ProspectEngage and Direct Outreach in Greenville, SC

The Challenge

The Upstate SC Alliance sought to enhance its ability to engage companies actively evaluating expansion or relocation opportunities within the region’s advanced manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and related industry strengths. While the organization had strong marketing visibility and regional positioning, leadership wanted a more proactive, data-driven system to identify companies demonstrating real-time site selection behavior and convert them into qualified projects and capital investment.

To remain competitive in a fast-moving economic development landscape, the Alliance needed deeper insight into website visitor activity, stronger company identification tools, and dedicated outreach capacity to move potential prospects from awareness to active pipeline discussions.

The Solution

Since 2022, Camoin Associates has partnered with the Upstate SC Alliance to implement ProspectEngage alongside coordinated outreach efforts. Through continuous website monitoring, behavioral analytics, and company enrichment, ProspectEngage identifies companies visiting the Alliance website and evaluates whether their activity signals potential site selection research.

Our team enhances this intelligence with detailed company research and multi-channel outreach—including phone, email, and LinkedIn engagement—to initiate conversations with decision-makers. Each lead is carefully vetted and qualified before being transitioned to the Alliance for deeper engagement. This structured approach ensures that the organization’s leadership team focuses time and resources on companies with credible expansion potential rather than unverified inquiries.

The Impact

Since launching the partnership in 2022, the initiative has identified more than 40 potential prospects to the Upstate SC Alliance, with over 25 qualified prospect status. These efforts have directly contributed to capital investment outcomes, including more than $63 million in investment tied to projects such as Chemical Co.

The momentum continues into 2026, with eight additional potential leads identified through ProspectEngage, and more pending qualification. By integrating real-time digital intelligence with disciplined outreach, the Upstate SC Alliance has strengthened its project pipeline, increased conversion efficiency, and positioned the region to capture high-value investment opportunities in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
