The Problem
V8 Media had been operating for over five years with 70+ local clients on retainer — but growth had plateaued. Their entire client acquisition model relied on organic interactions with no proven system for generating new business at scale. When they decided to expand into international markets, they had no infrastructure to make it happen.
What We Did
Hyperke built a high-volume cold email system targeting e-commerce and D2C brands in the US and UK — running multiple simultaneous campaign angles covering email marketing, paid ads, and brand scaling. Week-on-week optimisations based on booking data kept results improving throughout the engagement.
The Results
In a single 20-day stretch, V8 booked 20 appointments. Over the full engagement, they signed 10+ international clients whose retainers averaged $1,000–$2,000/month — roughly double their local equivalents — adding $180k+ in annualised revenue. The volume of meetings grew large enough that V8 had to restructure internal operations.
We've managed to create a really unique system and signed clients we would never have imagined onboarding even six months ago. International clients are paying double our local retainers.
