How a Leading LATAM Agency Opened the US Market Through Contact Forms.

After five months of cold calling without landing a single meeting, a leading LATAM agency changed its outreach strategy and achieved three owner-level meetings in just two weeks. Discover how a smarter approach to contact forms helped the agency break into the US market and sign its first American clients.

Who:

Our client is one of Latin America's leading design and marketing agencies, trusted by enterprise-level brands and global agency networks across the region. Founded more than a decade ago, they've grown to several hundred creative, marketing, and technology professionals working from multiple offices across LATAM. Their model is built on delivering enterprise-grade work at regional scale: branding, digital production, campaigns, and complete project execution for some of the most demanding clients in the market.

Challenge:

They had won at home. The next move was obvious and enormous: enter the US market, where budgets are bigger, projects run deeper, and one good client can transform an agency's year. So they did what most agencies do, they put their sales team on the phones. For five months, the team cold called into the US. The result was nothing. No meetings, no pipeline, no foothold.

The math of cold calling into a foreign market is unforgiving: unknown international numbers go unanswered, gatekeepers screen out vendors, and the people worth reaching, agency owners and senior decision makers, are exactly the ones who never pick up. The US push was stalling before it had really started.

Our Approach:

We recommended a different door: the Submtr system, aimed not at end brands but at the bigger US agencies that serve them. The insight was simple. Larger American marketing agencies constantly need trusted partners who can take complete projects off their plate, and the owners of those agencies actually read what comes through their own contact form.

We built a targeted list of established US marketing agencies, wrote a personalized partnership proposal for each one positioning our client as a full-service partner able to execute complete marketing projects end to end, and had our human submitters, real people rather than bots, deliver every proposal through each agency's own contact form. No burned email domains, no spam folders, no unanswered calls. Replies were qualified by our team, and serious prospects were booked directly into partnership video calls with the client.

Outcome:

Within the first two weeks, the system produced the very first three fully qualified partnership meetings, each one with the owner of a larger US marketing agency actively interested in outsourcing complete marketing projects. Five months of cold calling had produced zero conversations. Two weeks of Submtr produced three, at the owner level, with buyers already primed for exactly what our client sells.

Those meetings converted. The client signed their first US logos, opened a market that had been closed to them, and turned the new partnerships into new revenue. The US went from a locked door to a working channel, and it started with a contact form.
