Asymmetric Cold Outreach — 37,000 Validated Contacts

Overview

As part of Asymmetric's brand repositioning and new marketing strategy, a cold outreach campaign has been scoped targeting a database of 37,000 validated contacts. This is one of five channels in the broader [1] and is intended to run in parallel with ABM, paid ads, social, and content marketing.

The campaign is segmented by vertical, with initial focus on two industries: Environmental Services and Food & Beverage. These verticals were selected from a shortlist of ~10 candidate segments as the best initial fit for Asymmetric's ICP targeting.

Contact Database

Attribute Detail
Total validated contacts 37,000
Initial verticals Environmental Services, Food & Beverage
Contact source Existing database; additional pulls from ZoomInfo planned
CRM HubSpot (cleaned, segmented, and ready)

Mark Hope noted that HubSpot has been reorganized so that contacts are "clean and tidy and segmented and ready to go" ahead of campaign launch.

Vertical Definitions

Environmental Services

The Environmental Services vertical is scoped more narrowly than a generic "energy & environment" bucket. Target sub-sectors include:

"It's not just remediation either, because remediation implies that there was some kind of spill or some kind of harm, and hazardous waste or hazardous materials could just be a normal day-to-day process." — Mark Hope

Additional contacts for this vertical will be pulled from ZoomInfo once the initial campaign is underway and the segment is fully understood.

Food & Beverage

Defined in a separate campaign brief (available in the shared Google Drive strategy folder). Outreach copy is being drafted by Evoke in parallel with the Environmental Services sequence.

Campaign Brief Structure

Mark produced dedicated campaign briefs for each vertical. Each brief includes:

These briefs are stored in the shared Google Drive strategy folder and have been copied into ClickUp by Karly for task tracking.

Sequencing Approach

Relationship to ABM

Cold outreach at scale (37,000 contacts) is distinct from the [2], which targets 100 highly personalized accounts with custom content and multi-channel coordinated outreach. The two run concurrently but serve different funnel roles:

Dimension Cold Outreach ABM
Scale 37,000 contacts 100 accounts
Personalization Vertical-level Account-level
Channel Email sequences Multi-channel
Purpose Top-of-funnel volume High-value account penetration

ICP Alignment

Cold outreach targets ICP-1: Mid-Market B2B, defined as companies with $5M–$75M in revenue that are outgunned in their category and need strategy-first marketing to compete against better-capitalized rivals. This ICP receives 80% of Asymmetric's initial marketing focus.
