Real Partner Marketing

Better partners.
Better economics.
Better growth.

We help companies build, manage and scale partner marketing programs that turn customer acquisition spend into measurable business results.

Partner Marketing, In Plain English

Marketing works better when everybody is solving the same problem.

Partner marketing connects brands with outside companies that can help them acquire customers — affiliates, publishers, lead generators, call providers, agencies, technology platforms and media partners.

Our job is to build those relationships, manage the economics and make sure all that activity actually turns into customers and revenue.

The Problem

Most partner programs look busier in the dashboard than they do in the P&L.

Leads get delivered. Calls come in. Reports get generated. Everybody points to their own metric.

But did anybody actually make money?

Why We Built RPM

We've sat on your side of the table.

We've managed large acquisition budgets, bought leads and calls, negotiated with publishers, operated affiliate programs and carried the revenue number.

We've also dealt with the ugly stuff: duplicate leads, attribution problems, missed calls, bad routing, poor lead quality, cancellations, vendor excuses and executives asking why marketing spend isn't translating into revenue.

Real Partner Marketing was built around everything we wished our partners understood when we were the buyer.

Our View

We don't stop at the handoff.

Delivering a lead isn't the finish line. Neither is a click, a call or an appointment.

  • Did they answer?
  • Did they book?
  • Did they show?
  • Did they buy?
  • Did the company make money?
  • Should we spend another dollar?

Full-Funnel Economics

Every step matters.

We follow performance beyond the media metric so we can understand where value is being created — and where it is being lost.
