Built by an operator. Run as a product.
Growth Marketing Strategy exists because growing businesses were stuck choosing between shared-lead marketplaces and $5,000 retainers. The Lead Machine is the third option: a real acquisition system at a flat, publishable price, for any business that runs on leads.
The operator
The machine was built by Ro Maldonado. Across a 15-yr marketing career he has run paid acquisition, lifecycle email, conversion optimization, and revenue analytics inside a regional bank, a national wealth-management network, and venture-backed startups, with a body of award-recognized campaign work behind it. Those career numbers live on his founder site; they are credentials from that career, and they are the playbook the Lead Machine productizes.
The company behind it
Growth Marketing Strategy is a gRO (Growth Revenue Optimization) company. gRO runs premium operator-led growth engagements for B2B SaaS; GMS packages the same operating discipline, at product prices, for every other kind of business. Same operator, same systems, different scale.
How we keep the price flat
The delivery stack is automated end to end: creative generation, audience builds, nurture sequences, and reporting run on systems, not headcount. You get senior-level strategy in the places that need judgment and machines in the places that don’t. That is the whole trick, and it is why the fee fits on the pricing page.
What we say no to
- Shared or resold leads, ever.
- Percent-of-spend fees that reward burning your budget.
- Guaranteed-lead-count promises. Ranges are honest; guarantees are bait.
- Verticals we can’t serve well. If the fit call says no, we say no.
