“We initially engaged Elliot and 5 Blocs for a simple website revamp, but it turned out to be so much more than that. Elliot built our entire marketing engine from scratch, driving a pipeline with major global big-box retailers and distributors that, by our own conservative estimates, represents well over 100x return relative to what we invested. His initiative, sharp targeting, and consistent follow-through made a material difference to our business. I’d recommend Elliot and 5 Blocs to any company looking for someone who delivers real, measurable results.”

[H2] Frequently asked questions

[H5]

What types of manufacturers do you work with?
We work with B2B manufacturers looking to expand beyond their local market. Whether you make consumer goods, industrial products, or specialty materials, if you need to get in front of the right international buyers, distributors, or retailers, we can help.

[H5]

How long before we see results?
Most clients see their first qualified meetings within 4 to 6 weeks of campaign launch. We go live in 2 weeks and start generating pipeline from day one. No months of setup before anything happens.

[H5]

What's included in the retainer?
Everything needed to build and grow your pipeline. Prospect research, outreach execution, campaign management, lead tracking, and weekly performance reports. You get a full growth function without hiring a team.

[H5]

How is 5 Blocs different from a traditional agency?
Most agencies focus on one thing. Ads, content, or lead gen. We combine outbound, campaign execution, and tracking under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks. One team, one point of contact, full ownership of your results.

[H5]

Do you guarantee results?
We don’t guarantee specific numbers because every market and product is different. What we do guarantee is full transparency. You’ll see exactly what’s working, what’s not, and what we’re doing about it every single week.

[H2] Frequently asked questions

[H5]

Is there any obligation to proceed after receiving the proposal?
None at all. The proposal is purely for you to evaluate if we’re the right fit. No pressure, no follow up pestering.

[H5]

Are there any fees for the proposal?
Zero. We put together a full proposal at no cost because we believe you should know exactly what you’re getting before committing anything.

[H5]

Can I cancel my contract at any time?
We work on a 3-month engagement. After that, you’re free to continue or stop with 30 days notice. No long-term lock-ins.

[H5]

How do I qualify for results-based pricing?
Results-based pricing is available for clients where we have enough data and confidence in the market opportunity. We’ll discuss this during the proposal stage once we understand your product and target market.

[H5]

How does results-based pricing work?
Instead of a flat monthly retainer, you pay based on agreed outcomes — qualified meetings booked or pipeline generated. We take on more risk, you pay for performance.

[H5]

Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
No. Everything is outlined in the proposal upfront. Ad spend is separate and goes directly to the platforms — we don’t mark it up.

The story of 5 Blocs

Most B2B manufacturers build world-class products. But getting those products in front of the right global buyers? That’s where growth stalls.We started 5 Blocs because we saw this gap firsthand. Great manufacturers losing deals not because their product wasn’t good enough, but because they didn’t have the right pipeline, the right outreach, or the right people pushing their story into the right rooms.That changes with us.Since 2024, we’ve helped manufacturers generate millions in pipeline value, secure meetings with Fortune 500 retailers, and build outbound engines that keep working month after month. We combine strategy, execution, and tracking under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks and every dollar spent is accounted for.What sets us apart isn’t just the work we do. It’s how we think. We approach every client like a growth partner, not a vendor. We ask the hard questions, challenge assumptions, and stay accountable to outcomes that actually move your business forward. When you win, we win.We’re not here to run campaigns for the sake of running campaigns. We’re here because we genuinely believe that the right manufacturer, in front of the right buyer, at the right time, changes businesses. Sometimes it changes industries.That’s what 5 Blocs is built for.

Zero to global pipeline

[H3] When Everts became independently owned in 2024, they had a century of manufacturing excellence, 5 million balloons produced daily, and almost no direct relationships with the buyers who could scale their business. 5 Blocs changed that.

