In today’s competitive B2B landscape, standing out requires a memorable story. That’s exactly what Proxess unlocked when they partnered with Spokenote to bring video-driven personalization to their direct outreach efforts. What followed was a razor sharp increase in engagement, better-qualified leads, and a smarter path to face-to-face meetings with decision-makers.
In a remarkable partnership that showcases the power of innovative marketing solutions, Proxess, a fast-rising star in the commercial security access space, has leveraged Spokenote’s cutting-edge video messaging technology to overcome significant brand recognition challenges and build a lead-generating machine. This success shows how moving from traditional marketing approaches to personalized, interactive content can yield immediate and dramatic results, including a 20% increase in customer engagement and substantially improved conversion rates.

Proxess, founded in 2015, is at the forefront of revolutionizing what Paul Hevesy, part owner and VP of Business Development, refers to as “the brass key market.” Utilizing a sophisticated, highly secure software app paired with the NFC technology built into the mobile devices people already carry with them, Proxess is delivering superior electronic access control solutions to institutions such as schools, universities, hospitals, and municipalities. Their approach eliminates the need for outdated key systems, making access management smarter, faster, and far more scalable.
Despite their groundbreaking technology, Proxess faced significant hurdles in an industry dominated by large, established players:
Recognizing the need for a unique approach, Paul developed a direct account acquisition strategy focused on targeting pre-qualified leads with an attention-grabbing hook and then quickly leveraging that interest into securing face-to-face meetings where he could demonstrate the Proxess technology. The discovery of Spokenote through a combination of a personal recommendation from a neighbor and a fortuitous encounter at a local marketing seminar was the moment things “clicked.” The potential of Spokenote’s “put-video-anywhere” capability immediately resonated with Paul.
By adding video notes to their mailers, Proxess transformed standard mailers into interactive experiences.
Static brochures and pamphlets became unique, informative resources with embedded video content.
Spokenote-enabled business cards allowed Paul to create custom video greetings, making networking events more impactful.
Granular analytics, provided valuable data on viewer engagement, allowing for targeted follow-ups on qualified leads.
The implementation of Spokenote’s technology led to significant improvements in marketing efforts for Proxess, including a 20% increase in overall customer engagement and 15-20% open rates on direct outreach campaigns, massively exceeding industry standards on direct mail.
“Spokenote is bringing innovation to the direct mail industry in some very powerful ways. If you’re looking to drive measurable engagement affordably… you need to check them out.”
