Key Takeaways

  • Choose Hey Digital if you want a performance marketing agency built exclusively for B2B SaaS, with paid media as the growth engine and pipeline and revenue as the measures that count. We connect paid search, paid social, creative, landing pages, experimentation, and attribution rather than running each channel in its own little universe.

  • Choose NoGood if you want a broader, AI-forward growth squad built around high-velocity experimentation. Its scope reaches beyond paid into answer engine optimization, search engine optimization, organic social, lifecycle, conversion rate optimization, analytics, and performance creative.

  • Choose Gripped if you’re a UK or European SaaS or tech company that wants paid media, search, generative engine optimization, content, and web working inside one demand generation program.

  • Choose GrowthHit if conversion is the bottleneck. Its growth model leans heavily into experimentation, landing pages, conversion rate optimization, analytics, and fixing the funnel before pushing harder on acquisition.

Choosing a B2B growth marketing agency is easy to overcomplicate. If you’re a B2B SaaS company and paid needs to fuel qualified pipeline, start with Hey Digital. For Toggl, we cut ad spend 52% while closed-won deal value increased 159%.

Other agencies below solve broader growth problems better. NoGood spans acquisition, organic, lifecycle, and AI search. Gripped combines demand generation with paid and organic channels. GrowthHit goes deeper on conversion. Pick the agency around the growth constraint you actually need removed.

1. Hey Digital: Best for B2B SaaS Paid Growth and Pipeline

Hey Digital is primarily a performance marketing agency that works only with B2B SaaS companies, running paid programs across seven channels, with in-house creative and landing pages, to drive pipeline and revenue.

We built our growth marketing approach around a fairly simple observation: adding more channels doesn’t fix a broken growth system. We audit the foundation first, work out where demand should be captured or created, then run paid media, creative, experimentation, and reporting as one connected program.

We’ve worked with 200+ B2B SaaS companies and managed more than $2.3M in monthly ad spend.

Hey Digital Key Services

Growth Strategy, Tracking, and Attribution

Scaling a bad setup just lets you waste money faster.

We start by auditing the active channels against what eventually happens in your customer relationship management (CRM) system. That means checking targeting, conversion events, attribution, account structure, and whether the campaigns are optimizing toward business outcomes that sales would recognize.

If Google says a campaign is winning while your CRM says those “conversions” never became opportunities, the platform doesn’t get the deciding vote.

From there, we build the channel architecture around your ideal customer profile (ICP), sales motion, funnel stage, and growth target. The aim is to give paid a clear line from spend to pipeline before asking for more budget.

Paid Search and Demand Capture

Paid search is where a lot of B2B SaaS teams start because the buyer is already looking.

Our Google Ads and Microsoft/Bing Ads work covers account structure, keyword strategy, competitor campaigns, bidding, copy, negative keywords, and landing pages.

We separate the demand you’re creating from the demand you’re capturing. Branded search can look fantastic in a dashboard while mostly collecting buyers who already knew you. Non-brand can look expensive while introducing genuinely new pipeline. You need both parts of the story before deciding which campaign deserves another dollar.

Paid Social and Demand Creation

LinkedIn is usually the obvious channel when you know exactly which job titles and accounts buy the product. It’s also an easy place to burn budget if targeting, creative, and the offer aren’t working together.

We run LinkedIn Ads, including Thought Leader Ads, alongside Meta, Reddit, YouTube, and ChatGPT Ads where the buyer and funnel justify them.

The channels don’t get independent strategies just because their dashboards are different. We use the same ICP, positioning, sales context, and performance data across the mix so one channel can create familiarity while another captures the eventual intent.

Creative, Landing Pages, and Experimentation

Campaigns don’t keep growing because someone set them up neatly six months ago.

Our copywriters and designers work in-house, so new ads and landing pages can come directly from what the account is teaching us. We test message, angle, proof, offer, format, audience, and conversion path rather than treating creative refreshes as decoration.

For campaign-specific pages, we carry the same argument from the ad into the landing page. That becomes especially useful across demos, trials, competitor campaigns, webinars, and account-based programs where one generic product page usually asks the visitor to do too much interpretation.

If you want to see the kind of frameworks we use before handing us the account, our free B2B Ads Arsenal includes creative playbooks, angle libraries, templates, and channel cheat sheets.

