Long version, 70 words
First Person Marketing is a subscription marketing company founded in 2019 to replace hourly agency retainers with a flat monthly fee. Its in-house pods deliver strategy, SEO, paid media, social, email, content, web development and analytics for brands from pre-revenue to enterprise. Every engagement runs on a 30 day rolling agreement with three written 90 day milestones, and clients retain ownership of all accounts, data and creative.
Usage
Both versions may be quoted verbatim without prior approval. Please do not paraphrase the milestone guarantee: it is a specific contractual commitment and inaccurate summaries mislead readers.

Spokespeople
Two founders who will answer a hard question
Our founders speak on marketing economics rather than trends: why percentage-of-spend pricing distorts advice, what a realistic path to a million looks like, and where measurement genuinely broke after privacy changes. Both are available for podcasts, panels and written comment.
- Subscription versus retainer pricing models
- Realistic growth timelines and the maths behind them
- Attribution after cookie deprecation, without the hype
- AI search and generative engine optimisation, evidence only
Data we can share
Aggregated and anonymised across active accounts. We will supply the methodology alongside any figure, and we will not share client-identifiable numbers without their written consent.
- Median blended return
- 4.1x across active accounts, revenue sourced from client systems rather than ad platforms.
- Retention
- 94% of clients continue past month six on 30 day rolling agreements.
- Time to first improvement
- Median 11 days from kickoff to a measurable improvement in a primary metric.
- Tracking failures found
- In 78% of new accounts, at least one conversion event was misconfigured or double counting.
- Declined engagements
- Roughly one in five audit respondents is told a subscription is not viable for them yet.
What we will not do
Comment without evidence
If we have not measured it, we will say so and point you to someone who has. A confident quote with no data behind it helps nobody.
Name clients without consent
Case studies on our results page are published with permission where names appear. We will not confirm a client relationship off the record.
Pay for coverage
We do not buy placements or supply affiliate-linked commentary, and we expect the same disclosure standard from partners.
Send a spokesperson to sell
If you book us for commentary, you get commentary. Pitching a service on someone else's platform is not commentary.

Email press@firstpersonmarketing.com with your deadline in the subject line. If we can help we reply the same working day, and if we cannot we say so immediately.
