What do you like best about CS2?

The CS2 team is both extremely knowledgable and flexible. At both startups, I've used them at they are the perfect combination of "get it done" for a last-minute changes but also helping guide long term strategy for growth. The team is always pleasant to work with and fast to respond. Christie has been my go-to for brushing up my skills after not being in Marketo for 1.5 years. Sincerely a live saver!

What problems is CS2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was tasked with completing our Marketo migration as well as multiple implementations in a quarter and truly wouldn't have been successful without CS2 leading the charge. We were at a bad place with reporting where we only look at the primary campaign source which wasn't giving us a holistic view. CS2 brought their expertise to help us define lead sources and make sure we were tracking through leads, contacts, and onto the opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extend Your Team with a Partner, not a Vendor"

5/5

Describe the project or task CS2 helped with:

We hired CS2 to help implement, manage and execute Marketo for our very small marketing organization, who had big big hopes and goals. We had a new VP of Marketing who had worked with CS2 in the past and wanted to use them again. They were organized, patient and had the right level of experience to steer us in the right direction in a timely manner. CS2 kept our expectations in check, along with our wants v needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CS2?

CS2 comes with a wealth of best practice knowledge, not just about the Marketo platform, but about our industry and practices. They will also research something if they don't know and find that we need to take a breath before trying to plow forward on a project and/or request. They are thorough - they keep a meaningful change tracker (this has proven to be invaluable) and provide plenty of communication about staff coverage, changes to their org that may effect us, thought leadership, etc. CS2 has great experience with other platforms in the marketing tech stack, and so also provided feedback as we began to evaluate other platforms for our growing needs.

They have never treated us as a customer, but always a trusted friend. CS2 cares not just about our work, but about our relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CS2?

I dislike that we broke up (it was us, not them). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CS2:

Sometimes we are embarrassed as marketers about the state of our house. The more we were honest with CS2, the more they could provide support. They've seen the good, the bad and the ugly, so going into an evaluation with them where you can be honest and open will provide you with the best results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CS2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Besides standing up our Marketo instance, CS2 supported our overall strategy and planning. They were a great sound board for when we got to in the weeds or couldn't see the bigger picture. They also helped us understand and set the right expectations for how we built things and always with a focus on results. They were absolutely a trusted and meaningful part of our team.
