"We chose F3 over larger firms because of their specific experience having run sales and marketing organizations throughout their careers. As operators who are now consulting, they are able to move faster and deliver more practical solutions than career consultants who have never actually run a business. I had a strategy, implementation plan, and was well into the actual implementation in the timeframe the larger firms would have taken to simply do an assessment."
DQE Communications"As a repeat founder CEO, I’ve learned a very important lesson. To really scale I need to surround myself with A-players who know their functions better than I ever will. F3 slotted in perfectly to ramp up Zoom Vision’s go-to-market efforts. In addition to the strategic assistance I expected, they also made crucial introductions and even handled all of our tactical branding, website and social media projects. Highly recommended."
ZoomVision"When I took the CEO role at Red Oak, one of my first calls was to F3. I have worked with Jamey Heinze and Layne Levine multiple times in my career. I know and respect both as exceptional leaders in sales and marketing, so it was an easy call to engage F3 to assess and rebuild the marketing engine at Red Oak. Over a 12-month period, the entire F3 team collectively exceeded my expectations. They guided us through a cohesive update of Red Oak’s voice, vision and vibe, including core values, core focus, new logo, and a complete website redesign. In parallel, and even more importantly, they dialed in our demand generation process, channels and tech, and set a high bar for new pipeline creation. Most recently, they led the communication effort around a significant acquisition, and program managed Red Oak’s annual user conference. F3’s approach is unique – immediately rolling up sleeves to deliver results, working in the business while also providing long-term strategic vision."
Red Oak"It’s difficult to remember all the things the F3 team delivered for Waterloo Data. It ran the gamut from a website refresh, a contact data strategy, martech vendor management, content creation and overall campaign planning and execution. They also provided recruiting support and introduced us to partners and clients. They offer a fantastic mix of strategy and tactical delivery."
Waterloo Data"We initially engaged Layne Levine for Fractional CRO support and then quickly pulled in Christina and Jamey for assistance with marketing and sales operations. Six months in, we've hired a permanent sales leader and fleshed out our sales team, created an operational TAM, solidified our Salesforce processes and updated all of our core go-to-market messaging. I highly recommend this team for strategy and execution support. For a smaller company, they provided the support I needed and messaging/content I could trust."
Lightspeed Networks"We hired Jamey Heinze as our Fractional CMO in January of 2022, and he worked with us for almost two years. He was crucial in building brand awareness and driving demand generation, resulting in a stronger focus on our market presence. Along the way he pulled in other resources from F3 to build out processes and support our in-house group with enablement and overflow support. I was very pleased with the revenue return we saw on our investment, and the groundwork continues to pay dividends."
HUVRdata"F3 Growth delivered a rare combination of strategic leadership and disciplined execution. Throughout our engagement, they played a pivotal role in reshaping Gigstreem’s go-to-market strategy across both sales and marketing, spanning brand positioning, website development, demand generation, martech optimization, process alignment, organizational design, and thought leadership.
Their team operated as seasoned, embedded growth leaders rather than external consultants. F3 established the right strategic foundation while maintaining the agility to step into critical tactical initiatives and drive them to completion. They understood the realities of scaling under pressure and consistently demonstrate a level of accountability and operational rigor that is uncommon in traditional advisory firms.
From the beginning, F3 worked as an extension of our internal team and a true value multiplier for Gigstreem. I recommend them without hesitation to organizations seeking pragmatic go-to-market leadership and measurable results."
Gigstreem"In my 34 years as the Director of the Peoria Humane Society, partnering with F3 has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
We’re a small nonprofit, so initially I was a bit unsure about engaging with a larger firm that focuses mostly on technology business accounts. But their team fit right in with us! They quickly stepped in and helped us modernize and strengthen our operations in ways we didn’t even realize were possible, and provided the support we needed to grow our organization’s support base. From improving donor outreach to helping us think more strategically about engagement and growth, F3 brought fresh ideas, and momentum in so many ways.
For example, F3 cleaned and organized years of data in a fraction of the time it would have taken our team internally, and the impact has been immediate. We now have the systems and skillset to communicate more effectively with our constituents and operate far more efficiently.
Because of F3, we are in a stronger position to fulfill our mission, and I’m incredibly grateful for their partnership and the lasting impact they’ve made on our organization. I would highly recommend the F3 team to other non-profits and small businesses who need the expertise of a talented group of marketing professionals. We love the F3 Growth team, and hope to work with them on future projects!
