Led by CMO William Gasner, the team needed a reliable way to reach high-intent B2B and B2C leads and drive awareness for its innovative offering. ### **Challenge:** Despite a strong overall marketing mix, Stack Influence faced difficulties scaling newsletter advertising. The main issues were identifying high-performing newsletters for specific ICPs, inconsistent open rates, trust in quality, and the manual nature of sponsorship placements. ### **Solution:** Stack Influence adopted beehiiv’s Ad Network to scale newsletter ads with precision and ease. The platform offered a centralized marketplace, allowed precise targeting by ICP, ensured high content quality, and replaced outdated “Pay Per Send” models with a “Pay Per Click” approach—making ad performance transparent and ROI-driven. ### **Results:** - 13x increase in newsletter campaigns (from 4/month to 50+) - 1006% return on ad spend (ROAS) - 21% increase in traffic and leads - 24% drop in customer acquisition cost (CAC) As CMO William Gasner put it: “beehiiv has taken the guesswork out of newsletter advertising and turned it into a science.” ## Related Case Studies ![How ChatAI Turned the beehiiv MCP Into Its Weekly Analytics Partner](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/V_R88KIQi1TUsccj_Untitleddesign-44-.png?auto=format,compress) ### How ChatAI Turned the beehiiv MCP Into Its Weekly Analytics Partner From Dashboard Sprawl to a Single Source of Truth [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/chat-ai) ![How The Small Bow Left Substack for beehiiv and Grew Open Rates by 35%](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/ahVlu7K9tuLqEJDp_Untitleddesign-39-.png?auto=format,compress) ### How The Small Bow Left Substack for beehiiv and Grew Open Rates by 35% A recovery newsletter breaks free from Substack, builds its own branded platform on beehiiv, and immediately sees a 35% jump in open rates [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/the-small-bow) ![How AdQuick Scaled Industry Sponsorships with beehiiv's Ad Network](https://images.prismic.io/beehiiv/Z_VpXHdAxsiBwdKG_adquick.png?auto=format,compress) ### How AdQuick Scaled Industry Sponsorships with beehiiv's Ad Network Solving scale and visibility challenges in B2B marketing [ Read Case Study → ](/case-studies/adquick) ## BUILT TO PERFORM FOR PUBLISHERS AND ADVERTISERS [ Advertise on the beehiiv Ad Network ](https://www.beehiiv.com/i-want-to/advertise)
