Description
A lot of marketers chase shiny new personas.
Very few ask: “Who are we overlooking?”
Turns out these “forgotten audiences” convert like crazy.
I spoke with Andy Groller, CEO of Dragon360, about how his team helped Snagit generate $280K in revenue in just 4 months, by going all in on a segment that hadn’t been marketed to in years: technical writers.
This wasn’t a viral stunt or a flashy rebrand.
It was a focused campaign built around one simple idea:
“These folks are overlooked, misunderstood, and doing important work no one talks about.”
So instead of pushing features, they made the audience the story.
Snagit became a tool built just for them, not simply another screen recorder.
Here’s how they pulled it off:
Identified technical writers as a high-potential, low-competition segment
Built messaging that actually respected their work
Ran experiments across Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit, CTV & Spotify
Tested landing pages, creatives, formats, and even UGC dayparting
One of my favorite parts?
They ignored trial signups as a success metric.
They tracked installs instead; something that showed real intent.
That’s something we do at Spear Growth too:
We call them Fair Shot Users - people who took enough action to give your product a “real shot.”
Result?
$280,000+ in revenue
1,100+ purchases
All in just 4 months
Andy’s approach mirrors a lot of what we believe in at Spear Growth: buyer-first creative, hands-on execution, and campaigns that actually map to revenue.
If you’re sitting on a product with misunderstood value, or an audience no one’s talked to in years, this is the kind of campaign that can punch way above its weight.
