Case Study: MarketSmiths

The premier marketing agency for copywriting and content was bent on growth. They wanted to shift from labor-intensive networking efforts for generating referrals to getting most of their business from search. They wanted the mix of leads to be more enterprise. And they wanted to pull past inferior competitors creating a distraction in the market. They needed to embed an outside expert to collaborate deeply with Sales, connecting core value propositions with pivotal new customers through SEO, messaging, and campaign leadership. Daniel DiGriz of MadPipe became the firm's external CMO. This is what happened . . .
