What We Do

At Three Ships, we connect businesses with their customers.

We do this through a mix of math—rigorous analysis of search demand, audience characteristics, and usage trends—and message—creative engagement techniques, content development, and online promotion. There is no one-size fits all solution – we work with each client to understand the intricacies of their industry and their customer’s buying process to create an customized solution that drives results.

And unlike many agencies where “results” are ambiguously defined, at Three Ships we’re very clear on what we’re going after – driving leads and acquiring customers.

We use sophisticated lead tracking software and proprietary marketing mix models to drive value and tie our activities to your bottom line. And behind all of this is the real value – our people. We are a results-focused team that thrives on innovation and helping our clients succeed.

Our Expertise

We prefer to partner with clients that make transactional sales to high value customers, oftentimes in the form of a subscription or recurring revenue stream. In particular, we work across these industries:

  • Technology: The sale of SAAS products to small businesses and lead generation and nurturing for consultative sales
  • Telecommunications: The sale of transactional voice and data services to small businesses and consumers
  • Financial Services: The generation of leads for loans or deposits at regional banks, and partnerships with consumer finance companies that need to build or scale an online sales channel
  • Consumer Services: The sale of high value services, such as experiential events or home services
  • Small Business Products: The sale of high margin products, including software, to the 30+ million North American small businesses

Our Results

  • Decreased cost per lead more than 88% for a niche automotive network through media channel optimization and a community building strategy. Based on results, client reallocated more than 50% of marketing spend from traditional to digital media.
  • Analyzed and helped client uncover their actual cost per lead (CPL), then reduced CPL from $1,100 to $250 for a B2B services company while achieving a 3x increase in total lead volume.
  • Initiated a multi-channel campaign for a retailer to address cumulative 20% revenue decline across the trailing three years. In month two, Three Ships’ email program generated gross profit in excess of 6x Three Ships’ fees on a monthly run rate.
