Case StudiesCASE STUDY · 02 / B2B Engineering

B2B doesn't happen
in a demo call.
It happens on LinkedIn.

Prochem builds turnkey chemical & process plants. Their buyer is a plant head, a project engineer, a procurement lead. That buyer does not read cold emails. They read LinkedIn feeds, and they remember who was there long before the tender opens.

The reality

Enterprise buyers don't
respond to campaigns.

A turnkey plant contract can take 9-18 months to close.

  • The buyer researches quietly, months before the RFQ.
  • They shortlist based on who they already trust.
  • They cross-check LinkedIn presence before a first call.
  • They ask peers, not agencies, who to speak to.

Prochem had the engineering credibility. What they needed was for that credibility to be visible where the buyer was already looking.

Our thesis

We didn't build
a brand.
We built a signal.

In B2B, the buyer doesn't need to be sold to. They need to be reminded, quietly and repeatedly, that you are the obvious answer when the project brief lands on their desk.“Who do we already know can build this?”

01

Founder Voice

Positioned the founder as the technical authority the industry already knew, on the surface it lives on.

02

Engineering Narrative

Turned complex process engineering into stories buyers wanted to save, share and quote back.

03

Signal, Not Reach

Optimised for the right 3,000 engineers seeing the feed, not the wrong 300,000.

04

Repeatable Cadence

A weekly editorial rhythm the team could sustain long after we left the room.

05

Category Authority

Made Prochem the name plant heads mentioned in unrelated conversations.

One signal.
Not fifty campaigns.
12 months on LinkedIn

Small numbers.
The right people.

In B2B, a hundred plant engineers reading you is worth more than a hundred thousand strangers. These numbers are small because the room is small, and the room is the entire point.

What actually shipped

We didn't run
a campaign.
We built an editorial.

Six workstreams, one operating rhythm. Every piece written and shipped as if it would be read by the sharpest plant engineer in the country, because it was.

01 / 06

Founder-first editorial

Turned the founder's decades of plant-floor experience into a weekly LinkedIn editorial, ghost-written with technical fidelity.

02 / 06

Case-teardown format

Broke down real Prochem projects, cement, chemical, process, as short field notes engineers wanted to save.

03 / 06

Category commentary

Timely takes on industry news (CAPEX cycles, plant safety, EPC norms) that only an operator could credibly write.

04 / 06

Employee amplification

Made it easy for the internal engineering team to share, comment and add their own voice, without it feeling forced.

05 / 06

Buyer targeting

Optimised connection requests and outreach for plant heads, procurement leads and consultants in specific SIC verticals.

06 / 06

Editorial rituals

A repeatable weekly rhythm handed over to the internal team: topic bank, review calendar, publishing cadence.

The editorial

Not posts.
Field notes.

A sample of the weekly editorial cadence.

Every piece written like the founder was walking a plant head through a project, quietly, honestly, with details only an operator would know.

The buyer arc

From feed
to contract.

01

Sees a Prochem field note

On the LinkedIn feed of a plant head they respect.

02

Follows the page quietly

To keep reading. No form. No CTA. Just interest.

03

Reads for three months

Category takes, project teardowns, founder essays.

04

A tender lands on their desk

And Prochem is the first name that comes to mind.

05

Reaches out on LinkedIn first

Warm inbound, not a cold call. Different conversation entirely.

06

The contract closes

Nine months of trust, before the first proposal.

Founder spotlight

Built on
the plant floor.

“We spent two decades earning credibility on plant floors. Adcom took that credibility and made it visible to every buyer who mattered, without ever making it feel like marketing. That's the entire difference.”

The final outcome

Reach was not the point.
Recall was.
Contracts followed.

A B2B follower base that tripled in twelve months. Impressions in six figures inside a specialist industry that measures in thousands. And a company that plant heads now think of first, long before they open a tender.

Let's build something
that grows.

Growth isn't built through channels. It's built through systems.
