Over 90% of B2B and B2C buying journeys now start online (Forrester, 2024), and they touch multiple channels before converting. A buyer might find you through a podcast, research you on LinkedIn, validate you with a Google search, see your retargeting ads, read three blog posts, sign up for your email, and finally book a demo a month later. If those channels aren’t coordinated, you’re paying multiple agencies to fight each other for credit on the same conversion.
Done right, integrated digital marketing does five things channel-by-channel marketing can’t:
- Covers the full funnel without gaps. Awareness through SEO and social. Consideration through content, email, and retargeting. Conversion through paid and CRO. Retention through email and lifecycle. Every stage covered, every handoff intentional.
- Builds returns instead of stacking costs. Integrated channels share data, audiences, and creative. The investment in one channel makes the next one cheaper to run. Channel-by-channel marketing stacks costs but rarely builds returns.
- Builds owned-channel equity. SEO, content, email, and your website are owned assets that keep paying off for years. Paid drives immediate revenue. The combination protects you from algorithm changes, ad cost spikes, and platform shifts.
- Captures every search experience. Traditional Google search, Google Maps, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, visibility everywhere buyers actually look. The agencies still running 2020 SEO playbooks aren’t ready for this.
- Eliminates the waste fragmentation creates. First-party data integration, attribution modeling, and cross-channel performance review kill the spend that isn’t working, and quickly. Most fragmented stacks waste 20–40% of budget on channels that look fine in isolation and underperform in context.
Results from Programs Built as Systems, Not Silos
We don’t measure success by channel-level dashboards. We measure it by revenue attributed to digital, qualified pipeline contribution, customer acquisition cost across the integrated program, and the year-over-year growth the system delivers. The numbers below come from real client engagements, named case studies are further down the page.
Why Choose THAT Agency for Colorado Springs Digital Marketing
Most agencies are channel specialists pretending to be full-service. The SEO shop bolted on a paid offering. The paid shop bolted on content. The content shop bolted on email. The website shop bolted on everything. Every channel gets junior execution because the agency’s actual expertise lives in one place. We’ve watched Colorado Springs businesses pay for “full-service” relationships where five of six channels were obviously second-tier.
Here’s our approach. THAT Agency has senior expertise across every channel, SEO, paid, content, social, email, web design, because we’ve built each discipline for over twenty years, not as an add-on to whatever we started with. Every engagement gets a documented strategy tied to revenue math, channels that actually talk to each other, and reporting that ties activity to outcomes your CFO can recognize.
Three things set us apart:
- We build integrated systems, not bundled silos. SEO data feeds content strategy. Content fuels paid landing pages. Paid audiences feed email and retargeting. Email reactivates dormant customers. Web design converts traffic from every other channel. The whole stack reinforces itself.
- We tie everything to revenue. Not impressions, not follower counts, not channel-level dashboards. Revenue attributed to digital, qualified pipeline, customer LTV. If a channel isn’t moving those numbers, we say so.
- We have senior expertise across every channel , not a strong channel and five bolted-on add-ons. Twenty-plus years of agency work across SEO, paid media, content, design, and AI search optimization.
The result: one accountable team, one integrated strategy, and a marketing system that keeps growing quarter after quarter instead of stacking costs without growing returns.