Everts is one of the world’s largest latex balloon manufacturers, operating out of Melaka, Malaysia. They produce over 5 million balloons daily (1.8 billion annually) with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC, and EN71-12 certifications, and an in-house Nitrosamines test lab that most competitors cannot match.For decades, Everts operated inside conglomerates including Party City, Amscan, and Wonder Group. When the group went into administration, Everts’ Managing Director acquired the business alongside Blandford Capital, a London-based private equity firm. The result: world-class manufacturing capability, a UK holding company structure, and a sales pipeline that needed to be built from scratch.

[H2] The Challenge

[H4] Built to Supply the World. Unknown to the World

Everts had the manufacturing credentials of a world-class supplier. The problem was that nobody outside their existing relationships knew it.Their digital presence was built around former parent companies — Amscan, Party City, Wonder Group — leaving global buyers confused about who Everts even was as an independent business. There was no positioning, no messaging that reflected their true scale, and no reason for a Fortune 500 sourcing team to take them seriously. A century of manufacturing excellence was effectively invisible online.Global sourcing teams couldn’t find them. And when they did land on the site, nothing told them why Everts deserved a place on their vendor shortlist.

[H4] That's Where We Came In

The brief to 5 Blocs: build the commercial identity, the digital infrastructure, and the sales pipeline that Everts’ manufacturing capability deserved — starting immediately.

[H2] What We Did

[H2] Phase 1: Digital Rebuild

Before a single outreach email was sent, we rebuilt Everts’ commercial presence from the ground up.  We gave Everts a voice, a narrative, and a digital home that finally reflected what they actually were: one of the world’s most capable latex balloon manufacturers, operating independently and ready to supply the world’s biggest retailers directly.The new everts.com.my was built for one specific audience: senior sourcing and procurement managers at global retail chains.Repositioned Everts as an independent world-class OEM partner — shedding legacy group associations entirely and establishing a clear, standalone brand identity.Built the brand narrative around scale and capability: “5 Million Balloons Daily. One Global Partner.”Created dedicated compliance and certification pages covering ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN71-12, and Nitrosamines — the exact credentials enterprise buyers verify before approving a new vendor.Implemented behavioral lead intelligence tracking to identify high-intent visitors by the specific pages they engaged with, enabling personalised outreach before a prospect ever filled out a form.

[H2] Phase 2: Executive-Level Outreach

5 Blocs ran two parallel tracks simultaneously. The first targeted senior decision-makers at global retail chains — CEOs, Chief Merchandising Officers, and VP-level sourcing heads — going above the standard procurement layer to generate warm internal referrals. The second targeted wholesalers and distributors across Europe, Australia, the Americas, and Southeast Asia, identifying companies already buying from competitors and positioning Everts as the superior alternative on price, compliance, and supply reliability.

[H3] 5 Blocs managed the entire funnel throughout — from first contact to facilitating executive introductions, handling objections, and coordinating sample requests and compliance documentation on behalf of the client.

[H3] How 5 Blocs Work Differently

Most agencies hand over a list of contacts and call it lead generation. 5 Blocs manages the entire sales development function  (from digital infrastructure to executive introductions) so clients focus on their core business while we fill the pipeline.We build before we outreach. Most agencies conduct outreach before their client is ready to be found. We don’t. Before a single message goes out, we make sure your commercial identity, positioning, and digital presence can withstand the scrutiny of a Fortune 500 sourcing team.We go to the top. CEOs, COOs, and Chief Merchandising Officers respond and refer internally. Junior buyers rarely move fast enough to matter.We use behavioral intelligence. When a senior sourcing lead spends time on your certifications page, we know, and our follow-up reflects exactly what they were evaluating.We run the whole funnel. First email, objection handling, meeting facilitation, and executive introductions. Our clients show up to warm conversations, not cold pitches.We work all channels. Retail. Wholesale. Distribution. We identify where the fastest and highest-value opportunities sit for your specific product — and pursue them in parallel, not in sequence.
