DateSeptember 2026

A twelve-month program to build a £1.6M B2C pipeline for D·engage across five priority Asia-Pacific markets.

Dengage has no team in this region yet. NO BS becomes that team, taking Dengage straight to the marketing leaders and CX leaders at consumer brands across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia and the Philippines.

The program at a glance

What you get

Target list. Named marketing & CX leaders at consumer brands across your five markets.

The access. Senior, in-person sessions convened and co-led by Dengage and NO BS.

Meetings. Qualified 1-on-1s, tracked by name and stage in your CRM.

Reporting. A live dashboard of all activity, plus weekly progress meetings.

Why it works

The model. Give before you take: senior access peers can't reach on their own.

Validated. Proven with senior B2C marketing leaders across the region, see the proof.

Conversion. 70% of participants to 1-on-1s; 40% of those to CRM opportunities.

Scale. ~10,000 senior marketing & CX buyers at 1,000+ employee B2C brands across the 5 markets.

Why it's low risk

Cost. £5K per month for twelve months, a predictable, defined line item.

Payback. Barely more than one closed deal covers the £60k annual fee; the projection is six.

Phased. Priority markets first, expandable across the wider region once proven.

Transparent. Every name, stage and week visible, nothing in a black box.

Recommended next step: a deeper conversation with the NO BS team to shape the program around Dengage's priority industries, target accounts and markets. Email us at yuri@nobs.asia to set up a meeting.

The B2C engagement market in Asia is huge. Reaching the leaders who buy is the hard part.

Dengage's growth in this region runs on net-new logos: consumer brands that adopt the CXDP to unify their data and run cross-channel engagement. That decision sits with marketing and CX leaders at thousands of B2C companies across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia and the Philippines.

Dengage has no team on the ground here yet, so every one of those relationships has to be built from scratch. Net-new is the hardest pipeline there is.

Why is net-new hard?

Senior marketing & CX leaders are hard to reach

The buy sits with CMOs, heads of CRM and chief customer officers, each already running a martech stack and a roadmap of their own. The case for a new CXDP has to be made in person, peer to peer.

Everyone is chasing them

The same senior marketing and CX population gets bombarded daily by martech, CDP and CX vendors with AI-powered emails, InMails, whitepapers, webinars and conference invites. Another cold sequence does not land.

Net-new is nobody's job here

With no local team, there is no one whose job is to build these senior relationships from zero, week after week. It needs time, energy and senior networks that a first regional hire does not arrive with.

CXDP decisions are made in rooms that cold vendor outreach struggles to enter. That gap is what we fill, as your team on the ground.

Give before you take.

Behind every CXDP deal that closes in this region is a high-level peer-to-peer relationship. You can't build that relationship by making asks, you need to offer something of value first.

1

Spearfish in a small elite pond, not hit-and-hope

Decision making in APAC is top heavy. A dozen of the right people in an intimate setting beats a thousand badge scans.

2

Reach out like a peer

A real message from a real peer, about something they care about. Not InMail, not AI-slop emails, definitely not cold calls.

3

Offer something they want, not something you want to give

A real conversation on real issues with real peers. Not whitepapers, webinars or demos.

4

Share your point of view

Project credibility through your point of view, told through stories, experience and insight. No slide decks.

5

Earn the 1-on-1, never demand it

You've built credibility, authority and goodwill before your ask. The follow-up is more organic and more to-the-point because they already know and respect your point of view.

The ask doesn't feel heavy. People agree to a follow-up meeting because they appreciate your authentic and credible point of view and want to continue the conversation.

This isn't theoretical. We convene the exact senior rooms, then convert them.

Our playbook is simple: convene the senior people you need to reach into a room they actually want to be in, then convert. Here is that motion working across clients, industries and geographies, the same motion we would run for Dengage with senior marketing and CX leaders at B2C brands.

Proof point

Future of creator marketing lunch in Singapore

Who we did it for: Serious Fluence, a creator-marketing company. We co-hosted the lunch with their CEO, Prem, on the future of creator marketing. See the post on LinkedIn ↗

The ICP in the room: senior marketing leaders, Director and above, at consumer brands. That is exactly Dengage's primary buyer, the people who own campaigns, CRM and retention.

Why it maps to Dengage: same buyer, same motion. We put this group in a room they wanted to be in, then converted. It is the identical play we would run to open Dengage's marketing and CX pipeline across your five markets.

