Compare · Swivel vs. a marketing agency

An agency runs the channel. You still own the funnel.

A marketing agency runs the campaigns you hire it for and reports on them. The message, the follow-up on every lead, sales enablement and the line from a click to revenue stay with you. RevOS™ covers all four pillars, with one team accountable for pipeline.

A marketing agency covers one pillar fully and one in part. RevOS™ covers all four.

A fair question

When an agency is the better choice

  • You already have a sharp message, strong follow-up and a scoreboard.
  • You need one channel run well, and the rest of the funnel works.
  • You want a single project, like a website or a launch campaign.
Not another agency relationship

No status calls about activity.
No monthly slide deck.

About an hour a week, and one workspace with your results, agenda and everything that needs you.

What you might be thinking

Most of our clients have, so we don’t ask you to take it on faith. You get a personalized plan and a 12-month projection before you commit. The system is live in test mode in about two weeks, each channel proves itself before it sends, and you see milestones inside the first 90 days. A live report shows held meetings and pipeline any time, and we’re measured on held meetings, not activity.
