01 The problem

Advertising off course?

You arrive at your key sales month scrambling for leads, unsure you can hit your goal.

Leads aren't qualified. Ad dollars are silently wasted.

Budgets grow and shrink, and the sales number doesn't change.

Data gaps between sales and marketing make it hard to trace what's going wrong.

Before long, another sales cycle is wasted.

When you can't confidently trace your advertising program to clear business outcomes, it's easy to feel lost.

You need a compass to get back on track.

02 Methodology

WAYFINDER is our advertising methodology built from the ground up for high-ticket lead gen. It aligns your marketing, sales, and finance goals so every ad dollar maps to the P&L. The result is a clear roadmap for growing the bottom line, built on decision-grade data.

How it works

Three pillars that connect the P&L to the ad platform.

Financial Forecasting

We start with your sales goals and the long-term trends of the business to understand the impact of ad spend on the P&L, and what it will take to hit your targets.

True North KPIs

With high-ticket lead gen, there's often a long lag between when ads run and when a sale closes. That makes it hard to know if you're on track. We find the leading indicators that predict where sales will go. These are your True North KPIs.

Lead Economics

We optimize your ad program toward those True North KPIs. We use your data to understand the value of every lead we buy, and ad measurement techniques to understand what each one costs. Every dollar earns its keep.

03 Why Data Raven

Built from the inside

I'm Casey Stump, founder of Data Raven. I was an executive at Viewrail, a national building products manufacturer, overseeing advertising and revenue operations as the company grew from $10M to over $100M in annual sales. Through that experience, I learned how to drive alignment between finance, sales, and marketing in order to realize consistent revenue growth.

Now with Data Raven, we're using the playbook I developed as an in-house executive to help high-ticket lead gen companies build data-driven advertising engines that unlock reliable, profitable growth.

We bring a combination of expert-level execution and executive-level insight. That lets us look past marketing vanity metrics and build strategies that power bottom-line growth for our clients.

04 Testimonials

From clients

Caleb Morris

CEO, Viewrail

The advertising budget is our largest below-the-line expense. Data Raven gives us confidence that it's profitable, and the clarity to know exactly what we need to spend to hit our sales goals. They're a true strategic partner, not just an agency running ads.

Tim Ritter

Digital Marketing & Communications Manager, Colson Group Former Director of Marketing, ABI Attachments

Most agencies hide behind a black box and vanity metrics. Data Raven did the opposite. They educated us on the advertising strategy, performance, and actual business impact. That kind of transparency has made them a trusted partner I've brought with me to two companies: ABI Attachments and now Colson Group.

Data Raven is as an absolute pleasure to work with! Their ad strategies align our business goals and product categories with digital advertising best practices. As a result, we have seen an increase in our key performance indicators, with some tripling since we began working with them. They go beyond simply analyzing the numbers. They actively collaborate with us, bring new ideas to the table, and have truly become a part of our team.
