"It's made a massive difference for us"

The Capium team shared their results at a client event. In their own words - the numbers, the repositioning, and what's next.

The Challenge

Stuck at the Bottom of the Market

Capium - one of the UK's first SaaS companies in accounting - had built a solid product. But their go-to-market had positioned them as an entry-level provider. They were competing on price rather than value, attracting smaller practices instead of the mid-tier and large firms their product could genuinely serve.

The team was sceptical about whether video outreach would resonate with their audience of accountants. Getting the right message to the right firms - and being taken seriously - felt like an uphill battle.

Targeting the Wrong Tier

Positioned as entry-level, they were missing the mid-tier and larger practices where their product had a clear advantage.

Long, Unpredictable Sales Cycles

Sales cycles were running 8–9 weeks, sometimes stretching to three months. The pipeline was slow and hard to forecast.

No Thought Leadership Presence

Despite being among the first accounting SaaS companies in the UK, Capium weren't seen as industry leaders. The market didn't know their story.

Uncertainty About the Channel

The team wasn't convinced video outreach would work for accountants. Getting buy-in required proving the model first.

The Solution

Video That Repositioned the Brand

We built a combined video and email outreach channel targeting higher-end accountancy firms. But the results went far beyond new leads - the channel changed how the market perceived Capium entirely.

Video + Email as a Core Revenue Channel
Within a year, the combined video and email channel accounted for nearly a third of Capium's total pipeline. It became one of their primary ROI measurements - not a side experiment.
Targeted Upmarket - and It Landed
By specifically targeting higher-end accountancy firms through personalised video, Capium started attracting mid-tier and large practices. Clients who would previously have looked straight past them.
Thought Leadership as a Byproduct
The quality and consistency of the outreach did something unexpected: it positioned Capium as a thought leader. 'They can't take that away from us,' as one of the team put it. Brand equity that compounds.
AI Campaigns as the Next Phase
Having proven the channel, Capium are now moving into AI-driven campaigns - the natural next step for a team that's built confidence in what personalised outreach can do at scale.

“It's opened up many, many different doors. Our attractive offer is now more towards mid-tier and larger practices when we were originally just an entry-level accountancy software provider. So it's made a massive difference for us.”

“We've gained over £60k in actual revenue. Recurring revenue is £600k plus. Our average order has increased by £250 - that was one of my KPIs for the business. And because of the certain types of videos, we're now seen as thought leaders within the industry.”
