GROWING REVENUE FOR DIGITAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES
WHAT WE DO
Driving success in digital is more difficult than ever. New entrants face the relentless "Lumascape Challenge." Companies need to break through, showing quick adoption in a competitive and complex environment.
C.R.O. Partners speeds revenue traction for digital companies. Our clients capture first or early mover advantage, are able raise their next round more quickly and are better positioned to build their internal sales and operational teams.
C.R.O. has deep experience in digital and an exceptional network. We develop the message, identify the best prospects and go into the marketplace to close business. C.R.O. is evaluated on having produced measurable results.
We have a proven track record and have helped launch visible digital companies, including Tremor, StrikeAd, Grapeshot and StickyAds. We have credibility in the marketplace; senior decision makers trust us and want to see the companies we are working with.
Our approach makes it easy for clients to get started. We understand the issues early stage companies face; our partnerships with them are flexible and success-driven.
