# Marathon Engine

> Marathon Engine is the full-service growth agency founded by the founders of Chubbies, a $100M+ brand, with a team of former brand operators. Experts in both brand and performance, powered by Marathon Data and senior operators.

## Positioning

Marathon Engine leads with the problem that direct-response-only growth has a shelf life: rising CAC, promo dependence, Facebook dependence, harder growth, harder profitability, and ROAS numbers that do not match actual business growth. The differentiated answer is a full-service agency founded by brand founders who have scaled from $0 to $100M+, with a team of former brand operators: expertise in both brand and performance; fractional-CMO strategic frameworks, measurement, and guidance; Marathon Data proof; and senior execution across full-funnel paid media, creative strategy, CRO and landing page funnels, retention, LTV, and forecasting and growth modeling. Prospects start by booking a fit call, which kicks off a free comprehensive growth audit: a founder-level read of the full P&L and contribution economics, a growth model and forecast, the ad accounts down to individual pieces of creative, the website and conversion path, measurement and incrementality blind spots, and retention/LTV — findings the brand keeps whether or not they engage. Prospects can also start by seeing their brand value.

## Ideal Customers

- Consumer brands with meaningful paid media spend
- Founders, CMOs, and VPs of Marketing who know the current growth model is not compounding
- Brands that want a low-friction Brand Value read before a sales process
- Brands that want to build brand demand without accepting a near-term performance drop
- Leadership teams that need help defending and operationalizing brand investment when short-term dashboards or board questions create pressure
- Omnichannel brands whose DTC conversion dashboard no longer explains retail, Amazon, wholesale, organic demand, or customer quality

## Key Capabilities

- Free comprehensive growth audit (P&L, ad accounts, creative, site, measurement, retention) as the first step of every engagement conversation

- Paid media and contribution-first budget allocation
- Brand advertising planned and measured as an incremental revenue driver
- Analysis and decisions owned by senior brand + performance operators
- Creative strategy and creative intelligence
- Web merchandising and CRO
- Retention and LTV strategy
- Cohort analytics and customer-quality measurement
- Marathon Data Measurement Platform and geo-incrementality validation
- Brand Value and branded demand measurement

## Proof Standard

Marathon Engine uses anonymous customer proof. Public proof points include validated incremental ROAS from long-term brand media tests, contribution-dollar growth without a short-term trough, and brand demand signals that compound after funnel expansion.
