Thread 01 — Objective

What we're trying to achieve

Optio is the best-kept secret in UK batch manufacturing — and that's both the problem and the opportunity. The manufacturers who know about it don't talk about it. The campaign leans into that directly.

The goal is simple: get operations and technical decision-makers at UK paints and specialty chemicals manufacturers to book a 30-minute discovery call. No intermediate form, no qualification step. LinkedIn ad → Calendly → booked meeting.

Seven ads run simultaneously, each attacking the problem from a different angle — cost, visibility, competitive advantage, traceability, and ERP accuracy. LinkedIn's algorithm distributes budget toward the best performer.

Targeting

How we've set it up

Location
United Kingdom
Industries
Chemical Raw Materials Manufacturing · Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing · Paint, Coating & Adhesive Manufacturing
Job Targeting
Broad — no job function or seniority filter applied
Placement
LinkedIn only — Audience Network excluded
Audience Expansion
Enabled — algorithm can expand over time
Audience Size
65,000+
Small for paid — algorithm will need 2–3 weeks to optimise

Why we kept it broad

At 65,000 the audience is already tightly qualified by industry. Adding job function and seniority filters would shrink it further and restrict LinkedIn's ability to optimise. After 3–4 weeks we'll have real click data to inform a second, more targeted campaign.

The Ads

Seven creatives. One campaign.

Each ad targets the same decision-maker from a different angle. LinkedIn will find the best performer and weight budget toward it automatically.

Yield you can't account for. Audits that take days instead of hours. An ERP that doesn't know what the floor is doing.

Your batch process is costing you more than you think.

The UK's most competitive paints and specialty chemicals manufacturers have already fixed this. Most of their rivals haven't noticed yet — which means right now, you still can. That window won't stay open.

See how to pull ahead — before your rivals work out how.

Where did last week's batch lose yield? What was in tank 4 before this run started? Why does your ERP show a different figure than the floor?

Three questions your batch system should answer in seconds.

If your team can't answer these instantly, your batch control has a blind spot. We'll show you exactly where — in a 30-minute discovery call with the team.

How many hours did your team spend last month reconciling what the floor recorded with what your ERP shows? And how confident are you the numbers they landed on were right?

That gap is where yield disappears, audit risk accumulates, and decisions get made on bad data.

Your ERP thinks it knows what happened on the floor. It doesn't.

How long does it take your team to make a formulation change? And how often does that mean stopping production, rewriting process sequences, or waiting for IT to push an update?

Change the recipe. Don't stop the line.

Optio lets you manage complex paint and chemical recipes dynamically — adjusting pigment blends, resins, and additives without full rewrites or disruptive shutdowns.
