The insight was straightforward: Counterpoint was already producing the content. It just needed to be packaged, gated, and given a distribution engine.
I proposed the Quarterly Report format, a curated PDF compilation of the quarter’s best content from a single industry vertical, bundled with links to the deeper paid research. It served two purposes simultaneously: it gave prospects a high-value free resource, and it moved them toward Counterpoint’s core commercial product.
Once the first Smartphone Quarterly proved the model, we scaled it. By peak, we were running 5 industry reports per quarter – Smartphones, Wearables, Automotive, IoT, and Semiconductors, each with its own landing page, email sequence, social campaign, and HubSpot workflow. One report per week, every week of launch month.
