We know enterprise environments, speak their language, and provide data-driven advisory with design, execution, reporting and optimization in one team. Our weekly and monthly reporting is built for CMOs who must show results and progress to management. Below is a side-by-side view based on TopRank Marketing’s own website, and when each is the better choice.

How we work with your marketing team
- We join your team as in-house resources: strategy, design, execution, reporting and optimization under one senior owner
- Data-driven advisory first: we recommend where budget and effort should go and show the numbers behind it
- A weekly working session and a monthly executive readout designed for the CMO to take to management
- Every program reported on pipeline, revenue and ARR from your CRM, not on clicks and impressions
Eight questions to ask both agencies
- Who will run my account day to day, and how senior are they?
- Which numbers will you report every week, and can I see a real sample?
- Is reporting tied to pipeline and revenue in my CRM, or to clicks and leads?
- What is the minimum term, and how much notice do I give to stop?
- Is ad spend inside your fee or on top of it, and who owns the ad accounts?
- Which platforms (CRM, ABM, analytics) do you operate hands-on today?
- Which languages and markets can you write for natively?
- What happens in the first 30, 60 and 90 days?
