Directive review
A mature B2B technology performance partner with 56 Clutch reviews, full-funnel and ABM capability, and unusually explicit revenue measurement; best for funded growth teams.

Verdict
Directive scores highest because the public record covers the complete brief: revenue measurement, full-funnel media, ABM, attribution, and extensive B2B technology proof. Its size and process maturity reduce delivery risk, and independent reviews validate its ability to operate as an extension of a client's demand team. The downside is cost and potential complexity; smaller companies can buy more machinery than they need. The proposal should specify account selection, sales coordination, opportunity-level reporting, and who owns the data model, not merely channel targets.
