Their goal was to scale lead generation and close high-quality deals through a data-backed approach. ### **Challenge:** Artisan needed to uncover which marketing channels were most effective for lead generation while maintaining a lean, efficient budget. Generic outreach and inconsistent performance across platforms made it difficult to consistently find engaged, high-intent prospects. ### **Solution:** Artisan integrated the beehiiv Ad Network into a broader multi-channel strategy that included social media, outbound, and paid ads. beehiiv enabled A/B testing across newsletters, helped refine messaging, and revealed which channels delivered the highest returns—making it a cornerstone of their marketing mix. ### **Results:** - 176 sales meetings booked - 4 closed deals - $68,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR) ## Related Case Studies ![How AdQuick Scaled Industry Sponsorships with beehiiv's Ad Network](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/Z_VpXHdAxsiBwdKG_adquick.png?auto=format,compress) ### How AdQuick Scaled Industry Sponsorships with beehiiv's Ad Network Solving scale and visibility challenges in B2B marketing [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/adquick) ![How Particle for Men Generated a 1.73 ROAS Through Newsletter Ads](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/abfLOrbci2UF6CEY_Untitleddesign-34-.png?auto=format,compress) ### How Particle for Men Generated a 1.73 ROAS Through Newsletter Ads Scaling newsletter advertising to 8.3M readers while achieving 809 conversions with beehiiv [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/particle-for-men) ![The Founder Who Turned His 400k+ Newsletter Into a Negative CAC Machine](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/afL59cBOoF08xfCT_Untitleddesign-36-.png?auto=format,compress) ### The Founder Who Turned His 400k+ Newsletter Into a Negative CAC Machine How Open Source CEO pioneered model where newsletter ad revenue offsets customer acquisition costs with beehiiv.
