ORRJO vs Refine Labs. Honest read.
Refine Labs runs The Vault (a methodology subscription) and demand-gen consulting. ORRJO is a full-stack B2B revenue agency running lead gen, demand gen, intelligence and creative as one team. They overlap on demand gen, diverge everywhere else.
Short version
Pick Refine Labs if you want the playbook and the podcast. Pick ORRJO if you want the team that runs it.
Refine Labs has built one of the most respected demand-gen brands in B2B. Chris Walker's podcast and the Vault subscription give buyers a strong methodological frame. The execution layer is consulting plus a managed services arm.
ORRJO is built differently. We run lead generation, demand generation, intelligence, and creative as four interconnected services with one accountable team per client. Most ORRJO clients want the work done, not the playbook to study.
The choice is largely about whether you want a methodology subscription with selective consulting (Refine Labs), or a full-service execution partner (ORRJO).

When Refine Labs is the right call
Honest about fit.
You are an established US B2B SaaS with internal capacity and want a methodology to align your team around. Refine Labs's Vault gives you Chris Walker's frameworks and a community of operators using them.
You want to learn rather than have it done for you. The Vault is a study product. The podcast is content. Both work if your team is capable of operationalising them.
Your annual marketing budget is north of £500k and you want premium consulting on top of internal execution.
When ORRJO is the right call
And when we genuinely are.
You want lead gen and demand gen run by the same team rather than coordinating two vendors. Refine Labs is demand-gen-led; ORRJO operates as a unified revenue function.
Your stage is between £1M and £25M ARR and you do not have a full in-house team. ORRJO is built for that.
You are based in or sell into UK, EMEA, or APAC. Refine Labs is US-anchored; ORRJO is London-led with global delivery.
You want execution this month, not a methodology to absorb over the next quarter.
FAQ
No, and we are not trying to. Our IP shows up in the work we do for clients. If you want the methodology to study and operationalise yourself, the Vault is a strong product. If you want the work done, ORRJO is the fit.
Limited. Refine Labs is demand-gen-led. Outbound is not their primary practice. ORRJO runs SDR-as-a-service as a core offer with senior strategy on every account.
Refine Labs consulting starts in the high five figures monthly. The Vault is a self-serve subscription tier. ORRJO retainers start at £1,500/mo (Demand Gen) and £3,995/mo (Lead Gen). The shapes are different — Refine Labs sells methodology + selective consulting, ORRJO sells integrated monthly execution.
Yes, several ORRJO clients reference Vault frameworks in their internal language. The two are not mutually exclusive — they sit at different points on the build/buy line.
