Doppel growth playbook

Diagnosis

Doppel is growing fast (3x ARR, 250+ customers, a $70M Series C) and its hiring shows the plan: Enterprise AEs in eleven territories, field marketers and channel managers for Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana-Arkansas and the Northwest, an ABM director for $2.5B+ accounts, an HRM product marketer and a new SDR leader.

The site is rich, but its proof does not match those territories: no customer stories from energy, manufacturing or healthcare, a Government page that cannot be reached and links its sources wrongly, and no email security comparisons. This playbook fixes the proof first, routes assessment takers to SDRs, and gives field, ABM and channel teams formats that use Doppel's own product as the pitch.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Use Doppel's own product as the marketing: industry proof, exposure snapshots for target accounts and live deepfake demos, in the territories being opened now.

Biggest Risk

Abnormal, KnowBe4, Adaptive Security and ZeroFox all sell into the same security budgets, and many new AEs ramping at once can stall without industry proof and clear competitive positioning.

    Doppel is hiring Enterprise AEs for Texas, Michigan/Wisconsin, Tennessee and DC, field marketers for Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana-Arkansas and the Northwest, and an ABM director for $2.5B+ accounts. Those buyers are energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare and public-sector organizations. But the customers page has nine stories, three of them crypto, and none from manufacturing, healthcare or energy, although its own industry filter lists all three. The energy and manufacturing pages lean on third-party ransomware statistics and link only ARK Invest and REA Group. Doppel already names Ameren (a utility) as a customer, and its podcast has hosted security leaders from Eversource Energy, Cummins and Old National Bank.

    Smallest test

    Publish one anonymized energy story and send it to ten Texas target accounts.

    Why it works

    Publish three industry stories in 30 days, using the anonymized format Doppel already uses for the "global productivity platform" and the CISO story: one energy or utility, one manufacturer, one healthcare organization. Each gives the threat they faced (helpdesk vishing, vendor impersonation, fake patient portals), the takedown or simulation numbers, and one quote. Put each story on its industry page above the statistics, tag it in the customers filter, and give the ABM and field teams a one-page PDF version for direct mail and event follow-up.

    An enterprise buyer in a regulated industry wants proof from a peer, not a market statistic. Anonymized stories are fast to approve, and they arm every new AE and field marketer in the territories being opened now.

    Ready to use

    ChecklistIndustry story brief

    [ ] Industry and size band (no name needed)
    [ ] The attack they faced, in their words
    [ ] Channels covered (domains, social, voice, email)
    [ ] Numbers: threats found, median takedown time, simulation results
    [ ] One quote from the security leader
    [ ] Placement: industry page, customers filter, PDF for field and ABM
    [ ] Tracked link for ABM and AE sequences

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Customers will not be named

      Use the anonymized format already on the site.

    • Thin numbers for new customers

      Use simulation results, which come quickly.

    Fix the links and navigation today.

    Why it works

    Rewrite the page in the current three-solution language, fix the four source links, add it to the Solutions menu and footer, and add what public buyers look for: how to buy (Carahsoft and other partners), SAM.gov registration details, security certifications, and the federal briefing recording. Route its demo form to the DMV AE.

    Public-sector buyers check how to buy before they take a meeting. A page that looks unfinished costs credibility in the one territory where procurement detail matters most.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Claims about compliance

      List only certifications already held; keep roadmap items off the page.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteThe Government industry page is in the sitemap but not in the Solutions menu, the footer or on the homepage (the menu lists ten industries without it). It still uses older "Doppel Vision" copy, and the source note under each of its four headline numbers ("+1B Indicators Analyzed", "4.82min Median Response Time", "12min", "<10h") is a "* Link" that points to the LinkedIn integration page. It has no mention of contract vehicles, Carahsoft or public-sector compliance.Source
    • Public recordsSAM.gov lists DOPPEL INC. as an active entity registered on June 1, 2026 for "All awards" (NAICS 541519 primary, also 513210 and 541512). Doppel's partner directory includes Carahsoft, and its events include a "Federal Threat Intelligence Briefing: Defending Government Executives".Source

    Publish the Abnormal page first.

