How to find digital marketing leads

01

Describe the market you want to target

Add your target industry or market, such as retail brands or local service businesses. Sculptor scans Clay's company database for companies that need digital marketing services.

02

Sculptor builds and enriches your lead list

Sculptor assembles a filtered company list from Clay's B2B company data, narrowed by industry, headcount, and online presence signals. It then waterfalls through 150+ providers to find a verified email for the contact title you specified. Matched rows get the email appended.

03

Review your table and launch outreach

The finished table has company name and a verified contact email for matched rows. Push to Smartlead, Instantly, or your sequencer to trigger a campaign the moment a row lands.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find digital marketing leads?

Sculptor searches multiple B2B data providers to find companies in your target industry or region that match your criteria. It checks intent signals like paid ad activity, hiring patterns, and tech stack data from providers like BuiltWith to surface companies likely in the market for digital marketing services. It then runs waterfall enrichment across multiple contact-data providers to locate each company's Head of Marketing and return a verified email.

How accurate are the email results for marketing contacts?

Clay's waterfall enrichment lifts email coverage from roughly 20% with a single provider to around 80% by querying multiple contact-data sources in sequence. You only pay for successful matches, so credits are not wasted on misses. Each returned email passes through provider-level verification, and you can add a dedicated verification step (like ZeroBounce or NeverBounce) in your Clay table for an extra layer of confidence before sending outreach.

Can I find digital marketing leads in bulk?

Yes. Paste a list of target industries or regions, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table to generate leads at scale. Sculptor processes each row automatically, returning company name and Head of Marketing email for every match. From there, push enriched rows directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, or a sequencer like Smartlead for immediate outbound outreach.

Is it legal to cold email companies about marketing services?

In the US, CAN-SPAM allows B2B cold email without prior consent as long as you include a valid physical address, an honest subject line, and a working opt-out link honored within 10 business days. Penalties can reach $53,088 per non-compliant email. In the EU, GDPR requires a legal basis such as legitimate interest, which means documenting that your offer is relevant to the recipient's professional role and providing easy opt-out.

Privacy laws vary by state and country, and new regulations continue to take effect. Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach.
