How AI-Driven Growth Built an International SaaS Leader
Overview
An international SaaS company faced a steep challenge: competing against larger, well-funded rivals in SEO, recruitment, and market dominance—all with a lean, executive-only team and no in-house marketing resources.
To win, they needed to:
Outrank bigger competitors in SEO
Automate marketing and funnel activities to drive consistent growth
Attract top engineering talent
Launch an event strategy to expand brand presence
Increase wallet share from existing customers
With no internal team to execute, they needed a fully automated, AI-driven approach—and that’s where Kailos stepped in.
