Auditing services that ensure your marketing teams/agencies deliver top performance at optimal costs.

We are former agency and in-house marketing experts who understand the challenge of maintaining high efficiency & accountability from internal and agency resources.

Common Marketing Concerns

Are my agency partner fees too high?

Our team can provide contract and scope-of-work reviews and comparisons for your team to ensure your fees are appropriate. With our wide expertise across multiple industries and organizations ranging in size, we can assist with identifying cost savings.

Are we budgeting appropriately for our marketing projects?

Our engagement can include an in-depth review of your organizations and team’s short and long term goals. We provide strategic recommendations for budget allocation to assist with P&L development. We also provide an in-depth review of paid advertising campaign budgets and performance.

Are we focused on the right areas to meet our goals?

It’s a common concern for brand’s to overspend time and resources towards areas that do not move the needle for business growth. We provide a full audit and strategic recommendations for aligning your initiatives and goals to keep the team on track.

Our internal team is stretched too thin and could benefit from strategic support 

Let our team provide monthly, quarterly and annual roadmaps for key projects and initiatives so your team can focus on the execution & implementation. In true collaboration, we can serve as an extra marketing arm to help key projects make it over the finish line.

Is my agency partner performing to the best of their capabilities?

Too often agencies are stretched too thin for their clientele. The start of an engagement may be going well, but over time, focus can be shifted elsewhere and reduced attention may be given towards your account. Our agency audits provide a deep dive into performance and time spent on your account. We can also provide your team with communication assistance to get your agency back on track.

Are the right teams in place across our marketing channels?

We assist both brands and private equity groups in evaluating their team and organizational structure to identify gaps in expertise, low efficiency areas and redundancies.
