Most diligence partners understand the numbers; few understand the marketing engine behind them.
Markacy was built to bridge that gap — we are led by former PwC, BCG and KPMG experts with decades of combined experience advising Fortune 1000 acquirers and scaling brands.
We bring rigor and creativity to marketing diligence, helping investors uncover value creation opportunities that traditional commercial diligence often misses.
We lead with value-based pricing, which means we always aim to align pricing with clients budgets, desired scope, and results. We typically align on a fixed fee scope with a performance bonus tied to client outcomes. This helps ensure client scope is achieved, while having a strategic eye towards client financial objectives. For media management arrangements, we can price based on a percentage of spend where necessary.
In response to our client’s needs, we have built a proprietary analytics platform. This highly secure, cloud-baused data lake enables automated dashboard reporting, consolidated platform analytics, and the ability to look at customer acquisition and retention data in seconds. We use it to complement any existing tech stack to drive alignment for marketing channel performance and other core business metrics.