Also, if your growth strategy and media buying are already covered but paid creative keeps getting stuck in the queue, Hey Design is our sister brand that’s a better fit. It provides on-demand marketing design for B2B SaaS growth teams, covering ad creatives and variations, landing pages, launch assets, email and social creative, ebooks, reports, sales decks, and one-pagers.

Most ad creatives are delivered within 48 hours. The subscription includes a dedicated project manager and one active request at a time, while custom engagements are available for higher-volume teams. Product and demo videos, and website design and build are available as scoped projects.

Hey Digital Proven Industry Results

We’re vertical-agnostic inside B2B SaaS, with deeper experience across AI SaaS, FinTech, MarTech, developer tools, analytics, productivity, collaboration, HR tech, and sales software.

The stronger fit signal is usually the economics and buying motion. You need product-market fit, an identifiable economic buyer, a sales process that can act on demand, and enough customer value for paid acquisition to make commercial sense.

Hey Digital Pricing

We don’t publish package pricing because a single-channel engagement and a coordinated multi-channel growth program are different pieces of work.

We’d be wary of choosing a growth marketing agency by management fee alone. Saving on agency fees while wasting media spend isn’t a bargain.

Where Hey Digital Shines

  • We only work with B2B SaaS: After working with 200+ B2B SaaS companies, we don’t need to learn from scratch why a product-qualified lead is different from a marketing-qualified lead, or why a six-month sales cycle can make last-click reporting look ridiculous.

  • Every paid channel feeds the same growth system: Search, social, creative, landing pages, and attribution share the same ICP and commercial goal rather than becoming separate agency workstreams.

  • A senior strategist stays close to the account: You’re paying for somebody to challenge the plan, decide where the next test belongs, and tell you when a channel isn’t earning more budget.

  • Creative is built in, not bolted on: Our writers and designers see the same account data as the strategists, which shortens the distance between “performance is slipping” and “here’s the next thing we’re testing.”

  • The proof includes efficiency and growth moving together: Across 15 of our 20 published case studies, cost per outcome fell while volume increased during the same engagement.

Where Hey Digital Falls Short

  • We’re a poor fit before product-market fit: Paid can tell you what happened. It’s a much worse tool for discovering who the customer is in the first place.

  • We’re deliberately narrower than a full-service growth agency: If you want SEO, a large organic content engine, lifecycle marketing, HubSpot implementation, and outsourced marketing leadership under one roof, several agencies below offer a broader remit.

Hey Digital Customer Reviews

Toggl approached us after paid had become difficult to justify internally. We tightened targeting, rebuilt the account around better-qualified audiences, and connected paid performance more closely to downstream sales outcomes. Ad spend fell 52% while closed-won deal value increased 159%.

“I was able to send the year-over-year data to our CRO, and his response was clear: paid is obviously a channel that works for us. When it’s done right, it works,” says Elizabeth Thorn, Head of Marketing at Toggl

CXL had already used Google Ads successfully, but growth had stalled and acquisition costs were rising. After restructuring and optimizing the account, purchases increased 131% while cost per purchase fell 54%.

“Hey Digital’s work has driven an incredible increase in conversions over the past month and started running campaigns at a lower spend. They're upfront and very proactive, which allows processes to move quickly. In record time, they take a plan from ideation to implementation,” explains Alex Atkins, former Head of Growth at CXL

Hey Digital also currently holds a 4.6/5 rating on Clutch.

“Working with Hey Digital has been excellent. Hey Digital was transparent and focused on growing our performance and understanding of the account. The team always made a successful effort to truly understand our product and market.” - Arnaud Fournier, Senior Growth Marketing Manager at Checkly

“They were very responsive when we had requests for new strategy and ways of working together.” - Alexandra Hillyard, Growth Manager at Playroll

Who Hey Digital Is Best For

  • A Series A/B B2B SaaS marketing leader who needs paid to become defensible: You have product-market fit and budget, but leadership still sees spend more clearly than it sees pipeline.

  • A team hitting the ceiling with an existing paid program: Google or LinkedIn works at the current level, but cost rises faster than pipeline whenever you try to scale.

  • A company replacing a generalist agency: Reports are full of clicks and leads, while sales keeps asking where the qualified opportunities went.

