Lead generation for marketing agencies

New business that
doesn't wait for referrals.

Outbound didn’t fail because outreach doesn’t work. It failed because it was cold. Ghost gives your founders and account leads warm signals to act on: who’s engaging with your work, which brands are hiring marketers or have just raised, and who to message today.

The agency problem

Referrals are your best channel.
They're also your only one.

Two thirds of agencies say past and current clients are their top source of new business. Most have tried outbound, and only one in ten call it very effective. So pipeline rises and falls with how last year’s clients feel.

Ghost adds a channel you control, without the spray-and-pray. Your team’s content builds attention, intent signals show which brands are leaning in, and outreach opens with something real. Every reply lands on one board, so new business stops living in the founder’s head.

FAQ

Common
questions

We tried outbound and it didn’t work. Why is this different?

Most agency outbound fails because it’s a generic pitch to a bought list. Ghost starts from intent: a brand engaged with your post, is hiring for a role you could support, or just raised money to grow. Every message opens with that context.

Can the whole team use it?

Yes. Each person connects their own LinkedIn, posts in their own voice and runs their own outreach, while intent signals and deals sit in one shared pipeline.

Will it help us niche down?

Build separate ICPs and campaigns for each vertical or service, then see which produce replies and deals. It’s a fast way to test a positioning before you rebuild the website around it.

Can we run Ghost for our clients?

Yes. Agencies that want to sell LinkedIn outbound as a service can join the Ghost Certified Partner programme.

Do we need HubSpot?

No. Ghost includes a built-in CRM with deals, reminders and revenue by source. Native HubSpot, Pipedrive and GoHighLevel sync is in development.

How much does Ghost cost?

Plans start at $99 a month (£79 or €89), with a 7-day free trial so you can see results before you pay. Ghost Managed, where our team runs it for you, starts at £1,000 a month.
