Recognized Industry Pioneers Team up to Solve Marketers’ and Agencies Analytics, Attribution and Cross-Budget Optimization Disarray.


(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) — Michael McMahon and Bruce Carlisle, founders of two the earliest digital agencies in the United States, have joined forces to offer marketing analytics consulting services to marketers and advertising agencies.  ROI Factory is launching with a new focus and new team including the original founders of Left Field and SF Interactive.

“The time has come for an agency founded by marketing analytics veterans to help both brands and agencies evolve their analytics practice, marketing analytics 2.0, if you will”, said McMahon, “Most marketers understand the need for data to inform decisions across the marketing mix, but they struggle to understand what’s possible and to make it actionable. We use technology and data to create reports and dashboards that rapidly inform the marketing team about what’s working and what may need to be revamped.”

“Many marketers and most agencies are concerned that the rise of data-driven marketing is pushing away the creativity that originally drove this business.”  Carlisle said, “At ROI Factory, we disagree. We believe analytics, attribution and optimization can re-energize the creative product and help to justify spending media dollars on building brands and directly supporting sales.  Our mission is to help marketers and agencies whether we tell them how to deploy the most effective technology or if we take on the execution and insight discovery for them.”

  • Analytics Audits:   Technology assessment, implementation and processes
  • General Analytics Strategy & Insight:  Custom solutions developed by broadly experienced professionals
