Sentry's Digital Marketing Manager service is a fully managed marketing team that runs your paid media and your owned email as one system rather than two, planned and measured against pipeline and ROAS instead of clicks.

The engine's front end: paid media and owned email running as one system. We plan, build and manage demand across every major channel, then convert and nurture it — accountable to pipeline and ROAS, never vanity clicks.

## What it does

Plans, builds and runs demand across paid media and owned email as one managed system — campaigns, creative, audiences and nurture, under a single team and a single dashboard.

## Where it creates value

The front of the revenue value stream: it fills the pipeline with qualified demand and feeds every downstream stage, so spend is measured as pipeline and revenue — never clicks.

## Why it cannot be ignored

Run channels in silos and you are paying to leak — budget with no owner, leads with no follow-up, and a number nobody can tie to revenue. A competitor with one accountable engine simply out-compounds you, month after month.

## What you get

- **Demand, end to end** — Generate and convert demand across paid and owned channels, then align the whole revenue system around it.
- **Accountable to pipeline** — One team, one dashboard, one number that matters — measured on revenue, not clicks.
- **Paid + owned as one** — Acquire with paid media, compound with owned email — feeding the same pipeline.
- **Conversion, not just traffic** — Performance-led conversion rate optimisation: the page arrives fast because of how it is built, so more of the demand you already pay for converts.

## Questions and answers

### How is this different from hiring a marketing manager?

A marketing manager is one salary and one skill set, and you still buy the media, the email platform and the analytics separately. Sentry's Digital Marketing Manager service supplies the whole function — planning, campaigns, creative, audiences and nurture — under one team, one dashboard and one number, with third-party tool costs for the services we manage included up to a fair-use cap; paid advertising spend is excluded.

### What does “accountable to pipeline” actually mean?

It means the reporting line is revenue, not activity. Sentry measures this service on pipeline created and return on ad spend, wired back to your data layer so each campaign is traceable to what it produced. Impressions, clicks and open rates are diagnostics used to improve the work; they are never presented as the result.

### Our paid ads and our email are run by different suppliers. Is that a problem?

It is the specific problem this service exists to fix. When channels run in silos you pay to leak: budget with no owner, leads with no follow-up, and a number nobody can tie to revenue. Sentry runs acquisition through paid media and compounding through owned email as one engine feeding a single pipeline.

### What does a managed digital marketing service cost?

Sentry's managed services start at £3,000 per month, scoped to the work, with third-party tool costs for the services we manage included up to a fair-use cap; paid advertising spend is excluded. Media spend sits outside that fee and stays yours. Managed services are priced as a percentage of your annual sales, and the percentage rises with the service level you choose — Protect, Enhance or Create. We confirm the figures in your quote.

### How does a managed marketing engagement start?

With a free Discovery session and a Financial Value Model. Discovery produces fourteen structured commercial outputs, including which constraints are actually holding demand back and what each is worth. Only then is a marketing plan built, so the spend is aimed at a constraint rather than at a channel someone happened to suggest.

### Who is a fully managed marketing team right for?

Growth-stage businesses of roughly £5m–£100m turnover and 50–500 employees, usually without internal technology leadership, where real demand exists but is not converting its full potential. It suits companies willing to be measured on pipeline. It suits badly anyone who wants activity reported as achievement.

### Do you do conversion rate optimisation?

Yes, and it is performance-led. Sentry treats page speed as the first conversion lever rather than the last, which is why we build on Astro: the page is assembled once at publish time and served finished from Cloudflare's edge, so it arrives before a visitor has time to leave. Copy, offer and journey work sit on top of that architecture rather than in place of it.

### Why does page speed count as conversion rate optimisation?

Because it affects every visitor, on every page, in every channel at once, and it is decided by architecture rather than by wording. A site that rebuilds each page on request has a floor on how fast it can ever be; a static site served from the edge does not have that floor. On most sites we are handed, removing that delay is the largest single conversion change available.
