How Do Advocacy Stories Fuel Revenue Marketing Campaigns?
Customer proof drives pipeline confidence. Turn real outcomes into targeted plays—reviews, case studies, testimonials, references, and UGC—governed by RM6 to lift conversion, win rate, and expansion.
Advocacy stories fuel campaigns by converting customer outcomes into structured proof assets—quotes, short videos, case studies, reviews, and references—tagged by industry, use case, product, segment, stage. Within RM6, these assets are distributed via ad creative, nurture, website modules, sales plays, events, and PR, each carrying Play/Campaign IDs and rights metadata. The result: higher CTR/CVR, faster deal velocity, stronger ACV, and more efficient spend (ROMI).

Source → Approve → Atomize → Orchestrate → Enable → Measure → Govern
- Source stories: Capture outcomes from CS, community, product usage, and NPS; route via intake forms with fields for vertical, use case, results.
- Secure rights: Standard release templates, legal review, and expiry dates; sync rights data to CRM/DAM.
- Atomize content: Derive quotes, graphics, short clips, long-form case studies, and reference-ready blurbs.
- Orchestrate distribution: Place assets into ABX ads, nurtures, landing pages, product tours, event promos—personalized by segment and stage.
- Enable revenue teams: Surface dynamic proof widgets in Sales plays; provide talk tracks and “match proof to account” guidance.
- Measure impact: Track CTR/CVR lift, meeting rate, pipeline sourced/influenced, win-rate lift, ACV change, and cycle time deltas.
- Govern monthly: RM6 council audits rights, performance, and coverage gaps; re-invest in top-performing stories and retire stale proof.
