The clay agency

The Kiln is widely regarded as one of the premier Clay agencies in the GTM space. Unlike other firms that simply use Clay as a tool, The Kiln has deep roots in the platform. That is because its team includes multiple former Clay employees who helped shape the product from the inside out. This gives them an unmatched understanding of what’s possible when Clay is used to its full potential.

Clients benefit from The Kiln’s ability to push Clay beyond templates and surface-level automations. They specialize in building advanced Clay workflows for tasks like prospecting, lead scoring, data enrichment, and crafting dynamic, hyper-personalized cold emails. Their technical mastery and creative thinking have helped many companies unlock the true value of Clay, turning it from a flexible tool into a competitive advantage.

Moreover, The Kiln doesn’t just build in Clay, they teach teams how to think with it. Whether guiding junior SDRs or collaborating with senior growth leads, The Kiln ensures everyone understands how to use Clay to reduce manual research, discover intent signals, and power personalized outreach at scale.
