The challenge

Abre needed to be seen as an enterprise platform, not an IT tool.

Abre, an EdTech solution for K-12 districts, struggled to reposition from an IT tool to an enterprise platform. With limited marketing resources, they needed help defining their brand and refining their message, while generating scalable demand that resonated with C-suite and superintendent audiences.

  • Define an enterprise voice and the ideal buyers
  • Reach superintendents and district leadership
  • Give sales a clear way to prioritize leads
How Swivel helped

It started with who buys an enterprise platform.

Before any campaign went live, we defined Abre’s ideal buyers and what moves district leadership.

2,000+buyer-centric assets created
500+qualified leads in 2023-24
1 voicefor every page, ad and email

Three things we learned shaped everything after.

Leadership buys platforms, not tools.

Superintendents and the C-suite need to see the whole district’s picture, not an IT feature set.

Each stage needs its own message.

What gets a superintendent’s attention isn’t what gets them to a meeting.

Sales needs to know who to call first.

With a small team, the process and tech have to point reps at the leads most likely to buy.

Three ways to see it

Four pillars, built on what we learned.
