How DigiPly Media builds stronger lead lists with Ocean

DigiPly Media replaced hours of manual list-building with Ocean's Lookalike Search — and closed their biggest client to date just 10 days after purchase.

DigiPly Media is a B2B lead generation agency that specialises in bespoke email marketing strategies. They work primarily with SaaS start-ups that have enterprise solutions and with marketing agencies looking to sharpen their outbound targeting.

The challenge

How to build targeted lead lists efficiently

DigiPly Media identified e-commerce businesses in the fashion industry as an ideal market for one of their clients. They knew the big names, but had no visibility of smaller companies that were equally worth targeting — and no reliable way to find them.

They had used numerous lead sources before, but LinkedIn outreach revealed a consistent problem: the quality of the target lists simply wasn't high enough.

"Lead list building is extremely time-consuming and tedious. We used to spend 5–8 hours a week pulling thousands of leads, cleaning data, and segmenting campaign data — just for our own outreach, never mind for our clients. We needed to find reliable data efficiently."

— Preetum Mistry Co-Founder, DigiPly Media

They needed a smarter way to build laser-targeted lists — without spending half the working week cleaning bad data.

Ocean.io lookalike company search

The solution

Lookalike search + filters

DigiPly Media kept their existing segmentation and used Ocean as the foundation for their list-building. Using domain search with 3–4 reference companies, they found lookalike e-commerce and fashion businesses — then refined by company size and web technologies. A list that used to take 5–8 hours was ready in minutes.

Lookalike domain search — Find companies similar to a handful of known targets — no guesswork required
Precise filters — Narrow by company size and tech stack to find exactly the right accounts
30% more data in niche markets — More coverage in specialised verticals compared to other data providers

"Ocean.io has helped us close our biggest customer to date, just 10 days after purchase."

The result

Better targeting — shorter sales cycles

Just 10 days after purchasing Ocean, DigiPly Media closed their largest client to date. During the discovery call, Preetum built a targeted account list live — demonstrating Ocean's value on the spot.

10+ hours saved per week — Creating, cleaning, and segmenting lead lists now takes a fraction of the time
Higher quality than Crunchbase and LinkedIn — Accounts that other tools miss — especially in niche and emerging verticals
Clean data from day one — No time spent filtering irrelevant results — the list is ready to use immediately

"We feel more equipped for the growing demand in the industry, as we have data we can trust and manipulate easily to support our clients and ourselves."
