Lyon's tech leaders waste €2,600/month on content that doesn't convert
We build social strategies that turn your audience into qualified pipeline—not vanity metrics.
📍 Lyon Market Insight: Lyon's 58,000 SMBs in biotech, chemicals, and manufacturing face a unique challenge: your buyers live on LinkedIn, but most content strategies there stall at awareness. The problem isn't reach—it's relevance. While competitors throw budget at Google Ads (your unsustainable CPC), smart tech businesses in Presqu'île and Part-Dieu are shifting to community-first social strategies that cost less and convert better. The data is clear: Lyon-based Technology & SaaS companies investing in content-driven social marketing see 40–60% lower cost-per-qualified-lead than those relying on paid search alone.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Lyon's technology & saas sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your LinkedIn page has followers, but no meaningful conversations or inbound leads”
Content strategy is reactive and generic—you're posting about your company, not solving problems your buyers face. No narrative arc, no nurture sequence.
You're leaving €8,000–€15,000 in qualified pipeline on the table monthly. Your social channels are a broadcast channel, not a sales tool.
“You're spending €2,600/month on digital marketing but can't attribute revenue to social. Google Ads and SEO dominate your budget.”
Social isn't positioned as a lead-gen channel—it's treated as brand awareness. No lead magnets, no conversion tracking, no content calendar tied to buyer journey.
CPCs on Google Ads are unsustainable (€18–€45 per click in Lyon's competitive tech vertical). You lack a low-cost lead funnel to complement paid search.
“You post regularly but see no momentum—engagement is flat, follower growth stalls, and your team is burned out managing it all.”
Content is created in silos without strategy. No editorial calendar, no audience segmentation, no clear content pillars aligned to your ICP.
Your team spends 8–12 hours/week on social media with no ROI. This opportunity cost is 200+ hours annually that could drive revenue instead.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audience & Competitor Audit
Week 1–2We map your ideal customer profile (ICP) within Lyon's biotech, chemicals, and manufacturing sectors. We analyze where your buyers spend time, what content resonates, and how your competitors are positioning themselves. This isn't generic—we're specific to your vertical and geography.
20-page confidential audit with audience segmentation, competitor positioning matrix, and 90-day content opportunity roadmap
Content Strategy & Messaging Framework
Week 3–4We build a 12-month editorial strategy tied to your sales cycle. Your content will address the 3–4 biggest problems your buyers face at each stage (awareness, consideration, decision). We define your narrative—the story only you can tell—and position it on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter/X.
Content pillars document, messaging matrix, sample post calendar (3 months), and distribution plan across channels
Lead Magnet & Nurture System
Week 5–6We create 2–3 high-value assets (guides, templates, webinars) that convert social followers into qualified leads. We set up your email nurture sequence so every social conversation leads somewhere. This is where your social investment becomes measurable revenue.
Production-ready lead magnets, email nurture sequence (6–8 emails), landing page copy, and conversion tracking setup
Content Production & Publishing
Week 7–10We produce your first 8–12 weeks of content: LinkedIn posts, LinkedIn articles, YouTube scripts, and supporting social assets. Your founder or thought leader is positioned as an authority—this is crucial for Lyon's tech and SaaS trust-building culture. Every piece is optimized for both engagement and conversion.
120+ pieces of original content (posts, videos, articles), published on schedule, with engagement monitoring dashboard
Measurement & Optimization Cycle
OngoingWe don't set and forget. Every two weeks, we analyze what's working—which content themes drive engagement, which lead magnets convert best, which audience segments respond to which messages. We iterate, double down on winners, and kill what doesn't work. This is where strategy becomes competitive advantage.
Bi-weekly performance report (leads, engagement, CPL), monthly strategy call, and iterative content adjustments
After 6 months, you'll have a social media machine that generates 12–20 qualified leads monthly at €45–€95 CPL—a fraction of your Google Ads spend. Your founder or team will be recognized as industry voices in Lyon's tech ecosystem. Social won't just drive awareness; it will be a consistent, predictable top-of-funnel channel you can scale.
Lyon Technology & SaaS Success Stories
A Lyon-based B2B SaaS platform serving manufacturing and logistics companies across France and Germany
Strong product, strong team—but invisible in their market. LinkedIn presence was a ghost town (80 followers, no engagement), and their €2,400/month digital budget went entirely to Google Ads. Leads were expensive (€210 CPL) and sporadic. The team knew social should work but had no strategy or bandwidth.
- →Repositioned the CEO and CTO as industry voices sharing logistics optimization insights and product development learnings on LinkedIn
- →Built a 12-week content calendar around manufacturing pain points (supply chain risk, workforce planning, cost per unit) tied to their product capabilities
- →Created a free 'Logistics ROI Calculator' lead magnet and set up a 6-email nurture sequence for manufacturing ops managers
“We knew our product was best-in-class, but nobody knew about us. Omakaase didn't just give us a social strategy—they turned our leadership into actual market differentiators. Within 4 months, our sales team could tell which leads came from social and they were closing 40% faster. Game changer.”
A specialized biotech recruitment firm based in Part-Dieu, Lyon, connecting research talent across Europe's life sciences sector
Competing against global recruitment platforms and larger agencies. Their LinkedIn presence was functional but forgettable. Content strategy was non-existent—they relied on paid job ads and hoped for pipeline. Monthly digital spend: €2,800. Result: expensive, unpredictable leads with high no-show rates.
- →Developed 'Biotech Talent Trends' as their signature content pillar—monthly reports, LinkedIn articles, and founder interviews with hiring directors at top labs
- →Created 3 lead magnets: 'Biotech Salary Guide for France/Germany', 'Lab Manager Hiring Checklist', and a webinar series on 'Building High-Performance Research Teams'
- →Built a weekly LinkedIn content cadence (3 organic posts + 1 long-form article) featuring client success stories and industry insights anonymized to protect relationships
“Recruitment is relationships. By positioning ourselves as the voice of biotech talent in Europe—not just a job posting board—we attract the right clients and candidates naturally. Omakaase showed us that social media in our industry isn't about volume; it's about trust and visibility within a tight community. That shift changed everything.”
