Real numbers from real partnerships.

TargetRiver needed a delivery partner who could run an entire service stack under their brand — not just one channel — without their clients ever sensing a handoff. The risk wasn't capacity; it was continuity. Any visible seam in delivery would put long-tenured client relationships at risk.

YourCRO has run Google Ads, Meta Ads, analytics and dashboarding, SEO, social content and management, and web development for TargetRiver clients since 2023. Reporting cadence, communication style, and dashboard branding all stayed inside the TargetRiver system. Account managers on TR's side remained the single point of client contact throughout.

The partnership is now in its third year, with client churn tracking to TargetRiver's normal portfolio baseline — meaning the white-label transition introduced no detectable delivery risk.

DigitalTimes was running 17 client retainers across paid media, SEO, content, and web — but senior execution capacity was the bottleneck. Margins were compressing as the team scaled headcount to keep up with delivery, and the founder was pulled into client work instead of growth.

YourCRO took over execution across Google Ads, Meta Ads, analytics and dashboarding, SEO, social media content and management, and web development — running everything under the DigitalTimes brand. The internal team shifted to client strategy, account management, and new business, with YourCRO operating as the delivery engine behind the scenes.

Margins lifted roughly 50% across the outsourced retainers within the first two quarters, and senior team capacity freed up by close to 70% — enough to pursue new accounts without adding headcount.

A 45-client agency was carrying roughly $4,500 in fully-loaded delivery cost per client per month — a structure that worked at smaller scale but compressed margins as the roster grew. Adding clients meant adding AMs, and adding AMs meant the math got worse, not better.

The agency signed an LOI for a phased full-portfolio takeover at YourCRO's Scale tier. Phase one moved 8 clients onto YourCRO delivery as the proof window; the next quarter brings the remaining 37. Same service stack, same client-facing brand, same reporting.

Cost-per-client dropped from approximately $4,500 to $1,200 on the migrated accounts — a structural margin shift, not a one-off discount. The remaining roster is scheduled to migrate over the next quarter.
