11. Market Analysis
• Market
• There is a defined need for SMBs to react to pressure from consumers to provide
a consistent experience and access to content from any device.
• Key technology players, like Google, report rapid expansion and continue to
encourage involvement as a service provider through programs like Google
Partners (for agency support) and tools like AdWords (for online advertising).
• Google not a competitor. They make money from ad spend & they help agencies get new
business by providing training, insights, and marketing support.
• Competitors
• Large Competitors
• Focus on winning and maintaining bigger clients, not as interested in SMB market
• Small Competitors
• The most closely related agencies focus primarily on branding & creative. Many lack
engineering competencies associated with emerging technology (APIs, applications,
integrations, cloud services, etc)
• Position
• Few comparable competitors
• Currently underfunded in this space
