Case study · Energy

From $20M to $100M—with $200M in sight.

Fortino led the design and build of a complete growth system for an energy company, scaling revenue fivefold and setting the trajectory toward $200M.

The trajectory

A growth engine, not a campaign.

The mandate was to move an established energy business from $20M in revenue toward a category-leading position. We didn’t add tactics—we built the system that makes growth repeatable: a lead-generation call center, a focused go-to-market, a PR and community presence, and a media strategy engineered to compound.

$200M

What we built

Four disciplines, one system.

01

Lead Gen Call Center

A purpose-built demand engine — trained callers, scripted qualification and a measurable pipeline routed to sales in real time.

02

Go-to-Market

Market segmentation, channel sequencing and positioning aligned around the highest-value customer cohorts.

03

PR & Community

A public relations and community program that built trust, visibility and a defensible brand presence in the category.

04

Media Strategy

A paid and earned media plan calibrated to reach decision-makers and compound organic demand.

Energy infrastructure at blue hour

The outcome

A repeatable path to scale.

With demand generation, market focus, brand and media working as one connected system, the business moved from $20M to $100M in revenue—and is now projected to reach $200M. Growth stopped depending on single channels and started compounding across the system.
