ABOUT ARAGON

Aragon is a New York-based performance marketing firm with a powerhouse mix of affiliate marketing, influencer campaigns, lead gen, and mobile app growth services. With a strong reputation and results-driven mindset, they knew outbound could boost their pipeline, but they needed a partner to turn experiments into a repeatable growth engine.

Client’s challenge

Aragon wasn’t new to outreach, they’d already seen some traction through LinkedIn. But scaling was another story.

🧊 LinkedIn stall-out

Connection limits and low acceptance rates made it hard to gain meaningful traction.

🔀 Scattered targeting

Early campaigns cast too wide a net across too many industries.

📉 Underperforming data:

Some ICPs (like B2B FinTech) just didn’t convert.

🤖 Jargon-heavy messaging:

Especially in Home Services, the pitch needed a human touch.

Solution

We didn’t scrap what was working, we built on it, optimized it, and scaled it.

We respected the client’s preference to start on LinkedIn, but once we hit the ceiling, we brought the data to support a full Cold Email transition. That shift immediately boosted reach and reply volume.
