Two words: not good. Maybe two more: not responsive.
Croud
📍 621 North Avenue NE Ste C-200Croud is an independent global agency that provides media, creative, and data services designed to unlock growth for brands through a philosophy they call 'Return on Intelligence.' Their service offering is structured across four main pillars: Audience, Creative, Media, and Commerce suites. Within the Audience Suite, the agency focuses on precision targeting using AI-scored models to identify high-value customers, proprietary segmentation to find competitive opportunities, and predictive intent modeling to anticipate conversion readiness. Their Creative Suite emphasizes performance engineering, utilizing AI-driven asset mapping for platform optimization, pre-launch message resonance scoring, and automated iteration to scale winning assets efficiently. In their Media Suite, Croud handles large-scale media buying, leveraging machine learning for daily spend optimization, cross-channel attribution modeling, and AI-driven media planning to deliver predictable growth. The Commerce Suite focuses on accelerating sales through funnel optimization, dynamic product feed management, and integrating marketplaces with media and product data to maximize margins. Croud differentiates itself through a unique operating model that combines their core global teams with 'CroudOS,' a proprietary technology platform, and the 'Croudie' network—an on-demand global pool of over 2,900 digital marketing specialists. This hybrid structure allows them to manage complex, multi-market campaigns across 118 different markets, providing scalability and agility. The agency serves global brands, as evidenced by case studies for clients such as IWG and MPB, where they have delivered measurable improvements in cost per enquiry, revenue growth, and ROAS. With a physical presence in locations including London, New York, Atlanta, Shrewsbury, and Dubai, they provide global reach supported by a local-market understanding. Their methodology emphasizes transparency, incrementality-focused measurement, and the use of their proprietary 'CI' (Croud Intelligence) products—BrandCI, CreativeCI, DarwinCI, and FeedCI—to drive strategic decision-making and client delivery.

I have been working with the Vert team for nearly 3 years now and have nothing but great things to say about everyone at the agency! Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also extremely passionate and dedicated to producing the best results for their clients. Over the years, we have been onboarding and running more and more programmatic campaigns for several large brands they work with. It has been incredible to grow alongside them and continue building our partnership!

We've been lucky enough to work with Vert back since their very first days. They have always been one of our key partners in digital solutions and have that rare quality of just being good people on top of it all.
