About marive
A growth agency that publishes its prices.
marive is a full-service growth agency for B2B companies in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. We own marketing strategy end to end, then put the right specialist team on each part of the execution.
What we believe
Four things we do differently, and why.
None of these are unusual ideas. They are just uncommon in practice, because each one costs the agency something.
Published pricing
Every service on this site shows what it costs. Withholding price until a discovery call is a negotiating tactic, not a service.
Named accountability
One team owns the plan and the numbers. Not a channel, not a deliverable list, and not whoever answers the email.
Reporting you can argue with
Baselines are set in month one and never quietly moved. Losses are reported in the same detail as wins.
You own what we build
Systems in your accounts, strategy documented, assets under your name. If the engagement ends, the machine stays.
How we work
One strategy team, specialists around it.
A senior team owns the plan, the priorities and the numbers. Around it sit specialists in search, AI visibility, paid media, content, funnels, automation and analytics who execute against that single plan.
The alternative most companies live with is a set of vendors who each optimise their own metric while nobody is responsible for revenue. That arrangement is cheaper per line item and considerably more expensive overall.
Who we work with
B2B, four markets, long sales cycles.
We work with business-to-business companies selling into the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The common thread is a considered purchase: buying committees, months of research, and a decision that gets scrutinised internally before anyone signs.
That shapes everything we do. Long cycles reward content, nurture and visibility during the wait. They punish tactics built for impulse purchases, which is most of what the marketing industry sells.
Structure
How marive is put together.
marive operates as the client-facing brand and the strategic owner of every engagement. Specialist delivery is handled by teams within the wider group, which is why one agreement covers work that would normally require four separate vendors.
For you that means one contract, one point of accountability and one report, with specialists who do their discipline full time rather than generalists covering everything at once.
Being straight about it
We will tell you when to spend less.
Several service pages on this site argue against buying the larger package. The GEO page says schema alone is table stakes. The automation page says a leaner stack often beats the expensive platform. The Revenue Growth System page opens its fit section with a line saying it is not for most companies.
That is deliberate. An engagement that should not have been sold ends badly for both sides, and a reputation built on saying yes to everything is worth less than one built on a defensible no.
Getting started
Every engagement starts the same way.
Nobody should commit to a retainer with an agency they have not worked with, so we structured the entry point around that.
A fixed-price audit
Almost every service starts with one. It produces a written diagnosis and a roadmap, costs between $1,450 and $3,450, and you keep it whether or not you continue.
A plan you can argue with
Findings are walked through with you before anything is executed. Disagreements should surface while they are cheap.
Work against that plan
Execution begins only after the plan is agreed, and the plan is what the monthly reporting measures against.
What we do not do
Four things you will not find here.
Each of these is standard practice somewhere in the industry.
Guarantee rankings or leads
Nobody controls a search algorithm or a buying committee. Anyone offering guarantees is either targeting worthless terms or misrepresenting the work.
Own your accounts
Ad accounts, analytics, CRM and content sit in your name. Agencies that hold client accounts are creating switching costs, not earning retention.
Lock you into long contracts
Audits carry no minimum. Retainers run three months, or twelve for the full system, because the work genuinely needs that long. After that, month to month.
Bill a percentage of your ad spend
It rewards us when you spend more. We charge flat fees so a recommendation to cut a failing channel costs us nothing.
Services
Fifteen services, four jobs.
Strategy and leadership. Organic and AI visibility. Demand and conversion. Systems and measurement. Every service runs standalone or as part of a full engagement, and every one publishes its price.

Start with a conversation or an audit.
A strategy call is a working session, not a pitch. Bring your current numbers and you will leave with at least one specific thing to fix, whether or not we end up working together.