  • A lean team that can’t build separate media, creative, and attribution functions: You need one senior-led team to connect the pieces and keep experiments moving.

If that sounds familiar, book a call with us. We’ll look at what you’re running, where the growth constraint is likely sitting, and whether we’re actually the right team to fix it.

2. NoGood: Best for High-Velocity Experimentation and AI-Forward Growth

NoGood is a broader growth marketing agency built around multidisciplinary “growth squads.” Rather than centering the engagement on one acquisition channel, it combines strategists, creatives, engineers, and data specialists around acquisition, retention, organic growth, AI search visibility, and experimentation.

Key Services

  • Paid growth and performance creative: Paid search and social across platforms including Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and emerging AI surfaces, with static, motion, and user-generated content-style creative.

  • AEO, SEO, and content: Answer engine optimization (AEO), search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, digital public relations, and work designed to improve visibility across both traditional and AI-driven search.

  • Organic social and lifecycle: Organic social, creator partnerships, community building, lifecycle campaigns, segmentation, and automated customer journeys.

  • Analytics, CRO, and growth engineering: Conversion rate optimization (CRO), attribution, measurement architecture, experimentation, and product-aware growth work.

Pricing

NoGood structures engagements as custom monthly retainers.

Engagement

Pricing

Growth squad/monthly retainer

Custom; average retainer is above $20,000/month

That premium makes more sense when you’ll actually use the squad model across several growth disciplines. It’s harder to justify if your brief is more of a “fix our paid spend for growth.”

Where NoGood Shines

  • Its experimentation model reaches across the funnel: Acquisition, retention, organic growth, creative, and product signals can all become test variables rather than being handed to separate specialists.

  • AI search is part of the operating model: NoGood has built answer engine optimization and AI visibility into the service stack rather than adding “GEO” to a capabilities page and calling it a day.

  • The team can support a wider growth mandate: SaaS clients can use the same partner for paid growth, organic search, social, lifecycle, conversion, and analytics.

Where NoGood Falls Short

  • It isn’t B2B SaaS-only: NoGood also works across healthcare, fintech, consumer/e-commerce, and AI brands. If you want every account lesson to come specifically from B2B SaaS, Hey Digital is the narrower specialist.

  • The broader squad comes at a premium: The model makes more sense when several growth functions need support. A focused paid-acquisition problem may not need the full bench.

Customer Reviews

“Their growth marketing initiatives around paid media, specifically understanding new platforms and knowing the latest trends to capitalize on, have been really impressive.” - Laura Vestal, VP of Marketing at Invisibly

“It's always appreciated to have reached a steady operational cadence quicker.” - Julian Ng, Director of Revenue Operations at Goodie AI

Who NoGood Is Best For

  • Growth-stage companies with several connected bottlenecks: Paid acquisition, organic visibility, retention, creative, and conversion all need attention at the same time.

  • Teams actively investing in AI search visibility: You want answer engine optimization and traditional acquisition working inside the same growth program.

3. Gripped: Best for UK and European B2B SaaS Demand Generation

Gripped is a London-based B2B marketing agency focused exclusively on SaaS, AI, and technology companies. It sits closer to a full demand generation partner than a pure performance agency, combining paid acquisition with search, generative engine optimization, account-based marketing, content, websites, and go-to-market strategy.

Key Services

  • Demand generation and GTM strategy: Ideal customer profile definition, buyer journeys, positioning, messaging, channel planning, and multi-channel demand generation.

  • Paid media and ABM: Google Ads, Microsoft/Bing Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta where relevant, and account-based marketing (ABM) programs for named target accounts.

  • SEO and GEO: Technical and on-page search engine optimization, content strategy, link building, and generative engine optimization (GEO) for visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI search experiences.

  • Website, content, and conversion: B2B website design and development, landing pages, content, creative, conversion rate optimization, and marketing operations support.

Pricing

Gripped is transparent about its engagement models. Paid media spend sits outside the retainer, and major website projects are generally scoped separately.

Plan

Starting Price

Best Fit

Advisory or Execution

From £3,500/month + project fees

Performance

From £7,500/month

One or two channels such as paid media, SEO, or content

Scale

From £15,000/month

Full demand generation across paid, content, SEO, conversion, and marketing operations

Where Gripped Shines

  • It understands the wider SaaS demand engine: Paid media can sit alongside SEO, GEO, account-based marketing, content, and the website instead of being expected to create every stage of demand on its own.

