The Quarterly

Report Engine

Counterpoint had brilliant analysts publishing great content that disappeared after 48 hours. I built the system that made it last and converted it into a pipeline machine that delivered 450+ MQLs every quarter, automatically.

The Problem
Great Content Was Evaporating

Counterpoint Research runs on insight. Every week, a team of world-class analysts was publishing reports, blogs, and data pieces on global smartphone markets, wearables, automotive tech, semiconductors, and IoT. The quality was undeniable.

The problem? Each piece got a spike of views on publish day, then vanished. There was no system to aggregate it, no way to use it as a lead capture tool, and no mechanism to bring audiences back week after week. Marketing was reactive – publish, hope, repeat.

There was also a deeper commercial problem: Counterpoint’s most sellable product was its full research reports: premium, gated, high-value. But the free content wasn’t creating a path toward them. The funnel was leaking at every stage.

The Gap

Scattered blogs with no aggregation, no lead capture, and no re-engagement mechanism. Great content being used once and discarded. No pipeline from content to commercial outcome.

The System

The idea: Compile, Gate, Automate, Repeat

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.

“Our content is too technical. Prospects tune out.”

Technical depth is a feature, not a bug if you frame it right. I translate complex B2B narratives into messaging that engineers forward to their CFOs.

“We need someone to guide us through the whole setup.”

Strategy + execution + automation + reporting. Most agencies stop after slide 47 of the deck. I stay until it runs on its own. HubSpot, content ops, attribution – the full stack.

“Most marketers would have stopped at the PDF. The PDF was the easy part. What turned this into a pipeline was everything built around it — the landing page, the workflow, the sequencing, the re-engagement. That’s where most content programmes fail.”

Cognitio Analytics had data. What they didn’t have was a system to turn it into pipeline. Built the full architecture: lead capture, scoring, segmentation, and automated nurture sequences. No agency. No handholding. Just a working system.
