The problem with how most partners buy marketing
You hire an agency for a project. It goes fine. Then the project ends, the momentum dies, and six months later you're back at the start, re-briefing someone new on who you are and what you sell.
Or you go the other way and sign a big retainer you're not ready to feed, and half of it goes unused while you're heads-down on a delivery deadline.
Neither works. Marketing for a Microsoft partner isn't a steady-state activity. It moves with your funding, your fiscal year, your team, and whatever Microsoft has just changed.
So the support needs to move too.
What "scalable" actually means here
Not a vague promise to "grow with you". Three specific things.
You start where you are
That might be a proposition workshop, a single campaign, or a hand on the tiller for the person already doing your marketing alongside three other jobs.
You flex up and down by quarter
Busy delivery quarter and nothing to promote? Dial it back. Big co-op budget landing in H2? Turn it up without a three-month onboarding lag.
You never re-explain yourself
We keep the strategy, the messaging, the audience work and the campaign history. Pick it back up in month nine and we're already in.
The result? You get proper marketing without carrying the cost of a full in-house team you can't keep busy.
Who this is for
Microsoft partners - MSPs, ISVs, consultancies and resellers - who are serious about growth but don't have a marketing function to match the ambition.
No marketing team at all
The MD or sales lead has been doing it in the gaps, between everything else that has to get done that week.
One brilliant, stretched marketer
They're good. They're also on their own, and they need strategy and specialist hands around them to get further.
A small team strong on delivery
They can execute, but they want a sharper proposition and a joined-up plan sitting behind the activity.
We only work with Microsoft partners. That's a deliberate choice, and it means we're not learning your world on your budget.
How we support you
Proposition and positioning
Before anything gets built, we pin down who you're for, what you actually fix, and why someone should choose you over the partner down the road. Most partner websites are interchangeable. This is the bit that stops yours being one of them.
Campaigns that go somewhere
Full campaign build and delivery - content, email, LinkedIn, landing pages, follow-up. Planned around a real audience and a real buying conversation, not a content calendar for its own sake. Including co-op and MDF-funded work, built so it survives the paperwork.
Marketing as a service
An ongoing marketing function without the headcount. Strategy, planning, execution and reporting on a monthly rhythm, scaled to whatever this quarter needs.
Workshops and capability building
Half-day and full-day sessions that leave your team with the frameworks, not just the output. Proposition, messaging, campaign planning, using AI in marketing sensibly. You keep everything we build. That's the point.
Microsoft-specific support
Partner-to-partner marketing, co-sell readiness, making your designations and specialisations mean something to a buyer who's never heard of them, and giving Microsoft sellers something they'll happily put their name to.
What you get that a generalist agency can't give you
Straight answer: context.
We know how the partner ecosystem works, what shifts when Microsoft changes its incentive model, and what a Microsoft account team needs to see before they'll bring you into a deal.
That means less time briefing, fewer wrong turns, and marketing that lands with the people who actually influence your pipeline. If you're still weighing up options, our guide on how to choose a Microsoft Partner marketing agency is a good place to start.
How it works
A conversation
15 minutes, no obligation. What's working, what isn't, what you're actually trying to achieve this year.
A straight recommendation
Including "you don't need us for this yet" if that's the honest answer.
A scoped starting point
Small enough to prove the value, structured so it scales.
Review every quarter
Up, down, or hold. Your call, based on numbers we agreed at the start.
What we measure
Qualified conversations. Meetings booked. Opportunities influenced. Pipeline created.
Not impressions, and not a vanity engagement rate on a post nobody in your target market saw.
We'll tell you at the outset what a realistic three-month picture looks like and what a twelve-month one does, including the unglamorous truth that B2B tech buying cycles are long. Anyone promising you a flood of qualified leads by week six is guessing.
A word on saying no
If your proposition's muddled, more content just spreads the confusion faster. If sales follow-up is patchy, more leads become a bigger pile of ignored enquiries.
We'll say so. Even when the easier sell would be to take the retainer and get on with it.
Plenty of partners come to us mid-year with co-op money to spend and no plan to spend it against. If that's you, start with our Microsoft Co-op funds hub and we'll shape the activity around what's actually claimable.
