A capable product. An invisible pipeline.
Envana had the technology to solve one of oil and gas's most pressing challenges: emissions compliance. But in early 2024, it couldn't reach the people who needed it most. Drilling contractors and operators were grappling with the United Nations' OGMP 2.0 framework and a shifting patchwork of U.S., European and global emissions regulations. Yyet Envana's marketing wasn't speaking to any of it.
The result was a commercial team under growing pressure from investors, no predictable lead pipeline, and no reliable connection between marketing activity and revenue. Generic messaging wasn't landing with a technically adept audience that needed clarity, not product pitches. Envana needed to own the conversation, not just participate in it.
Authoritative content. Precise targeting. Full attribution.
Fifth Ring implemented a growth-driven marketing strategy built around one central insight: most drilling companies were still managing emissions data in Excel. Positioning Envana's SaaS platform as the obvious, modern alternative gave the campaign a credible angle that cut through.
A technically rigorous whitepaper, "Lifting the Clouds Around Emissions Reporting for Drilling Companies" anchored the campaign, published through Endeavor Media and supported by a lead-nurturing eBook and targeted LinkedIn advertising.
HubSpot integration delivered end-to-end attribution, connecting each lead to its campaign source and enabling Envana's commercial team to track the journey from content download to qualified conversation. Campaigns were continuously optimised around performance data, with messaging refined against industry events and regulatory developments.
A pipeline that finally worked, and delivered.
Over ten months, the campaign generated 364 high-quality, HubSpot-attributed leads. There were 224 from the OGMP-focused campaign alone, with a further 23 from Scope 3 activity. Within just two months, 117 marketing qualified leads entered the sales pipeline, including 17 from Envana's highest-priority target accounts.
These weren't passive downloads. Leads were actively entering the sales process, giving the commercial team a healthy, qualified pipeline and the data needed to have meaningful conversations. The volume and quality of output significantly outperformed anything Envana's previous marketing had delivered.
From reactive marketing to predictable growth.
The campaign transformed Envana's commercial infrastructure. With attribution in place, the team could model downstream revenue from live pipeline data, something that hadn't been possible before. Sales and marketing aligned around shared metrics for the first time. And Envana shifted from an unknown SaaS platform to a recognised authority in emissions compliance: a strategic partner, not just a software vendor.
