent

Every new client came through a personal introduction or existing client referral. No structured way to find new clients independently — growth was entirely at the mercy of who the existing network happened to know.

No brand presence in the B2B herbal sector

B2B brands sourcing private-label herbal products research suppliers online before engaging. Amaara had no professional website, no LinkedIn presence, no content, and no video — invisible to the buyers who mattered most.

No way to communicate product credibility at scale

Amaara's GMP certifications, product quality, and formulation expertise were real and significant — but communicated only through personal conversations, never through scalable marketing assets that could reach buyers without the founder being in the room.

Six channels. One coordinated B2B marketing system.

Amaara's engagement was Big Leap's most comprehensive — a full B2B marketing build across six simultaneous channels, each one designed to compound with the others. The principle: a buyer who sees Amaara's LinkedIn content, receives an outreach message, watches their corporate video, and encounters them at an industry event is a dramatically warmer prospect than one who receives a single cold outreach message.

Event Marketing

Industry event strategy, collaterals, and follow-up automation

Brand foundation first. Then multi-channel reach.

The sequencing of a full B2B marketing build matters as much as the components. We started with the brand foundation — because every other channel we'd build would point back to the brand, the website, and the corporate video as credibility verification points.

1

Brand positioning and messaging framework

We started by defining Amaara's positioning precisely — not "herbal product manufacturer" but a specific statement about who they serve, what makes their formulation expertise distinctive, and why a B2B brand sourcing private-label herbal products should choose them over alternatives. This framework became the foundation for every piece of content, every outreach message, and every event conversation.

2

Corporate video production

We briefed and produced a brand video covering Amaara's GMP-certified facility, formulation process, product range, and quality certifications. The video served as the primary credibility asset across all channels — shared in LinkedIn outreach follow-ups, embedded on the website, played at events, and included in email nurture sequences. One asset, deployed across six channels.

3

LinkedIn outreach to B2B herbal product buyers

We built an ICP of B2B brands sourcing private-label herbal products — nutraceutical brands, wellness companies, pharma companies adding herbal lines — and built a verified contact list of procurement heads and product development managers. LinkedIn connection and DM sequences personalised to each contact's company and role, with the corporate video and product range linked in follow-up messages.

4

Social media content program

A structured LinkedIn and Instagram content calendar — formulation insights, certification highlights, product launches, and thought leadership from Amaara's founders. Content published consistently at 3 times per week across both platforms, building the brand's organic presence and establishing the company's voice in the B2B herbal space.

5

Email marketing and nurture sequences

A structured email marketing program covering new contact welcome sequences, product launch announcements, certification updates, and industry insight newsletters. Every contact from LinkedIn outreach, events, and inbound entered an automated email nurture sequence that kept Amaara top-of-mind between active sales conversations.

6

Event marketing strategy and follow-up

We built an event marketing playbook — booth design brief, collateral requirements, contact capture process, and a structured follow-up automation that activated within 24 hours of every event. Exhibition contacts entered an automated sequence rather than falling cold after the event ended. Every event became a pipeline-building moment rather than a one-time networking exercise.

Qualified pipeline grew 3.2x compared to the referral-only baseline. Multiple channels contributing independently — the system no longer required referrals to sustain pipeline growth.

3.2x pipeline growth. Referral dependency replaced by structured multi-channel system.

By Month 9, Amaara Botanicals had a marketing system that generated qualified pipeline independently of referrals — across LinkedIn outreach, social media, email nurture, and event follow-up simultaneously. The pipeline was no longer dependent on who the founders happened to know. It was dependent on the system.

3.2x
Pipeline growth

Qualified pipeline value grew 3.2x over the 9-month engagement compared to the referral-only baseline — driven by six simultaneous marketing channels rather than personal introductions.

6
Active pipeline channels

Brand authority, LinkedIn outreach, social media, corporate video, email marketing, and event marketing all contributing to pipeline simultaneously — reducing single-channel dependency entirely.

Brand authority

Amaara Botanicals became a visible, credible brand in the B2B herbal sourcing space — with consistent LinkedIn presence, professional video assets, and a recognisable voice in the sector.

Lead quality

Leads generated through the marketing system arrived warmer than referral leads — having seen the brand's content, the corporate video, and the certification profile before the first conversation.

"Partnering with Big Leap has been a game-changer. Their expertise in B2B marketing helped us scale significantly — we saw tangible growth in brand awareness, lead generation, and revenue. The system they built for us works even when we're not actively selling."

— CEO, Amaara Botanicals

What we built for Amaara Botanicals
