Antonin turned a nonexistent network into a targeted local pipeline and laid the groundwork for an inbound and outbound lead generation machine.
About Antonin
Antonin Boiveau runs a design studio he founded in 2011. As a solo founder, he handles creative direction, client projects, sales, and strategy. Time is his rarest resource, and business development isn’t his specialty.
A network of peers, not prospects
Before Waalaxy, Antonin’s LinkedIn network was almost entirely designers, graphic artists, and other creatives. Great peers. Wrong audience.
When he committed to posting three times a week on his clients’ problems and solutions, a new issue surfaced. His content reached the wrong people. He didn’t need more visibility. He needed the right audience.
On top of that, manually searching, targeting, and inviting prospects one by one wasn’t sustainable.
Why Waalaxy? Speed, simplicity, and real results
What convinced him to keep going wasn’t only the speed. It was the immediate traction. He launched his first campaign and saw connection requests accepted within the hour.
The time savings were obvious. What took close to 6 hours a week of manual prospecting now takes a weekly 10-minute check-in.
And with geographic filtering, he connects only with local decision-makers he meets in person.
How Antonin uses Waalaxy
His approach is simple and effective.
1
One tightly targeted campaign at a time.
2
LinkedIn search imports filtered by geography and role.
3
“We’re both business owners in [region], let’s connect.” No pitch. No friction.
4
Three posts a week addressing real client problems.
5
Engage with people who like or comment before reaching out.
For higher-value prospects, Antonin adds a personal touch: mini website audits and tailored prospecting messages.
He’s exploring automated follow-up sequences to go even further.
The snowball effect
This strategy only launched in January 2026, but the effects are already showing:
More common connections = more trust
Content now reaches real ICPs
Prospects see relevant, credibility-building posts the moment they check his profile
What started as audience-building has become a real growth engine.
