Marketing intelligence

Marketing that produces revenue, not leads — and you can see it a year out.

Every channel scored on the customers it produces and how they retain, expand and pay back — not the leads it counted. Put money in, quality pipeline comes out, and the whole company runs on one pipeline, one ICP, one forecast. It all starts here.

Every marketing tool stops at the click

Marketing hit its lead target. And sourced the cohort that churned by month 12.

Every tool you own scores a lead on the way in — then goes quiet the moment it converts. So the cheapest channel wins the dashboard while the customers it produced quietly leave.

The catchThat the cohort it credits never pays back what it cost.

Every marketing tool stops at the click.Beacon reads past it — to the revenue your marketing actually produces.
Every source, a decision

Every channel, ranked by the revenue it produces.

Not a lead report — a set of spend decisions. Scale, fix or cut, each next to the customers the source actually produces and what they're worth.

The forward read

On every source: what it produces, and whether it lasts.

The reads behind each call — the revenue a source produces, the fit of who it brings, and the cohort it's building right now.

Accountable to the plan

Did marketing hit the plan?

Not leads and clicks — the sourced ARR the company is counting on, whether it's on time, the payback it can afford, and whether sales can handle the pipeline it's about to get.

The lever

Turn up marketing, turn up pipeline.