  • Pricing and engagement models are crystal clear: A buyer can see where advisory support ends and outsourced demand generation begins before entering the sales process.

  • The agency is B2B SaaS and tech-specific: Gripped has worked with 160+ SaaS, AI, and tech companies and structures reporting around pipeline, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, and opportunity value rather than traffic alone.

Where Gripped Falls Short

  • Its broader model overlaps more functions: If the problem is specifically paid acquisition, creative testing, and pipeline attribution, you may be buying SEO, GEO, content, or web expertise you don’t need.

  • The geographic fit is strongest in the UK and Europe: US SaaS companies can work with Gripped, but a buyer prioritizing closer US-market operating context may prefer another option.

Customer Reviews

“There are lots of agencies out there, but the team at Gripped knows their stuff, are proactive and provide great reporting giving you confidence on what's happened and future plans.” - Tom Ridges, CEO at Herdify

“We would have benefited from even earlier clarity on campaigns or experiments that weren’t delivering, along with stronger recommendations to pause, pivot, or change direction sooner.” - Rob Lowry, Digital Marketing Manager at an IT Services Company

Who Gripped Is Best For

  • UK and European Series A/B SaaS and tech companies: You have product-market fit and need to turn scattered marketing activity into a more deliberate demand engine.

  • Teams combining paid and organic growth: Search, AI visibility, content, paid media, account-based marketing, and web all need to support the same pipeline target.

  • Marketing leaders who want flexible scope: You may start with specialist execution and expand toward a broader outsourced demand generation program as the need grows.

4. GrowthHit: Best for Conversion-Led Growth Experimentation

GrowthHit is a full-funnel growth agency for companies that already have demand but aren’t getting enough revenue from it. Its model is built around finding the constraint first, then using conversion rate optimization, paid acquisition, retention, search, and experimentation to remove it.

Key Services

  • Conversion rate optimization: A/B testing, landing pages, customer research, heatmaps, positioning, and funnel optimization across ecommerce, lead generation, and SaaS conversion journeys.

  • Paid acquisition: Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Ads, and LinkedIn Ads for B2B programs, supported by creative testing, landing-page alignment, and funnel optimization rather than media buying in isolation.

  • Retention marketing: Email and SMS automation designed to increase repeat purchases and customer lifetime value where retention is part of the business model.

  • SEO and AI search: Search engine optimization and generative engine optimization support sit alongside the acquisition and conversion work for teams that want organic growth in the same program.

Pricing

GrowthHit doesn’t publish standard agency retainers. Scope depends on which growth levers the team identifies during the diagnostic process.

Where GrowthHit Shines

  • It diagnoses before prescribing: The first month combines audits, customer research, heatmaps, session recordings, and execution, with the first experiment targeted for week three rather than spending a quarter producing a strategy deck.

  • Experimentation is central to the model: GrowthHit currently reports a 38% experiment win rate and claims roughly one in three tests lifts revenue by more than 10%.

  • The team looks beyond acquisition: If the real constraint sits on the website, in the offer, or after the first conversion, GrowthHit can move the work there instead of continuing to buy more traffic.

  • Revenue accountability is explicit: Its current positioning centers on paying for itself through stronger conversion, acquisition economics, and retention rather than reporting activity as the result.

Where GrowthHit Falls Short

  • It isn’t a B2B SaaS specialist: GrowthHit works across B2B, SaaS, ecommerce, beauty, wellness, apparel, and other performance-driven categories. Hey Digital has the narrower fit if you specifically want B2B SaaS paid expertise.

  • Its CRO-heavy model works best when there’s already something meaningful to optimize: If your primary problem is building a B2B SaaS paid acquisition motion from the channel level up, another agency may sit closer to the immediate job.

Customer Reviews

"They showed excellent project management and quickly responded to my needs, but the delivery lagged occasionally." - Kevin Heintzman, Owner at Skooterama

“Testing use case can be improved” - Sandip Kute, Business Development Manager, eLuminous Technologies Pvt Ltd

Who GrowthHit Is Best For

  • Companies with traffic but weak conversion: Acquisition is working well enough to expose leaks further down the funnel.

