Raising awareness, connections and introductions as part of a global campaign

Deep Green is an innovative and sustainability-forward data centre operator that has developed a first-in-industry system for recapturing the heat produced by data centres to channel it into positive, environmental, and community-focused purposes. Initiatives where Deep Green contributes heat include swimming pools and district heating systems.

Deep Green engaged Cambridge Management Consulting (Cambridge MC) to help bring awareness to this innovative technology and expand its market presence through Cambridge MC’s global network of clients and customers.

Deep Green engaged Cambridge MC to support the expansion of its market presence. Though awareness of its innovative technology was already high due to positive PR surrounding its sustainable applications, Deep Green required established expertise to maintain this presence and translate it into meaningful business ventures.

As a consultancy with global reach and successful track record within its network of clients and customers, Cambridge MC were chosen to provide this support. Particularly, Deep Green sought relevant introductions with resellers, MSPs, system integrators, and more.

Approach & Skills

Cambridge MC’s initial approach focused on supporting Deep Green by facilitating meaningful introductions and relevant conversations with contacts in the telecommunications space who could benefit from Deep Green’s technology and data centre facilities.

However, Cambridge MC were so successful in this stage of the joint venture that the engagement was reframed due to an influx of clients. Thus, Cambridge MC’s focus shifted from supporting the ‘demand network’ of Deep Green’s business, to developing its ‘supply network’.

In other words, Cambridge MC were retained to continue using its global network to source organisations which could find homes for Deep Green’s data centres to house its increased demand. These included heat network partners, planning authority entities, and more.

Throughout all of this, Cambridge MC were instrumental in providing Deep Green with access to executive-level conversations which otherwise would have taken longer to develop and maintain — thus growing its market position and awareness with the right contacts, not just the market at large. Furthermore, Deep Green have not only heightened their presence in the UK as originally anticipated, but also overseas in the US.

Skills & Knowledge

As the engagement between Cambridge MC and Deep Green progressed, the breadth of Cambridge MC’s support expanded from facilitating key contacts, clients, and suppliers to grow its business, to providing technical consulting and strategic advice across all areas of Deep Green’s operations.

Initially beginning with leadership from Stuart Curzon, Chief Commercial Officer for Cambridge MC and lead for Sales & Strategy, Deep Green was later joined by a team of industry experts from the wider Cambridge MC network. While Stuart was instrumental in helping to accelerate Deep Green’s sales acumen and market strategy, Deep Green were further benefitted by support regarding the data centre market, public sector, and procurement approach.

“Cambridge MC has helped Deep Green capitalise on our initial PR-generated awareness, facilitating important conversations with infrastructure partners here in the UK and internationally. These are invaluable in the growth of both demand and host partner pipelines. They have also provided us with strategic counsel and market insights as we deliver the vision of our business; they are part of the team."

Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer

by Mauro Mortali • 9 May 2026

We were approached by a global networking systems, services, and software company that specialises in optical and routing solutions. Their technology helps carriers, enterprises, and governments build more efficient and scalable networks, particularly for high-bandwidth applications like 5G, cloud computing, and AI-driven networking. Africa is a key strategic market for this client. They are also playing an active role in advancing outlined 5G technology on the continent, emphasising a focus on routing and switching aggregation components, network slicing, and monetisation. The Opportunity The client engaged Cambridge MC to provide external insight and support to augment and accelerate the progress of their Go-to-Market plans for Africa. We proposed our in-house rapid Strategy Stress Test that delivers key insights across areas of your strategy using a 1–5 health-scoring matrix. The client's aim is to grow market share in the region with a precisely focussed strategy that targets their market with key propositions and solutions. We were engaged to review this strategy and their plans for the region, identifying critical opportunities and gaps with a quick turnaround. Approach We used our Rapid Strategy Stress Test methodology which provides: Target geographies, opportunities, and partners for resource effectiveness and success maximisation Assessment of client's Go-to-Market Strategy including identification and testing of key assumptions Identification of new opportunities and any gaps in the strategy Recommendations on how best to capitalise on the market and accelerate their route to success This included carrying out target addressable and client-addressable market sizing by country for the Optical, Data Centre Interconnect, Routing and Switching portfolios; competitor market share analysis; analysis of current and planned data centre build in the target countries; future trend analysis, including Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental trends by country. We put their GtM strategy and plans through our Stress Test framework, scoring capabilities against best-in-class – across 11 parameters such as Market Potential, Adaptability to Local Needs, Pricing and Marketing & Demand Generation. Recommendations were made against each of the 11 areas relating to opportunities to accelerate their GtM strategy. In order to support effective targeting of resources into key countries, we developed a country prioritisation framework across 15 parameters, such as GDP growth, energy supply, stability of regulatory environment, and ease of doing business. This quantitative assessment was supplemented with the real world experience of our Africa experts.
