About Us

Why We Do It

In our years of running marketing agencies, we've worked with marketing leaders at organizations of all types and sizes. From Fortune 500s and massive global conglomerates, to SaaS startups and nonprofits, there's one thing we've observed that never changes: leading marketing departments is hard.

We consistently see smart, passionate marketing leaders get hamstrung by the nature of the marketing industry itself. They don’t get the time to think deeply about problems and look ahead to the future — in other words, what they were hired to do. Instead, they are forced to spend their time reacting to internal & external demands. They’re bombarded every day with new technologies and channels that claim to “fix” every problem — when in reality, these trends just distract from the fundamentals of effective marketing.

That’s why we started upMarketer. We’re on a mission to empower marketing leaders to unleash the full potential of their marketing departments by helping them reclaim their time, and focus on what works.
