Dead Click Revival, launched in May 2025, is reshaping how businesses identify, capture, and use visitor data to strengthen marketing and sales strategies. The visitor re-identification tool begins by collecting Internet Protocol addresses from website visitors, then traces those IPs back to real individuals whose identities become usable for sales, marketing, and operations within businesses. The tool and process maintain full compliance with all email and data privacy laws while capturing information such as names, email addresses, places of work, phone numbers, LinkedIn profiles, and other data that traditional website analytics have been unable to collect.
Megan Gaffney, Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Dead Click Revival, explained the limitations of current marketing data collection. "We've been conditioned as brand owners and marketers to be okay with bare minimum data such as age, gender, and location," said Gaffney. "It's not enough anymore to be satisfied with this low level of transparency on your site." The technology's impact extends beyond simple identification to strategic business applications. Leveraging more than twenty years of marketing, creative, and sales strategy experience, Gaffney helps each client determine how data from Dead Click Revival can support business operations and increase return on investment.
"Dead Click Revival is an agnostic system that works around a company's operations tech stack and marketing and sales goals," Gaffney noted. The tool serves clients ranging from small local service providers to multi-million-dollar enterprises integrating leads into existing customer relationship management systems. The creative execution component is handled by Jason Smith, award-winning Creative Director and Partner of the Minnesota advertising agency Pocket Hercules. Smith helps clients align creative and executional strategies with findings from the Dead Click Revival tool.
"Dead Click Revival provides the lead, then Pocket Hercules crafts an engaging, resonant follow-up message to solidify the consumer relationship," said Smith. "When you connect with leads on an emotional level, that's how you establish a connection." Restricted industries including cannabis, finance, firearms, and infrastructure have particularly benefited from Dead Click Revival as a method to market around heavy digital advertising restrictions. The technology represents a significant advancement in lead generation capabilities across virtually all industry sectors.
