Your marketing team just quit. Or maybe you never had one to begin with — just Sarah from sales who “handles the social media” between client calls and her lunch break.
Either way, you’re looking at an empty pipeline, campaigns that should’ve launched last quarter, and a hiring budget that barely covers one mid-level marketer. Who, let’s be honest, can’t do everything you truly need: strategy, paid ads, SEO, content, design, analytics, and whatever else gets added to the “marketing should handle this” pile.
You’re not alone in this mess. Almost two-thirds of marketers outsourced to an agency or third party in 2025, up from less than half who did the same in 2024. That’s a 37% jump in one year, driven by overstretched teams trying to deliver growth without the resources to pull it off.
Enter Marketing-as-a-Service. Think of it as your marketing department, minus the part where you spend three months interviewing candidates who all claim to be “growth hackers.” You get strategists who’ve seen your exact problems before, designers who don’t need a week to update a landing page, and analysts who speak in ROI instead of “engagement metrics.”
But here’s where companies blow it: they type “comprehensive marketing services” into Google, pick the agency with the shiniest website, then wonder why every campaign feels like a template with their logo swapped in. A real Marketing-as-a-Service partner isn’t interested in your “brand awareness goals.” It wants to know what moves your revenue needle — whether that’s qualified demos, enterprise contracts, or reducing your customer acquisition cost by 30%.
That’s the fundamental difference in Marketing-as-a-Service vs traditional marketing agencies — one optimizes for revenue, the other for retainer renewals.
The five Marketing-as-a-Service agencies on this list get something fundamental: more marketing doesn’t fix bad marketing. You need fewer, better moves. Strategy that connects to your P&L, execution that doesn’t require three rounds of revisions, and speed that matches how fast your market moves. Some specialize in startups burning through runway. Others untangle the vendor nightmare at enterprises. All of them deliver faster than you could hire your way out of this mess.
1. Ninja Promo
Ninja Promo operates as a full-service digital marketing agency built on a flexible subscription model. Instead of hiring individual specialists or coordinating multiple vendors, clients get access to an entire marketing team through one monthly fee.
Our subscription gives you a complete marketing department on demand. One flat rate unlocks 100+ specialists across every marketing discipline, with hours allocated flexibly based on your priorities. Need more resources for a product launch? Scale up instantly. Shifting focus from paid media to content? Redistribute hours without renegotiating contracts. The model adapts to your needs — whether you’re a small business testing your first campaigns or a large enterprise coordinating complex, multi-channel strategies.
This approach delivers the full cycle of marketing services without the overhead, hiring timelines, or management complexity of building in-house teams. You decide where effort goes each month, and we execute across channels as an integrated unit:
- HTX needed real deposits from their ad spend, not just traffic — we brought in $20 million over six months with a 16.8% conversion rate.
- For OVHcloud, we hit 300% ROAS while cutting CAC by 15% and lifting LTV by 25%.
- Recycleye got 500 SQLs monthly converting at 25%, with consistent 3.5x ROAS and 30% MRR growth month-over-month.
Our subscription model provides complete marketing teams focused on metrics that impact profitability: customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, monthly recurring revenue, and conversion rates.

2. O8
O8 runs marketing for companies tired of coordinating between their SEO consultant, paid media agency, web developer, and whoever’s supposed to be handling automation this quarter. It’s a Marketing-as-a-Service provider that integrates services instead of just claiming to.
You get fractional CMO direction plus execution. Its team includes SEO specialists, paid media buyers, developers, automation people. Scalable marketing billed monthly on subscription, by milestone for projects, or tiered if you want to expand. No long contracts forcing you to stay when things aren’t working.
O8 focuses on healthcare, SaaS, higher ed, and B2B tech — industries where marketing mistakes get expensive fast. Client retention runs high because people don’t renew when work disappoints. A healthcare client tripled conversions. A university switched platforms and kept their traffic (rare enough that it’s worth mentioning). You get weekly calls and dashboards showing what your spend produced.