In the room: peers across consumer brands, platforms and agencies.

One lunch, 9 senior leaders in the room, and a funnel that actually moved: 70% into 1-on-1 meetings, 40% of those into CRM opportunities. We've proven this model across clients, industries, geographies and ICPs, and it's exactly how we'd open your five priority markets for Dengage.

Your buyers: senior marketing and CX leaders at B2C brands across five priority markets.

Two groups own the Dengage decision, and we size both at Director level and above (Director, VP, CXO), at consumer brands with 1,000+ employees across the markets you care about. Marketing leaders own campaigns, personalization, CRM and retention, the core of what the platform does. CX leaders own the customer journey, service and churn, the other half of a customer-experience data platform. Together they are the room a Dengage deal runs through.

This is the senior market that decides Dengage adoption across your five priority countries. We don't spray and pray. We work it in sequence, senior first, market by market and account by account.

Methodology. LinkedIn Sales Navigator, September 2026. Seniority = Director, VP or CXO. Company size = 1,000+ employees, so this is the enterprise-brand slice, not the whole long tail. Industry filter = 13 consumer-facing verticals Dengage sells into: retail, retail apparel & fashion, banking, financial services, insurance, telecommunications, hospitality, travel arrangements, restaurants, entertainment providers, hospitals & health care, motor vehicle manufacturing and consumer services. Marketing leaders = the Marketing job function; CX leaders = the Customer Success & Support job function. Cells shown as a plain number are exact Sales Navigator counts; cells shown with a "+" (1,000+, 1,500+) are where LinkedIn caps the live display, so read those as floors. Named, de-duplicated target lists per market and industry are built on kickoff.

Priority markets. Priority 1: Singapore and Malaysia. Priority 2: Hong Kong, Australia and the Philippines. We open Priority 1 first, prove the motion, then roll into Priority 2 and, once proven, the wider region.

Where we'd start, and how fast.

The ICP puts a real number on it: roughly 10,000 senior marketing and CX leaders (Dir/VP/CXO) at 1,000+ employee B2C brands across five priority markets. Here is the sequence.

How we'd phase it across 12 months

Phase 1 (0-3 months): Singapore & Malaysia (Priority 1).

Phase 2 (3-6 months): Hong Kong, Australia & the Philippines (Priority 2).

Phase 3 (6-12 months): deepen the five markets and expand into the wider region as results land.

Within each phase, the motion:

  1. Find the right peopleBuild the named target list from the ICP: the exact marketing and CX leaders worth a room.
  2. Reach out like a peerReal messages from real people to the few who matter, not a sequence tool running on its own.
  3. Convene the roomSmall, senior, co-hosted sessions on the customer-engagement and CX topics they care about, the kind of room they actually want to be in.
  4. Earn the 1-on-1Every room converts into named 1-on-1s, and we sit in every meeting that matters.
  5. Live trackingDashboards on activity, conversion and deal progression in your CRM, so you always see the pipeline.
  6. Weekly updates with usA standing weekly check-in where we walk the numbers together and agree the next moves.
Quick results, run by operators, fully accountable. Every name, number and stage is visible in real time, so you always know what's working. A disciplined, data-driven motion, not a black box.

Moving Asia from strategy deck to P&L.
More on NO BS ↗

Yuri Bhanage, CEO

NO BS works with sales leaders and founders to execute sales motions that actually convert in Asia. We don't advise from the sidelines or theorise about markets, we work in them, running outbound, establishing high-level relationships, building pipeline and closing deals.

Led by CEO Yuri Bhanage, who brings 15+ years of hands-on sales experience in Asia, across SE Asia, China, India and the US, from Fortune 500 to seed-stage startups. Selling to enterprise clients like AIA, Accenture, EY, KPMG, Braze, Almosafer, American Express and New Relic. Connect on LinkedIn ↗

Yuri also comes from customer experience: he worked with Uplifting Service, Ron Kaufman's global CX firm, so the language of journeys, service and retention that Dengage sells into is home turf, not a script we learned for the pitch.

As Managing Partner at Uplifting Service (Ron Kaufman’s global customer-experience firm), Shyam has brought major consumer brands onto large-scale CX transformation programs, including Singapore Airlines, Fiji Airways, Garuda Indonesia, Malaysia Airlines and Qantas. He sits at exactly the marketing-and-CX altitude where a CXDP decision gets made. Connect on LinkedIn ↗
