Microsoft Marketing Agency for 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 Microsoft Partners actually go to market.

Not a Microsoft Ads agency. A marketing agency for Microsoft Partners.

"Microsoft marketing agency" gets used two ways. Some people mean an agency that buys ads on Microsoft Advertising (the Bing side of the house). 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're looking for someone to run Bing/Microsoft Ads campaigns for a general audience, we're not the right agency for you. If you're a Solutions Partner, ISV, MSP or distributor and you want a Microsoft marketing agency that speaks co-sell, MCI, MDF, Azure Marketplace and Solutions Partner designations fluently, 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 (the sense we use it) helps Microsoft Partners market and sell their solutions - strategy, positioning, demand generation, content, ABM, co-sell enablement and everything that goes with growing inside the Microsoft ecosystem.

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

What Resultful actually does

A joined-up marketing function for Microsoft Partners - available as a full engagement or as targeted plug-ins.

Why a Microsoft-specialist marketing agency, not a generalist?

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

That means we already speak co-sell, MCI, MACC, ISV, MSP, FastTrack, Cloud Ascent, Solutions Partner designations and specialisations. You don't pay for months of onboarding, and plans land with Microsoft sellers, customers and your own Microsoft account team from day one.

Who we work with

One audience, four flavours - 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 programme.
  • You're an ISV and your Azure Marketplace listing isn't converting or influencing MACC deals.
  • You want to be on the shortlist when Microsoft sellers think about your solution area.
  • You're spending MDF or co-op funds 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 general media-buying service. Paid search and paid social absolutely feature in the campaigns we run for Microsoft Partners - across Google, LinkedIn, Bing/Microsoft and programmatic - but always as part of an integrated plan for a partner selling Microsoft solutions.

If you need a Microsoft Ads specialist for a non-Microsoft-Partner business, we're not the right fit and we'll tell you that up front.

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 the phrase 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 realities our clients face: partner contracts, PDM relationships, 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 are focused on one or two solution areas at a time, matched to the partner's designations and the FY priorities the customer field cares about.

Where are you based and where do you work?

We're headquartered in the UK and work with Microsoft Partners across the UK, EMEA, APAC and North America. We adapt to your time zone and market.
