Case study / Ross Video / Marketing

Ross Video retired a six-figure marketing stack with AI automation.

We rebuilt how Ross Video's marketing team runs trade shows and measures performance, with AI workflows that live inside the tools they already use.

The short version

AI-written outreach, auto-built show reports, and one in-house analytics platform that replaced Funnel.io, BigQuery, Marketing Cloud reporting, and Looker Studio.

The situation

A heavy trade-show calendar, tools that couldn't keep up.

Ross Video's marketing team runs a heavy trade-show calendar: getting the right people to the booth, following up after, and proving what each show was worth. Three problems stacked up.

  1. 01Booth outreach was manual and generic.
  2. 02Post-show follow-up was slow, so warm leads cooled.
  3. 03Reporting was spread across expensive tools that still needed hours of human assembly.
What we built

Three workflows, running inside their stack.

01

The trade-show email engine

AI-written, personalized outreach that drives the right attendees to the booth, then post-show follow-ups that read like a real person, not a template.

Result
10x CTR · 70% open rate
02

Automated show reporting

After every trade show, the full performance report builds itself: leads, email stats, engagement, packaged for stakeholders.

Result
hours of manual assembly, gone
03

The in-house analytics platform

One reporting platform, built for their team, aggregating Salesforce and Pardot today, with Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Reddit next.

Result
4+ tools → 1 platform they own
The subtraction method

We didn't add software. We replaced it.

The custom platform retired the paid reporting stack the team was stitching together, and replaced it with something they own outright. No new monthly subscription, no per-seat pricing.

  • Funnel.io
  • BigQuery
  • Marketing Cloud reporting
  • Looker Studio
  • one platform they own

Reporting tools like these run enterprises well into six figures a year.