    Why it works

    Write "Doppel vs Abnormal", "Doppel vs Proofpoint" and "Doppel vs Microsoft Defender for Office 365" pages in the existing evaluation-guide format ("Best for", "Where buyers tell us they fall short"), and add an email section to the KnowBe4 and Adaptive pages. Lead with what is different: connecting the inbox to the attacker infrastructure behind it.

    Comparison searches come from buyers already in evaluation, and the format and approval process already exist.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Outdated rival claims

      Date each page and review quarterly.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteComparison pages (8): Doppel vs Legacy SAT, Legacy DRP, ZeroFox, Netcraft, Outtake, KnowBe4, Adaptive Security and Hoxhunt.

    Smallest test

    Route one week of takers by hand.

    Why it works

    Ask for a work email at the results step, send the score and fix list by email, and route each taker to an SDR within an hour with the score and weakest stage in the CRM. The SDR opens with that stage and offers the matching proof: a takedown demo for Setup, a deepfake simulation for Engagement.

    A security leader who just scored their own program is at peak interest, and the score gives the SDR a specific opening.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Fewer completions with a form

      Show the score first; ask for email to send the fix list.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteFree entry points already on the site: a "15 question assessment" giving "a 0-100 social engineering risk score" with "a prioritized fix list" ("Under 4 minutes.

    The new field marketers will run seminars, association events and "C-level executive dinner" programs in Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana-Arkansas and the Northwest.

    Run the demo at one existing customer meeting first.

    Why it works

    Make a standard dinner format: with a guest's consent beforehand, call one guest live with a cloned voice of their own executive (or of a Doppel leader), then walk through how it was built and how to stop it. Co-host with a regional channel partner, and follow up with the free simulation offer.

    A live demonstration is memorable and creates the urgency the statistics cannot, and the simulation offer gives the follow-up a reason.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Why it works

    Find the slow interactions (menu, tabs, video embeds), defer non-critical scripts, load the guided-demo embed only on click, compress the Threat Graph hero image and remove render-blocking requests. Recheck field data after 28 days.

    A pass on all three vitals helps search and makes the first click on a security vendor's site feel quick.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Google PageSpeedHomepage, mobile: performance 89; lab largest paint 3.6 s (the Threat Graph image).

    Book a working session

    Why it works

    For the top 100 target accounts, run a light public scan and produce a short, private snapshot: counts by channel, two redacted examples and one executive at risk. Deliver it by AE or direct mail with an offer to walk through it. Never publish it.

    A finding about the buyer's own brand beats any generic message, and it shows the product working before the first call.

    Why it works

    Decide on contract vehicles with Carahsoft, publish a public-sector page and datasheet, run briefings in DC, and review which public-sector security authorizations buyers ask for before committing to one.

    Public sector is a large, sticky market that rewards early commitment.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Long sales cycles

      Start with agencies already engaged.

    Why it works

    Offer a self-serve plan with lookalike-domain and social impersonation monitoring for one brand, monthly billing and an upgrade path. Use it as a lead source for mid-market.

    Self-serve lowers the cost to win small accounts and catches companies before they grow.

How Programmable can help

Have it built

ProgrammableAgency

1 of the 21 ideas are things Programmable builds and runs for its customers: pages, outreach, prospect lists, booking flows and monitors. Pick one, or send the whole list.

Prospect lists1The list compiled from public sources, verified, deduplicated and delivered to your CRM.

A 30-minute session with the engineer who would build it, not a sales call. You leave with a plan whether or not you hire us.

Tools for the rest

ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value takedowns in minutes instead of weeks. The most cited problem: AI-scaled impersonation and phishing.

  • Coverage across domains, social, ads, messaging and voice
  • Manual triage that overloads the SOC
  • In their words: “social engineering defense”

Market

Competitive landscape

5 competitors compared: ZeroFox, Abnormal AI, KnowBe4, Adaptive Security and 1 more.

  • Gap to exploit: One platform from external takedowns to inbox and people
  • ZeroFox: Less focus on human risk
  • Abnormal AI: Inbox-centric

Hiring signals

Doppel is opening territories and building the marketing to feed them.

  • Director of ABM and Campaigns: Highest-value accounts, direct mail, pipeline math. Ideas 1, 7, 21.
