Less talk, more action. We embed, enable, and accelerate.

Because the only strategy that matters is the one propelling your business forward.

Our Services

Marketing Technology & AdTech Strategy

A tailored approach to designing your ideal MarTech and AdTech ecosystem aligned to your business goals, built on your existing infrastructure, and ready to support what’s next, including AI driven personalization, measurement, and automation.

Why It Matters?

Without a clear roadmap, you risk overinvesting in the wrong tools or underutilizing the right ones. We help you clarify priorities, reduce complexity, and accelerate transformation.

Why Transparent?

We have guided Fortune 500 organizations through some of the most complex stack overhauls, from legacy consolidation to composable architecture. Our team combines a dynamic mix of marketing, technology, and operational expertise, bringing both platform fluency and enterprise change management to ensure adoption, not just a slide deck.

Data Strategy & Governance

A practical, scalable framework for organizing, managing, and governing marketing, media, and customer data built to support personalization, AI, and other use cases in a compliant manner.

Why It Matters?

If your data is incomplete, not standardized, siloed, or poorly governed, every decision you make is compromised. We help brands establish a foundation of trust in their data essential for modern marketing.

Why Transparent?

We’ve built and operationalized data collection mechanisms, taxonomies, clean rooms, data warehouses, and governance / ownership frameworks across global brands. Our hybrid teams of strategists and technologists deliver both vision and real world implementation.

Measurement & Analytics Strategy

A custom measurement strategy grounded in your business needs connecting what you should measure to how and where to measure it across campaigns and platforms.

Why It Matters?

Brands are drowning in data but starving for insight. Without a clear strategy, reporting is fragmented and ROI is unclear. We align teams around a shared measurement approach that drives decisions.

Why Transparent?

Our team has built cross channel frameworks that seamlessly integrate with data models and data marts to power some of the most advanced Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and incrementality programs in the market. We speak business and analytics and help you get to outcomes faster.

Operating Models & Org Design

A fit for purpose model for how your marketing, analytics, and tech teams should work together including roles, responsibilities, and workflows to accelerate growth.

Why It Matters?

The tech is only as good as the people and processes behind it. Brands need to reimagine how they operate breaking silos and enabling agility.

Why Transparent?

We’ve helped leading brands unlock growth by reimagining how their teams work together. Whether building AI ready structures, redefining marketing and analytics collaboration, or designing workflows that cut complexity, our operating models deliver clarity and accountability. Most importantly, we embed change so new ways of working endure and fuel progress.

Transformation & Change Management

Comprehensive transformation planning with built in change management from stakeholder alignment to training and communication strategy.

Why It Matters?

Even the best designed solutions fail without adoption. Brands need to make change stick by supporting both the systems and the people.

Why Transparent?

We’ve led multi year transformation programs across global enterprises. Our structured, empathetic approach ensures your teams are equipped, aligned, and energized for change.

AI Opportunity Mapping & Readiness

A structured, cross functional approach to identify high impact use cases for AI across marketing, media, and analytics paired with an organizational readiness assessment to ensure your people, processes, and data are equipped to unlock real value.

Why It Matters?

Chasing AI without readiness leads to wasted investment; avoiding it altogether risks falling behind. Brands that establish the right foundations, clear use cases, equipped teams, and trusted data are the ones positioned to unlock safe, scalable, and strategic value.

Why Transparent?

Our team evaluates use cases for feasibility and value, defines enablement roadmaps, and helps structure the data, roles, and operational guardrails needed for success. From mvp to rollout, we bring the strategy to the real world, turning AI into impact.

Capability Selection, Delivery & Optimization

End to end support to help you select the right technology solutions, plan for smooth migration, configure platforms to your unique needs, and operationalize them across your organization.

Why It Matters?

Choosing the wrong tool can set you back years, and even the right tool fails without thoughtful implementation and adoption. We help you choose wisely, then ensure your investment is activated, integrated, and driving value from day one.

Why Transparent?

We’ve led dozens of successful technology selections and implementations across marketing, data, and analytics ecosystems. Our approach balances technical expertise, change management, and business alignment. From RFP through rollout, we deliver continuity and confidence bridging the strategy, configuration, and execution phases to ensure long term success.

Transparent came at the onset of our digital transformation right when we needed them. We were in the midst of radically altering our marketing strategy to deliver personalized experiences at scale and they offered unbiased, digestible technical solutions. We continue to lean into them to solve everything from uncovering platform efficiencies to robust operating models. I am grateful to them as we build and evolve the bridge between our technical infrastructure and marketing strategy functions.”

In the very early formative days of our Marketing Ops org at Zillow, TP helped identify/implement a Customer Data Platform. They brought an impressive balance of strategic design and evangelism throughout the enterprise, threaded all the way through expert executional support for a complex integration. In addition, they supported us developing an operating model and workflows to enable streamlined testing and faster iterations for our highly-matrixed Marketing org. Through it all, they always demonstrated a genuine desire to set us up for long-term sustainable success long after they were gone. Truly, Transparent Partners!

Transparent Partners unlocked the power of our data by defining and driving the enablement of our Enterprise Customer Data Strategy. They assessed our existing infrastructure and supported the implementation of new automated technologies, processes and practices that ultimately streamlined our ability to personalize customer experiences both on and off-platform. I am consistently impressed with their ability to quickly establish a rapport and drive consensus with various teams across our organization (i.e. marketing, engineering, data science, etc.). Transparent is a highly-effective change agent with the expertise to deliver technically complex solutions and implement the change management needed to gain enterprise-wide adoption. Our partnership these last three years has consistently produced efficient, value-driving results.

As a real estate company's data privacy leader, I was challenged to inform my teams/leadership with detailed tasks for how they can ensure adherence to privacy and compliance regulations. Fortunately, I could lean on Transparent Partners' master program management and communication strategy skills. I have appreciated their ability to dive in, create structure and help ensure the timely delivery of progress updates. Transparent has a unique way of taking complex requirements and leveling the information for different audiences. As well as driving projects forward, ensuring transparent communication along the way.
