Agencies are being asked to do more than ever. Clients expect expertise across websites, SEO, paid search, social, creative, analytics, streaming television, programmatic media and an expanding number of digital channels. Building deep expertise and technology in every one of those areas isn’t always practical—or necessary. 

MarketStorm gives agencies another option. 

Agencies / White Label

Add an Intelligence Layer Without Building One

Book a Demo Talk to MarketStorm

We provide a specialized Intent & Influence Layer that agencies can add to the marketing capabilities they already have.

Through our white-label partnerships, agencies gain access to the MarketStorm Intelligence Engine™, behavioral audience intelligence, custom algorithms and cross-channel programmatic activation without having to build the underlying technology and data science infrastructure themselves. 

Just as importantly, we are not trying to become the agency. 

We Don’t Build Websites.
We Don’t Do SEO.
We Don’t Manage Social.
We Don’t Manage Google.

We know that matters. MarketStorm is not a website agency. We are
not an SEO agency. We are not a social media agency. We are not a Google Ads agency. We don’t want to replace the companies that do
those things well, and we don’t need to compete with them for the client’s marketing budget. 

Our role sits somewhere different in the marketing ecosystem. 
MarketStorm specializes in identifying emerging consumer intent and creating opportunities to influence those consumers before demand becomes explicit. We use behavioral intelligence, AI and custom algorithms to determine which audiences may matter, then activate those audiences across programmatic media environments such as Connected TV, Display, Native, Streaming Audio and Digital Out-of-Home. 

The agency and its other partners can continue doing what they do best. 

The Agency EXISTS TO EXECUTE

  • Websites Design, development and optimization
  • SEO Search strategy and content
  • Social Media Content, community and engagement
  • Google Ads Search, Performance Max and paid search

MarketStorm ADDS THE INTELLIGENCE LAYER

  • Behavioral Intelligence Identify emerging intent and opportunities
  • Audience Strategy Determine which audiences may matter
  • Programmatic Activation Reach audiences across channels
  • Measurement & Insights Understand the impact across the entire journey

We don’t compete with the marketing ecosystem around the client. We enhance it. 

You Capture Demand. We Help Influence What Happens Before It Is Captured.

Many agencies are exceptionally good at demand capture. Google captures the consumer who searches. SEO helps a client become discoverable when someone is looking for an answer. A website gives the consumer somewhere to learn, evaluate and convert. Social creates another environment for engagement and brand interaction. CRM and marketing automation help manage the relationship once a prospect enters the business ecosystem. MarketStorm works earlier in the journey. 

We operate in the Intent & Influence Layer, where consumers are beginning to develop needs, explore possibilities, encounter brands and form preferences. This is where the MarketStorm Intelligence Engine™ looks for behavioral signals that may indicate emerging intent and creates opportunities for brands to become relevant before the consumer reaches the point of explicit demand. 

That makes MarketStorm naturally complementary to the services an agency already provides. 

We aren’t trying to replace Google. We want the agency’s Google campaigns to have more consumers searching for the client’s brand. We aren’t trying to replace SEO. We want more relevant consumers to recognize and consider the brand when it appears in organic results. We aren’t trying to replace the website. We want more of the people arriving there to already have some familiarity with the company. We aren’t trying to replace social. We are adding another environment in which the consumer can encounter and develop a relationship with the brand.

Give Demand Capture
More to Work With

This changes the conversation about programmatic advertising. 
If every marketing channel is evaluated only by which one received the final click, the channels inevitably begin competing with one another for credit. Search wants credit for the conversion. Social wants credit. The website analytics platform records another source. The CRM identifies where the lead entered the system. But consumers don’t experience marketing that way. 

Someone may see a Connected TV advertisement, encounter Display advertising later, search for the company several days afterward, read reviews, return through Google, visit the website directly and eventually call. Every part of that journey can matter. 

MarketStorm does not need to own the final action. Our job is to help create the familiarity, consideration and preference that can make those later demand-capture interactions more productive. 

For an agency, that means MarketStorm can strengthen the channels already in the plan rather than competing against them. 

Add Audience Intelligence to the Agency’s Existing Strategy

MarketStorm has been using AI-driven audience technology since 2018. While much of advertising technology uses AI to optimize what happens after a campaign begins—bids, placements, creative or conversions—we use AI earlier to help determine who the audience should be in the first place. 

Our ProtoSignals™ methodology looks for early behavioral patterns that may indicate a consumer is beginning to move toward a relevant need, problem, interest or decision. Audience Intelligence helps us determine which of those signals may represent a meaningful opportunity. Human verification helps strengthen audience quality before Intent Retargeting allows us to continue the relationship across available media environments, in many cases that includes your social and other demand capture environments like Google’s Double Click. 

This gives agency partners a sophisticated audience capability without requiring them to build their own data science organization around it. The agency brings something equally important: its understanding of the client.

A More Intelligent Client Strategy Specialized audience intelligence working within the agency’s existing strategy.

