Our Folklore

Individual research, at scale, written by people who actually read it.

Folklore is a London-based B2B outreach agency. We research every prospect individually and write every message from scratch. This is the team, the methodology, and how the agency is structured.

01Why we built it

The industry had a problem it wasn’t willing to admit.

Most “personalised” campaigns weren’t personal at all. Agencies researched companies, inserted facts into templates, and called the result individual attention. Prospects could tell immediately. They still can.

The question was whether individual research – into each target’s background, priorities, and situation – could be done at scale without sacrificing quality. It can. That’s our business.

02The founders
James Avery

Co-Founder & Strategy Director

James Avery

James

James leads client strategy, campaign architecture, and all copywriting. He has spent his career at the intersection of writing and commercial strategy – including roles in professional services and B2B technology.

Before Folklore, he developed a precision ABM methodology at a UK e-commerce technology company, building campaigns that secured partnerships with major retail chains and contributed materially to the company’s acquisition by a US private equity firm.

At Folklore, he oversees the research and writing process across every campaign – setting strategy, reviewing prospect dossiers, and signing off every message before it goes out.

Cameron Harris

Co-Founder & Technical Director

Cameron Harris

Cameron

Cameron leads the research infrastructure and all technical operations at Folklore. His career has sat at the intersection of AI systems and product thinking – from cybersecurity engineering into product management, most recently at an AI code-generation start-up before Folklore.

His earliest research work was in AI for medical imaging at university – a domain where the cost of a wrong inference is high and explainability matters. The cybersecurity engineering that followed sharpened the same instinct from a different angle. Product management then added the discipline of understanding user behaviour empirically – the part of Folklore’s job no AI alone can do.

At Folklore, he runs the research pipeline and all the technical operations behind every campaign – the systems that source signals on every target, the infrastructure that puts the messages in front of them, and the work of refining both as each campaign sharpens over time.

03How we work

Fewer campaigns, run well. Not more campaigns, run badly.

Staying selective

We’re selective about which campaigns we take on. Before any engagement begins, we’ll tell you honestly whether we think the brief will work – whether the target market is reachable, whether the proposition is sharp enough, whether the outreach quality we can deliver will translate into the conversations you need.

Direct access

Every client works directly with James and Cameron throughout. There’s no account management layer between strategy and delivery.

Trusted network

When clients need support beyond outreach – positioning, website builds, brand work – we draw on a vetted network of specialists who share our approach to quality.

What we believe
  1. 01

    Templates get ignored. Individual research gets responses.

  2. 02

    The point isn’t how many messages you send, it’s who replies.

  3. 03

    The best message is one that reads like it couldn’t have been written for anyone else.
