The challenge

How to build a reliable pipeline for a new market?

Monta had found great success across Europe and was looking for a more efficient way to scale into untapped markets.

As Growth Marketer, Julian Berbec wanted to avoid the loss of momentum when a new colleague joins a team that isn't ready to support them. With their sights on France, they needed to build a high-quality pipeline before the new country manager joined.

And that's when they brought Ocean.io in.
