What Marketbridge does

Marketbridge is a B2B growth company that combines management consulting and marketing services under a single-firm model, positioning itself as a unified go-to-market operating partner for enterprise organizations. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area with additional offices in Boston, Toronto, and London (European regional headquarters), the firm serves more than 150 enterprise clients across verticals including Technology, Healthcare, Financial Services, Industrial, Consumer, High Growth, and Science & Innovation. Its offering is organized around six integrated growth solutions (AI Growth Catalyst, Revenue Orchestration, Brand Amplification, Growth Intelligence, B2B Performance Measurement, and Creative & Content Acceleration) and five service categories (Strategy & Consulting, Measurement & Analytics, Brand/Creative & Content, Media & Activation, and PR & Influencers), with Intelisent operating as a wholly-owned direct mail analytics division.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services and consulting fees from custom enterprise engagements, complemented by proprietary AI-enabled platforms and an ABM-led growth engine.

Under CEO Bob Ray (appointed December 2025, succeeding John Shomaker) and with RTC Partners' backing as a platform investor since November 2023, Marketbridge has pursued geographic expansion via the April Six acquisition (January 2025) and European leadership appointments, while investing in AI-augmented GTM capabilities. The firm has been recognized as the #1 Brand Agency and #1 Demand Agency in the 2026 U.S. B2B Agency Benchmarking Report for the second consecutive year.