  • Teams that want an experimentation engine: You need customer research, testing, paid media, and conversion work prioritized around the biggest revenue constraint.

5. SAGE Marketing: Best for Fractional CMO-Led B2B Tech Growth

SAGE Marketing is built for B2B technology companies that need senior marketing leadership and the team to execute behind it. Its CMO-as-a-Service model pairs an external marketing leader with specialists across growth, HubSpot, brand, content, social, events, and sales enablement.

Key Services

  • CMO as a Service: Fractional leadership across strategy, positioning, go-to-market planning, budgets, key performance indicators, vendor management, and alignment with sales, product, and leadership.

  • Growth marketing: Data-driven programs spanning content, SEO, GEO, automation, webinars, public relations, and distribution.

  • HubSpot management: CRM audits, implementation, automation, reporting, data structure, and optimization for marketing and sales teams using HubSpot as their operating system.

  • Brand and go-to-market execution: Messaging, storytelling, social media, lead generation, events, sales collateral, landing pages, and the other work needed to take a B2B technology strategy into market.

Pricing

SAGE doesn’t publish standard pricing for its CMO-as-a-Service or broader full-stack growth engagements, although its HubSpot & RevOps Expert as a Service has a public starting price.

From $2,000/month for up to 15 hours; scales based on needs, hours, and complexity

SAGE can operate much closer to an external marketing department than a channel agency, so establish which functions the team is actually expected to own before comparing retainers.

Where SAGE Marketing Shines

  • Senior leadership comes with execution capacity: The CMO isn’t there to hand you a plan and disappear. The wider team can carry the strategy into campaigns, content, systems, brand, events, and sales enablement.

  • It’s built around technical B2B companies: SAGE works across SaaS, cybersecurity, fintech, AI, deeptech, medical technology, and other categories where positioning and longer sales cycles tend to complicate the marketing job.

  • Sales, marketing, and systems can move together: HubSpot, attribution, messaging, demand generation, and sales materials can sit under the same strategic owner rather than being coordinated across several vendors.

Where SAGE Marketing Falls Short

  • It’s broader than a B2B SaaS growth specialist: SaaS sits inside a wider B2B technology portfolio. If the mandate is specifically paid acquisition for a SaaS sales motion, Hey Digital has the narrower category focus.

  • The model can be heavier than a channel problem requires: Bringing in external CMO leadership makes sense when strategy and execution both need ownership. It’s more infrastructure than you need if the existing marketing leadership is strong and one acquisition function needs fixing.

Customer Reviews

“What stood out most was how SAGE Marketing - Israel combined deep strategic thinking with hands-on execution.” - Betty Kiu, Founder at SkinSupp Co.

“A slightly faster turnaround on some of the early drafts could have helped us iterate more quickly. A bit more hands-on support during initial campaign planning might have also made the implementation phase even smoother.” - Verified Clutch reviewer, Co-founder at a cybersecurity software firm

Who SAGE Marketing Is Best For

  • B2B technology companies without senior marketing leadership: You need somebody to own the decisions while specialists execute them.

  • Founder-led or lean teams with fragmented marketing: Strategy, HubSpot, brand, content, demand generation, and sales support need one operating rhythm.

6. Kalungi: Best for Outsourcing the Full B2B SaaS Marketing Function

Kalungi is the option for a SaaS leadership team that wants to hand over far more than a channel. Its Full Service engagement combines an Associate CMO with a 10+ person execution team across positioning, content, paid demand generation, account-based marketing, search engine optimization, conversion optimization, RevOps, lifecycle, web, automation, and reporting.

The current offer is aimed primarily at post-product-market-fit SaaS companies around $5M-50M in annual recurring revenue that want one team accountable for the wider go-to-market engine. Kalungi says it has scaled 280+ SaaS companies and can layer performance-based pricing into full-service engagements.

That breadth is the attraction and the trade-off. It’s a strong fit when the CEO is still acting as de facto CMO or the company needs to replace several hires quickly. If you already have marketing leadership and specifically need paid media to generate more qualified pipeline, Hey Digital is the more focused engagement.

