"Marketo Experts at your Service"
5/5
Describe the project or task CS2 helped with:

CS2 Marketing has helped with a number of projects in the past - whether it be helping find/solve bugs to recommending better ways to set up processes. Since they work with several different clients they always are finding new and improved best practices that can be applied to most businesses. There hasn't been a project that I've found that they didn't have great recommendations for. What's more, is that they are not only strategical but also tactical.

What do you like best about CS2?

What I like best is that they are easy to work with and are incredibly smart. They work in a way that they are teaching you and not just doing all of the work. They are very friendly, communicative and punctual. I also love that they have a Slack channel for emergency questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best Marketing Ops Team Ever"
5/5
Describe the project or task CS2 helped with:

I've brought in the team at CS2 to run marketing ops and demand gen campaigns for every startup I've led marketing for - there is no one in the business that's better. Easiest decision you'll ever make. They are masters and I've used them for everything ops and demand gen related. Some things we've worked on:

- Ops related - setting up marketing automation (we've done Hubspot, Marketo, Eloqua and Pardot), lead scoring, target account lists, all SaaS integrations , setup Salesforce, establish lead and opportunity tracking and management, performance dashboards, reporting

- Demand gen related - develop ABM strategy, create email marketing, advertising, & direct mail campaigns, execute parts of event marketing campaigns

- Sales dev related - sales development training playbooks, sales dev trainings, setting up cadences and writing voice and email scripts

- Strategy - CS2 is a true extension of my team. They participate in quarterly brainstorming sessions to provide their perspective and creative approach to campaign development. I also use them as a sounding board for priorities and ideation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CS2?

Easy to work with, extremely organized and on top of all deliverables, strategic and creative! For me, knowing their team is extremely creative is important, because that helps drive great outcomes. One of the best things about CS2 is they also get sales! This makes it really easy to build trust between what marketing is doing from an ops perspective and the sales team.

They offer fast, pragmatic solutions to help you get your operations team structured in the right way and delivering real value to the customers in your organisation. This is because they have deep experience and a lean agency model. They also refuse to follow the 'B2B Marketing Herd' and challenge the status quo by homing in on data, insight and results. A gem of an agency! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
