The Client

Unbound Summits convenes senior leadership in carbon removal and climate tech. Its summits, including the flagship Carbon Unbound, have sold out, drawing the professionals shaping an industry that is still writing its own rules. Now the company is launching Adapt Unbound, extending its convening model to the US.

Convening a market that is still being invented calls for a different kind of demand program. Unbound Summits engaged us to fill its leadership summits with the right people: cross-platform retargeting across LinkedIn and Google, automated email nurture that warmed cold outreach into engaged prospects, landing page optimization tuned to a premium ticket, and lead generation built around senior climate-tech professionals. The mandate was precision over volume, and it shaped every choice that followed.

The Challenge

Senior, Selective, and Few

Carbon removal is an industry assembling itself in real time, and the professionals who lead it form a small, senior audience. A $1000+ ticket asks each of them to commit budget, calendar, and reputation to a single room, which makes every registration a deliberate decision. Broad-reach tactics burn spend in a market this narrow; the work is identifying the right people and earning their attention repeatedly until conviction forms. Unbound Summits had proven the model with sold-out events, and it was raising the ambition: launching Adapt Unbound in the US meant building demand for a new summit from a standing start.

The Approach

From Cold Name to Committed Seat

We built the program as a single journey from first touch to purchased seat. Lead generation identified senior climate-tech professionals and brought them into the system. Automated email nurture did the patient work, warming cold outreach into engaged prospects with sequences built for a deliberate decision. Cross-platform retargeting across LinkedIn and Google surrounded that decision, keeping each summit present wherever a warm prospect spent the working day. Landing pages carried the final step, tested and refined until each page argued the case a premium seat deserves. Every stage fed the next, so spend concentrated on the people most likely to take a seat.

Cross-platform retargeting across LinkedIn and Google kept each summit in view throughout the deliberation.

Landing page optimization refined the final step until each page matched the weight of a premium ticket.

The Results

Every Seat Spoken For

The system converted consideration into commitment. Warmed by nurture and held close by retargeting, prospects arrived at landing pages built to close, and spend on ticket upgrades returned 5.2x ROAS. The same discipline widened the room itself, with summit attendance at +38% versus previous events, and the summits sold out. For a convener whose product is the quality of the room, selling out carries particular weight. It means the market arrived in force, senior and engaged, willing to pay a premium for a seat. It also hands Adapt Unbound a proven demand playbook for its US debut.
