Programs can be structured around a guaranteed number of qualified leads delivered over a defined campaign period.

Qualified means qualified for you

Your criteria set the standard.
Every lead is checked.

Your lead criteria define the companies and decision-makers we pursue and which records qualify for delivery.

Every delivered lead begins with an active request for the campaign’s content through a gated landing page. Every form captures contact details, the prospect’s role in the purchase decision and purchase-timing responses.

Before delivery, records are researched, enriched, scrubbed, deduplicated and checked against your agreed criteria. Sales receives the contact information and qualification responses needed for follow-up.

Content is the fuel

Each campaign begins with a research-led content asset developed around your market, your solution and the questions your buyers need answered. Formats include co-branded eBooks and benchmark reports.

The content is produced by Starfleet Research, a recognized leader in IT market research. It helps buyers understand best practices, evaluate technologies and make informed decisions while supporting your market education and thought leadership goals.

Research with practical value

Our research examines how top-performing organizations use technology, processes and resources to improve results, and which metrics they use to assess progress.

The Starfleet Velocity engine

Intelligence that keeps the campaign moving.

Here’s how targeting, outreach and lead qualification connect throughout your campaign.

01

Prospect intelligence and segmentation

AI-assisted research combines Starfleet’s proprietary databases, client-supplied account lists, campaign engagement data and intelligence from approved public sources. Entity extraction, identity resolution, firmographic enrichment and account mapping help build a more complete prospect profile.

Company profile
Industry, operating segment, geography, revenue, employee count, locations, ownership and management structure.
Buying roles
Decision-makers, leadership responsibilities, job function, seniority and client-defined qualification attributes.
Business activity
Openings, expansions, renovations, funding, acquisitions, executive changes, technology initiatives and operational priorities.
Fit and engagement
Previous content interactions, behavioral signals and engagement-weighted scoring help refine audience segments and account priorities.

Prospects are evaluated against your target criteria, with segments and scores refined as new intelligence and engagement signals enter the program.

02

Personalized outreach at scale

AI-assisted personalization adapts subject lines, messaging, research findings, calls to action and content recommendations to each prospect.

Company context
Market segment, company activity, growth plans and likely technology requirements shape the message.
Buyer context
Role, seniority, business priorities and position in the buying journey guide content selection.
Campaign context
Previous interactions help determine relevant follow-up, timing and the next content recommendation.

Personalization uses approved content and prospect intelligence within campaign strategy and editorial guardrails. A restaurant owner opening a location receives different messaging from the CIO of a multi-unit enterprise.

03

Coordinated campaign execution

AI-assisted workflows connect prospect research, outreach and lead qualification. Publications, advertising and personalized outreach follow a shared campaign plan.

Discover and research
Identify target accounts and decision-makers, then enrich company and contact intelligence.
Score and personalize
Evaluate prospect fit and adapt approved messaging and content to individual recipients.
Activate and monitor
Manage campaign sequences, cadence and channels while monitoring prospect and account-level engagement.
Qualify and optimize
Assess alignment with agreed lead criteria, analyze performance and recommend or execute approved adjustments.

These workflows support repetitive, data-intensive work within the strategic, editorial and compliance parameters established with Starfleet. Human oversight keeps execution aligned with campaign objectives.

04

Engagement and continuous optimization

Email interaction, landing-page visits, downloads, repeat content engagement, survey participation, webinar registration, direct replies and activity from multiple contacts help guide the next campaign action.

Relevant follow-up
Adjust timing and frequency, trigger related content and move prospects into appropriate campaign sequences.
Account focus
Prioritize highly engaged accounts, expand outreach across the buying committee and escalate high-value prospects for human follow-up.
Audience quality
Suppress unsuitable or unresponsive contacts and recalculate prospect and account scores.
Performance feedback
Evaluate underperforming segments, creative fatigue, audience saturation and patterns among high-quality responses to refine targeting, content, landing pages and channels.

Prospect journeys respond to actual engagement. Signals guide relevance and prioritization; qualification remains tied to the criteria agreed for your program.

Expanded capabilities

Account intelligence, engagement
and sales follow-through. Connected.

Starfleet Velocity supports the work before and after a content download. Buying-group mapping, intent targeting, automated nurture, CRM delivery and attribution connect audience strategy with the next action your sales team needs to take.

The campaign brief defines which capabilities, delivery workflows and reporting measures your program will use.

01 / BUYING-GROUP MAPPING

Reach the people involved in the decision.

Different stakeholders have different priorities. Buying-group mapping helps your campaign address the people involved in the decision.

Define the priority buying roles for your target accounts. Map relevant stakeholders and identify gaps in coverage. Tailor messaging and content to each role’s needs.

02 / INTENT TARGETING

Prioritize accounts showing relevant interest.

Interest and engagement signals help prioritize accounts and guide the content, timing and next step in the campaign.

Align signal selection with your solution category and audience. Use account and prospect context to refine segmentation. Combine observed interest with agreed fit and qualification criteria.

03 / AUTOMATED NURTURE

Keep the conversation relevant as buyers engage.

Follow-up responds to each buyer’s role, content interests and engagement, using agreed sequencing and suppression rules.

Define stage-specific content and follow-up paths. Coordinate cadence, channel activity and suppression rules. Route meaningful responses into the agreed next step.

04 / CRM DELIVERY

Give sales a usable lead record and a clear next step.

Lead records are delivered in the format and cadence agreed for your sales workflow, with the fields and campaign context your team needs.

Define the field mapping and required delivery information. Include the contact, authority, timing and campaign context. Set the delivery workflow and cadence for your environment.

05 / ATTRIBUTION

Understand how campaign activity contributes to outcomes.

Connect campaign and lead-source data with available sales outcomes to understand the program’s contribution.

Agree on the attribution definitions and reporting measures. Connect campaign and lead-source data with available outcome data. Use performance feedback to refine targeting, content and follow-up.

Intelligent autopilot. Human command.

AI provides the speed and scale.
Starfleet provides the judgment.