7. Lean Labs: Best for HubSpot and Website-Led B2B SaaS Growth

Lean Labs is strongest when the website and HubSpot sit at the center of the growth problem. The agency works with B2B startups and scaleups on lead-generation websites, answer engine optimization, HubSpot implementation, and ongoing growth programs designed to turn the site into a measurable pipeline asset.

Its pricing is fairly transparent. Websites start at $15,000, its on-site answer engine optimization launch program starts at $12,000, HubSpot onboarding starts at $2,000, and more complex migrations and integrations rise from there.

We’d shortlist Lean Labs when the site, messaging, CRM, and conversion infrastructure need rebuilding together. It’s less compelling when those foundations are already healthy and the immediate growth constraint sits inside paid search, paid social, creative testing, or media allocation.

What to Look for in a B2B Growth Marketing Agency

“Growth” is broad enough that two agencies can use the same label while selling completely different operating models. So before comparing decks, work out what the agency will actually own and how it decides where to focus.

1. Make Them Diagnose the Growth Constraint Before Selling the Channel

If every discovery call ends with the agency recommending the exact same service it happened to walk in selling, you haven’t learned much.

A growth partner should be able to explain whether the next constraint sits in demand capture, demand creation, conversion, creative, tracking, lead quality, or the sales handoff. Then it should show you the evidence behind that diagnosis.

Ask what the team would inspect first, what would make it cut spend, and what would make it move budget between channels. You’re testing judgment before execution.

That is also the logic behind our guide to building a performance marketing strategy: find the constraint, then choose the lever.

If paid is already running but you can’t tell what’s holding it back from working well, get a second opinion on the account.

2. Check Who Will Actually Make the Decisions

“Senior team” on a pitch deck can mean the senior people sell the account and somebody else learns your business after kickoff.

Ask who owns strategy week to week, who joins performance reviews, and how often that person changes. Then ask what authority they have. A strategist who needs your team to identify every test, approve every budget move, and diagnose every performance issue is closer to project management than growth leadership.

For a lean SaaS marketing team, proactive judgment is often the reason to hire an agency in the first place.

At Hey Digital, a senior strategist stays on the account because our B2B SaaS performance marketing work depends on somebody connecting the channel data to the wider sales motion.

3. Ask How the Agency Connects Marketing Activity to Pipeline

Clicks are easy to attribute. B2B revenue usually isn’t.

Long sales cycles, buying committees, branded search, self-reported attribution, and CRM handoffs all make the journey messier than an ad platform wants it to look. Your agency needs a credible way to connect marketing activity to qualified opportunities and closed-won revenue without pretending one attribution model can explain every touchpoint.

Ask what gets fed back from the CRM, which conversion events campaigns optimize toward, and how the agency handles channels that influence demand without winning the final click.

Our approach to revenue-focused marketing starts there. If the reporting can’t survive a conversation with leadership, it isn’t finished.

Trying to scale an account where customer acquisition cost rises every time spend does? Read our guide to scaling paid acquisition without breaking CAC.

Get a Second Opinion on Your Paid Growth Plan

If paid is already part of the growth plan but the numbers stop making sense once you look past the platform dashboard, bring us the account.

We’ll look at the channel mix, targeting, creative, conversion paths, and what actually reaches the CRM. Sometimes the answer is a different campaign structure. Sometimes the account needs better creative or cleaner tracking. And sometimes we’ll tell you paid isn’t the constraint you should fix first.

Book a call with Hey Digital and we’ll work out which one it is.

FAQs

1. Can a B2B growth marketing agency work with an in-house marketing team?

Yes. Many growth agencies fill specific capability gaps while your internal team keeps ownership of strategy, product marketing, brand, or other functions.

2. Does growth marketing always include SEO?

No. Some agencies combine paid, organic, lifecycle, and conversion work, while others specialize around a narrower set of measurable growth channels.

3. Should your growth marketing agency have access to CRM data?

Yes. Without downstream sales data, the agency can optimize marketing conversions while missing whether those conversions ever become qualified pipeline.

4. Can one agency handle both demand generation and demand capture?

Yes. The harder part is making sure the channels share one ideal customer profile, measurement model, and commercial goal instead of operating independently.

5. Is a full-service growth marketing agency always better than a specialist?

No. Full-service coverage helps when several functions need ownership. A specialist is usually cleaner when the constraint is already known and requires deeper expertise.
