Historically, many companies leveraged virtual campaigns to augment sales campaigns in order to build awareness and generate top-of-funnel leads. The current economic and sales environment had caused a paradigm shift. These days, digital campaigns need to produce handraisers who are ready to buy. What’s a handraiser, you may ask? It’s someone who explicitly says, “I am interested in your product—let’s talk.” It’s essentially another term for a sales-qualified lead.
In this case study, we’ll take a look at how one midsize company in the veterinary space leveraged Brief’s digital marketing engine to fuel their handraiser campaign and generate high sales conversions.
Case Study
An established midsized company in the veterinary industry launched a campaign designed to convert prospects into handraisers for a product demonstration. The campaign offered entry into a drawing in exchange for the prospect’s engagement in a demonstration with a sales representative. The Brief team leveraged the company’s messaging and digital assets to execute a targeted campaign to decision makers.

Campaign Results
The campaign was executed both to the company’s highly engaged house database and the target audience established through Brief Media. Campaign metrics were tracked separately to determine performance.
- House Database
- 85% conversion rate of demo-request handraisers to meetings
- 30% conversion rate of meetings to sales
- 25% overall conversion rate of handraisers to sales
- Brief Media Target Audience
- 67% conversion rate of demo-request handraisers to meetings
- 38% conversion rate of meetings to sales
- 25% overall conversion rate of handraisers to sales
Overall. Brief Media was able to attract a new pool of handraisers that the company wouldn’t have been able to attract through their own house list and performed higher on request-to-meeting conversions. Brief’s conversion rate from handraises to sales was in alignment with the company’s performance of a 25% conversion rate.
