About Pointmarc

Pointmarc was founded on the premise that every effort to advance business through marketing should be based upon targeted company goals and measured accordingly for effectiveness and success. Marketing is as much about data as it is about design, so shouldn’t marketing efforts include the ability to see if what you made look good is really working? Pointmarc believes so.

With that in mind, Pointmarc assists organizations in determining just how well their digital marketing efforts are working; by providing specialized consulting and operational support which leverages the marketing experience and expertise of senior consultants, project managers, data measurement & instrumentation specialists, solution architects, marketing/finance/business analysts and more…

Sometimes organizations just need a little help; in the form of expertise and scale. Pointmarc provides both! What makes Pointmarc well suited to perform these functions is simply the caliber of people it employs. The consulting team understands that business strategies often drive marketing decisions, but more than that, they understand work must get done tactically. They know this because many of them have been site managers, designers, analysts, architects, PM's, media buyers/managers, program directors and many were even once the client themselves!
