Microsoft Marketing Agency for US Microsoft Partners

Not a Microsoft Ads agency - a marketing agency that works exclusively with Microsoft Partners, distributors and ISVs. Strategy, demand, content, SEO and co-sell built around how US Microsoft Partners actually go to market.

Not a Microsoft Advertising shop. A marketing agency for Microsoft Partners.

"Microsoft marketing agency" gets used two different ways. Some people mean an agency that buys ads through Microsoft Advertising (the Bing network). We're the other kind - a Microsoft marketing agency that works exclusively with Microsoft Partners, distributors and ISVs on the marketing that grows their business inside the Microsoft ecosystem.

If you need someone to run Bing or Microsoft Ads for a general audience, we're not your agency. If you're a Solutions Partner, ISV, MSP or distributor looking for a Microsoft marketing agency fluent in co-sell, MCI, MDF, Azure Marketplace and Solutions Partner designations, keep reading.

Two very different things called "Microsoft marketing agency"

A Microsoft Ads agency helps advertisers buy paid search and display inventory on Microsoft's ad network. That's a media-buying discipline.

A Microsoft marketing agency (in our sense) helps Microsoft Partners market and sell their solutions: strategy, positioning, demand generation, content, ABM, co-sell enablement and everything else that goes into growing inside the Microsoft ecosystem.

Same phrase, different jobs. We do the second one, and only the second one.

Why a Microsoft-specialist agency beats a generalist

Generalist agencies treat Microsoft as a vendor logo on a slide. A Microsoft marketing agency treats it as the operating system of your entire go-to-market, because for a Microsoft Partner, that's exactly what it is.

That means we already speak co-sell, MCI, MACC, ISV, MSP, FastTrack, Cloud Ascent, Solutions Partner designations and specializations. You skip the months of onboarding, and the plans land with Microsoft's sellers, customers and your own account team from day one.

US and Canadian partners also run to a different rhythm than the rest of the world: budgets reset on Microsoft's July 1 fiscal year, MDF claims tend to bunch up ahead of Ignite each fall, and buying committees at US healthcare systems, state agencies and mid-market manufacturers move at a different pace than an enterprise account in EMEA. We build plans around that calendar, not a generic one.

One ecosystem, four flavors, all Microsoft, all the time.

When people search "Microsoft marketing agency", they usually mean one of these

If any of these sound like you, we're the Microsoft marketing agency you're looking for.

  • You're a Microsoft Partner and your current agency doesn't understand co-sell, MCI or the Solutions Partner program.
  • You're an ISV and your Azure Marketplace listing isn't converting or influencing MACC deals.
  • You want to be top of mind when Microsoft's sales teams think about your solution area.
  • You're targeting US public sector, state and local government or healthcare buyers and need messaging that survives procurement, not just a sales pitch.
  • You're spending MDF or co-op dollars and need pipeline out of it, not just posters.
  • You have an in-house marketer or small team who need senior strategic support, not another freelancer.

A quick note on Microsoft Advertising

We don't run Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) accounts as a standalone media-buying service. Paid search and paid social absolutely show up in the campaigns we run for Microsoft Partners, across Google, LinkedIn, Bing and programmatic, but always as part of an integrated plan built for a partner selling Microsoft solutions.

If you need a Microsoft Ads specialist for a business that isn't a Microsoft Partner, we're not the right fit, and we'll tell you that upfront.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is Resultful a Microsoft Ads agency?

No. We're a Microsoft marketing agency in the sense of working exclusively with Microsoft Partners, distributors and ISVs on their marketing. Paid search and paid social, including Microsoft/Bing Ads, can be part of a campaign we run for a partner, but we don't sell standalone Microsoft Ads media-buying services.

What's the difference between a Microsoft marketing agency and a Microsoft Partner marketing agency?

In practice they're the same thing when applied to Microsoft Partners: a marketing agency built around the Microsoft ecosystem. "Microsoft Partner marketing agency" is the more specific term. "Microsoft marketing agency" is what people often type into Google or ChatGPT when they mean the same thing.

Are you a Microsoft Partner?

No, we're a marketing agency, not a Microsoft Partner. We've built our whole business around the Microsoft ecosystem, so we live the same realities our clients face: partner contracts, MDF and co-op deadlines, and Microsoft's annual fiscal reset.

Which Microsoft solution areas do you cover?

All six: Modern Work, Security, Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, Business Applications and Infrastructure. Most engagements focus on one or two solution areas at a time, matched to the partner's designations and current FY priorities.

Where are you based and who do you work with?

We work with Microsoft Partners across the US, Canada, the UK, EMEA and APAC, and adapt our approach to your time zone and market.
