Who owns this site, and why it matters

Ownership

Industrial Marketing Guide is owned and operated by Rise and Rank.

Commercial interest

Rise and Rank provides marketing services. It therefore has a commercial interest in the subjects covered here and in the market for marketing agencies that serve manufacturers. That interest may influence which topics we choose, how we frame them, and which calls to action appear on the site.

Rise and Rank in the directory

Rise and Rank is listed in the agency directory. Wherever it appears in a listing, comparison, or profile, it is labeled as the owner of this site. Treat that entry as the publisher’s own entry, not as an independent recommendation. Links from this site to Rise and Rank’s website may carry campaign tracking parameters.

How to use this site with that in mind

Consider this relationship when you use the directory, the agency profiles, and the guides. Agency statements, case studies, and outcome claims are attributed to their sources, and a claim stays the agency’s claim unless another source supports it. An agency’s inclusion is not a guarantee of performance, and an agency’s absence is not a quality judgment. Our methodology describes how agencies are selected and sourced, and it states that the directory is alphabetical, unpaid, and unscored.

Before you hire any agency, assess its suitability yourself. Ask about the team that would do the work, the scope, references from similar companies, and commercial terms.

What this page does not do

This page explains who owns the site and what interests that creates. It does not remove bias, and it is not a legal waiver. It does not replace your own judgment.
