March Report Card: Did We Hit or Miss the Forecast

March Report Card: Did We Hit or Miss the Forecast

How did our clients actually perform in March 2025?

On this episode of the podcast, Taylor and Richard break down the latest performance scorecard across our client portfolio—revealing exactly how we stacked up against forecasted revenue, spend, and contribution margin goals.

Spoiler: We beat margin expectations by +11.68%, but that’s just the beginning.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The exact numbers behind our March forecast (and how close we came)

  • Why most agency case studies are misleading

  • How to evaluate an agency with real data, not anecdotes

  • How CTC forecasts client growth using a self-scrutinizing model

  • Why contribution margin is our north star metric—and what that means for your brand

If you’ve ever wondered how to hold an agency accountable (including your own), this is the episode for you.