3. InfoStride
Most Marketing-as-a-Service companies claim they “specialize” in SaaS while also working with restaurants, law firms, and anyone else who’ll pay them. InfoStride actually committed. It works exclusively with software companies — startups trying not to die, scaling businesses fixing their unit economics, enterprises managing sales cycles that span quarters. If you’re not selling subscriptions, InfoStride isn’t interested. That focus matters when you need outsourced marketing services from people who already know why your churn rate keeps you up at night.
It offers tiered packages built around where your SaaS business sits. Startups get targeted SEO, lead gen, and social media. Scaling companies add CRO, multi-channel paid ads, and automation. Enterprises get the full treatment — high-budget campaigns, predictive analytics, PR, dedicated account management. Pick your tier, or mix services if the packages don’t fit.
InfoStride focuses on SaaS metrics that matter: MRR, churn rate, CAC, LTV. Its team knows the difference between vanity numbers and unit economics. On-demand marketing through monthly subscriptions, project billing, or tiered pricing that scales with revenue.

4. Nexer
Nexer isn’t your typical boutique shop. It’s massive — think thousands of employees across nearly two dozen countries. Gothenburg headquarters. This Marketing-as-a-Service agency exists for companies dealing with the kind of marketing problems that involve CTOs, procurement departments, and legal teams who want to discuss data sovereignty before anyone launches a campaign.
It runs digital marketing campaigns across SEO, paid ads, content, design, and automation — all working together instead of separately billing you. When those services aren’t enough (and sometimes they’re not), it offers project add-ons like brand development, event coordination, accessibility audits, or actual full-stack developers — which comes in handy when your marketing needs involve real engineering instead of dragging widgets around in Webflow.
Nexer serves manufacturing, retail, energy, public sector, and tech. Major clients include Thule Group, Preem, and Regatta Group. Its partnership with Microsoft (Country Partner of the Year in Sweden and Brazil) proves technical depth most marketing service companies can’t match. Retainer-based with transparent pricing and flexibility to scale resources monthly.

5. CODESM
CODESM runs a Marketing-as-a-Service model where you subscribe monthly and get their whole crew. Need someone to fix your site’s conversion rate? They’ve got people. Running paid ads that aren’t bleeding budget? Covered. Email sequences that don’t get ignored? Yep. Their team handles the usual — SEO, social, content — plus things like video production and direct mail, which most digital-only shops dropped years ago but still works surprisingly well for certain full-service marketing solutions.
What sets it apart? Month-to-month agreements. No contracts locking you in while performance tanks. Cancel when you want, pause when budgets tighten, restart when you’re ready. Its proprietary GoCRM platform lets you track tasks, see how hours get spent, and manage feedback in real time — transparency that most agencies avoid because it exposes how much time goes to “strategizing” instead of executing.
CODESM offers tiered packages depending on how much marketing you need to outsource marketing. CMO package for businesses wanting complete managed marketing services. Higher tiers for companies needing more bandwidth. Healthcare, logistics, retail, tech — it works across sectors where leads matter more than impressions. Real people handling your campaigns, not templates with your logo swapped in.

Our Criteria for Selecting Marketing-as-a-Service Companies
We picked these agencies by looking at what you’d check yourself if you had time to vet a dozen agencies. Case studies matter — specifically ones showing revenue, conversion rates, or ROAS instead of vague “increased brand awareness” claims. We ignored any agency that couldn’t prove its work with numbers.
Service range counted too. Real Marketing-as-a-Service providers handle strategy and execution across channels, not just “consulting” where they hand you a deck and disappear. Pricing transparency separated serious agencies from the ones making you sit through a discovery call to learn their rates. We checked if contracts trap you for a year or let you adjust monthly.
Industry experience showed up differently for each agency. Some specialize in SaaS and speak that language fluently. Others work across sectors but bring depth in specific areas like healthcare or B2B tech. We matched agencies to the businesses they serve best rather than crowning one winner for everyone.
Client retention told us more than marketing copy. Companies don’t renew subscriptions for mediocre work. High retention means the benefits of Marketing-as-a-Service actually show up in results.
Looking for a Scalable Way to Manage All Your Marketing Efforts?
Here’s where you are: marketing is too much for one person to handle well, but building an entire team costs more than your current revenue justifies. Marketing-as-a-Service closes that gap. You get strategists, media buyers, designers, and developers for what you’d spend on maybe one decent marketer.
The five agencies here work differently. Some only take SaaS clients. Others handle enterprise campaigns across dozens of markets. Pricing ranges from a couple thousand monthly to enterprise packages. Contract terms vary — some lock you in, others let you cancel next month if things aren’t working.
Your choice depends on where you are right now. Startup burning through runway? Scaling business fixing unit economics? Enterprise untangling vendor relationships? Match the Marketing-as-a-Service company to your actual situation instead of picking whoever has the nicest website.