You know the business strategy, the brand, the creative direction, the competitive situation, the search environment, the website strategy and the client’s larger marketing objectives. MarketStorm brings a specialized intelligence and programmatic capability that can fit inside that strategy. 

The combination is more valuable than
either operating in isolation. 

More Than Access to a DSP

Programmatic technology has become increasingly accessible. Agencies can obtain access to sophisticated platforms capable of buying CTV, Display, Native, Streaming Audio and other digital media. 

Access to the platform, however, is not the same thing as having an audience intelligence strategy. 

MarketStorm uses programmatic platforms as activation infrastructure. The MarketStorm Intelligence Engine™ sits above that infrastructure, using behavioral intelligence, AI and custom algorithms to help determine which consumers matter and how those audiences should be activated. 

For a white-label partner, this means you aren’t simply adding another media-buying vendor. You are adding the intelligence architecture and expertise behind the media buying.

  • AI
  • Custom Algorithms

Programmatic DSP

  • CTV
  • Display
  • Native
  • Streaming Audio
  • DOOH
  • Other Media

The ability to buy an impression isn’t the competitive advantage. Knowing which impressions are worth buying is. 

The Audience Comes First.
The Channel Comes Second.

This also means an agency doesn’t need to approach CTV, Display, Native, Streaming Audio and Digital Out-of-Home as five unrelated products. MarketStorm begins with the consumer

Once we identify relevant audiences, those audiences can move across available media environments as the strategy requires. A consumer might first encounter the client through Display, later see a Connected TV ad, hear Streaming Audio and eventually search for the company through Google. Another consumer may take an entirely different path. 

JourneyIQ™ is built around that reality. Consumers research, stop, return, compare, encounter different media, move between devices and eventually act when they are ready. 

We don’t force that journey into a predefined funnel, and we don’t require MarketStorm to be the last interaction. 

We follow the consumer.
We don’t force the consumer to follow the media.

Market Intelligence at
Local Resolution

For agencies working with national, regional, franchise and multi-location clients, MarketStorm can also extend that intelligence to the local-market level. A national strategy doesn’t mean consumers behave the same way everywhere. Competition, economics, weather, culture, seasonality and market maturity can all affect consumer behavior and the signals that indicate emerging intent. 

MarketStorm can maintain a larger strategic framework while allowing audience intelligence to adapt to individual markets. That is fundamentally different from simply drawing different geographic boundaries around the same audience. 

Geotargeting tells you where an advertisement can be delivered. Market intelligence at local resolution helps us understand why the opportunity inside that geography may be different. 

For an agency, this creates an opportunity to offer sophisticated local intelligence to larger multi-market clients without having to build separate audience systems for every location. 

White Label Should
Actually Mean White Label 

The client relationship belongs to the agency. MarketStorm’s role is to support it. 

We can operate behind the agency’s brand, working with the agency team to provide the intelligence, strategy, activation and reporting required for the programmatic portion of the larger marketing plan. 

We don’t need to introduce competing services. We don’t need to turn a programmatic engagement into an opportunity to sell the client a website, SEO, paid search or social media management. Those aren’t our businesses. 

That makes the boundaries of the relationship unusually clear. 

The agency can bring MarketStorm into an account without wondering whether the partner it introduced today will become the competitor it faces tomorrow. 

Your client remains your client.

Expand Capability Without Recreating the Infrastructure

Building a sophisticated programmatic capability internally involves much more than getting access to a buying platform. It requires audience strategy, platform expertise, data science, campaign management, measurement, reporting, technology integrations and continuous adaptation as the advertising ecosystem changes. 

MarketStorm has already built that capability. 

A white-label relationship allows the agency to add it without recreating the entire infrastructure internally. That can help an agency expand what it offers while keeping its own people focused on the areas where the organization already has deep expertise.

It is adding a specialized operating capability to the agency.

Measurement Should Strengthen the Client Story, Not Start an Attribution Fight

MarketStorm’s measurement philosophy is particularly well suited to agency partnerships because we don’t believe every marketing channel needs to fight for ownership of the conversion. 

The final action may happen through Google, organic search, direct traffic, the client’s website, a phone call, a CRM, a retailer or a physical location. Depending on the campaign and available technology, MarketStorm can examine media exposure alongside website behavior, branded search, direct traffic, conversions, CRM outcomes, brand lift, footfall and other meaningful signals. 

The objective isn’t to manufacture a story in which MarketStorm gets credit for everything that happened. It is to help the agency and the client understand what changed. 

Did branded search increase? Did direct traffic change? Did more consumers visit physical locations? Did brand consideration move? Did certain markets behave differently? Did the audiences exposed to advertising subsequently demonstrate meaningful behavior?

Those questions allow programmatic advertising to become part of the larger client story instead of another isolated reporting silo. 

The goal isn’t perfect attribution.
The goal is better intelligence. 

Your Client.
Your Expertise.
Our Intelligence.
