B2B SaaS / HR techClient: Northbridge HRIS
Challenge
A US HRIS vendor wanted APAC entry but had no local presence, no localized content, and no awareness in Singapore, Australia, or Japan. Cold outbound from US SDRs was returning 0.4% reply rates.
Approach
Built localized LinkedIn ABM in 4 languages targeting 1,200 named accounts across SG, AU, HK, and JP. Hosted 12 regional virtual roundtables with local HR leaders as headliners. Used 6sense intent data to time outreach within 7 days of category research signals.
Result
USD $7.4M ARR closed in 18 months from APAC. Reply rates on localized LinkedIn outreach hit 8.7%. The roundtable program produced 41% of total APAC pipeline.
