This was a relatively quiet, behind-the-scenes week: production work on the June–August content roadmap continued and the newsletter intake process was finalized. No approvals were outstanding during the period. Note that calls, emails, and client-side conversations aren't captured in our systems, so this reflects documented activity only.

Scoring criteria: Hot — senior marketing/leadership title + target vertical (destination, hospitality, active-lifestyle/outdoor, or relevant tech) + real engagement (content download or 3+ page views). Warm — target-vertical fit plus either a senior title or meaningful engagement, but not all three. Cold — off-vertical, no seniority signal, or baseline engagement.
This list includes MQLs, SQLs, and not-yet-marked leads. Leads marked Unqualified in Insight Engine are excluded.

Assessment
  • The email domain (grandcanyonwhitewater.com) points to a river-rafting and outdoor-experience operator — a strong fit with OFF Madison Ave's destination, tourism, and active-lifestyle focus.
  • Strongest engagement of any lead this week at 13 page views, well above the 3-page threshold.
  • Reached the Contact form directly — a higher-intent action than a content download.
  • Contra-indicator: no title or seniority data was captured, and the enriched company field returned a placeholder ("Client Challenge") rather than the firm name — worth a quick manual check before any outreach.
Two new leads marked Unqualified in Insight Engine (Sage Workplace Wellness, BLK Labs) are excluded from this list per the agreed criteria. No new MQLs or SQLs were recorded during the period.

Monthly Budget Pacing
Combined daily cap across the two active campaigns: $30/day ($20 + $10). May month-to-date spend: $1,077.05 (45,955 impressions, 424 clicks). At the current daily caps, the program projects to roughly $900/month — below the spend levels referenced in earlier planning. Worth confirming the intended monthly LinkedIn allocation.
CampaignSpendClicksCTRCPCDaily BudgetStatus
Future of Travel Marketing (Website Visits)$140.00411.05%$3.41$20Active
Beautiful Brand Isn't Sticking (Website Visits)$70.00490.99%$1.43$10Active
Both campaigns are upper-funnel Website Visits objectives, so zero conversions is expected — they're judged on clicks and cost-per-click rather than lead volume. "Beautiful Brand Isn't Sticking" was the more efficient of the two this week at $1.43 CPC versus $3.41 for "Future of Travel Marketing." Overall, spend held flat week-over-week while clicks fell ~19% and CPC rose $0.44, so the program delivered fewer, more expensive clicks than the prior week. LinkedIn was the only reporting platform during the period.
No email campaigns were sent during this period. Most recent send: May 2026 Newsletter on Thu May 14 — 1,030 delivered, 27.96% unique open rate (above the 20–25% B2B benchmark), and a 0.1% unique click rate (1 unique click). The next newsletter is scheduled for June 17, with the topic intake questionnaire due June 16.
The May newsletter's open rate remains strong, but click-through was minimal — a pattern worth watching as the thought-leadership newsletter format continues. No deliverability issues were noted during the period.
Client-relevant milestones across the current month and the next two (May–July), reflecting current Asana due dates. The July newsletter (OMA-44) has no confirmed date yet, so it isn't placed; the August articles (OMA-42, OMA-43) fall outside this three-month window. On-hold items are not shown.

Production-stage estimates based on documented workflow milestones. The broader content roadmap (OMA-37 through OMA-45) was scaffolded in Asana on May 19–21; the August articles (OMA-42, OMA-43) and the July/August newsletters (OMA-44, OMA-45) sit beyond this report's window or have no confirmed date. On-hold items (OMA-29, OMA-23) are excluded.
