The Challenge

Wildhood needed to scale outbound and inbound efforts simultaneously while maintaining a premium, trust-led brand.

Key challenges included:

  • No structured GTM or outreach engine
  • Manual CRM processes with limited visibility
  • Need for founder- and leadership-led credibility on LinkedIn
  • Long hospitality sales cycles requiring multi-touch, multi-channel engagement
  • No centralized analytics for leadership review

They needed a partner who could design and run the full GTM cycle, not just individual campaigns.

Our Approach

hb.lance approached Wildhood as a systems-first GTM build, not a channel-by-channel exercise.

We focused on:

  • Laying the operational foundation first (CRM, workflows, dashboards)
  • Activating LinkedIn as a credibility engine for both brand and leadership
  • Designing multi-channel cold outreach aligned with hospitality buying behavior
  • Creating visibility across the entire MQL → SQL journey

The result was a connected GTM system where outreach, content, CRM, and analytics worked together.
