Despite high-quality technical content, they were experiencing: **>> Low organic reach without systematic promotion** SingleStore had invested in creating 50+ high-value technical webinars, but each event generated minimal organic signups. Without a trusted promotional voice in developer communities, webinar attendance remained inconsistent and unpredictable. **>> Unsustainable paid acquisition costs** The average cost per lead for B2B SaaS through paid channels in 2025 was $188, and for software development, that **average CPL jumps to $595**. What SingleStore was selling was a real-time distributed cloud database for engineers and data infrastructure teams, which is much closer to software development than it is generic B2B SaaS. For a product-led growth motion requiring volume, this CAC structure was prohibitive and wouldn't scale. **>> Limited visibility in target technical communities** Despite being a Series F company with a powerful real-time analytics platform, SingleStore wasn't breaking through the noise in developer communities. Backend engineers and data architects exploring database solutions weren't discovering SingleStore organically. **The Core Problem:** No systematic, repeatable demand gen motion meant that growth was unsustainable. High-quality technical content existed but wasn't converting to qualified leads at the volume needed for PLG success. ### REV YOUR ENGINES BECAUSE IT’S TIME FOR ## THE TRANSFORMATION BASELINE Minimal organic MQL generation from webinars INTERVENTION Omnichannel influencer-led webinar distribution + follow-up sequences.
