CMO Advisory.
Marketing has changed. Bringing in leads is not enough. Today’s marketers are on the hook to deliver a measurable impact on sales acceleration. Initiatives like personalization, automation and reporting must be recast to support new outcomes and goals. At the same time, account based marketing (ABM) is essential, martech ubiquitous, and the pace of change breakneck. In order to be agile and accountable, marketers must have a solid foundation of processes and technology that enable collaboration with sales. That’s where Iron Horse comes in. We work closely with marketing and sales leaders to understand your business objectives. Then we provide systematic, prioritized, actionable recommendations to drive alignment and work together to achieve your organization’s growth goals.

Demand Generation
The customer is everywhere and your demand gen must be too. Being multichannel is not enough. Today’s B2B demand gen efforts are still largely unconnected—leading to a haphazard customer experience plagued by inconsistent messaging and no clear path to convert one-off experiences into long-term relationships. We use an integrated approach to create true omnichannel campaigns that engage customers throughout their journey—resulting in a cohesive experience that drives conversion, and fosters advocacy and growth for your brand.
Key demand gen services include:
- Audience segmentation & analysis
- Content analysis & strategy
- Market & competitive analysis
- Campaign planning
- Account-based marketing (ABM) strategy & optimization
- Partnership marketing
- Inbound & outbound (nurture) development
- Messaging & value prop
- Website design & optimization
- Webinars & virtual events
- Asset copy & design
- Analytics & reporting
Performance Media.
The average B2B customer requires more than a dozen touches before they engage. So how can you make sure your message stays front and center for your target audience long enough for them to engage? We help you cut through the digital noise. We take an agile optimization approach to create personalized engagement across channels and touchpoints to drive results.
Key performance media services include:
- Omnichannel media strategy
- Audience targeting & segmentation
- Account based marketing (ABM)
- Media planning & buys
- Paid social

- Influencer program development
- Copy & design
- Analytics & reporting
Digital Experiences.
B2B buyers engage with an average of 13 content pieces before making a decision. Interactive content, webinars, virtual & hybrid events, and other digital experiences are critical for capturing attention, differentiating your solution, and helping buyers make a decision. At the same time, screen fatigue is real, and unnecessary interactivity and over-long sessions hurt more than they help. Our content, creative and engineering teams work closely together to design and develop high-impact digital experiences that build trust with your target audience, advance the buying process, and turn customers into loyal advocates.
Key digital experience services include:
- Webinars
- Virtual & hybrid events
- Website and microsite
- Interactive content

And how can you get a full picture in real time when you are driving engagements across multiple platforms and channels?
We help you identify both the right metrics for your goals and the right data sources for those metrics.
