Founder & CEO

Tom Poole, founder of two venture capital-backed companies and winner of Seattle's prestigious "Forty Under 40" award, faced a critical challenge that many entrepreneurs encounter: finding a marketing partner that could consistently deliver measurable results.

This challenge became the catalyst for MarketSense.


Having pioneered in the digital space since 1995, Poole leveraged his entrepreneurial experience to build a company founded on a singular premise—delivering predictable growth through the strategic integration of data, marketing, and analytics.


"The digital marketing landscape was filled with promises but short on verifiable outcomes," Poole reflects. "MarketSense was born from the need to bridge that gap."


What began as a solution to Poole's own marketing challenges quickly evolved into a powerhouse serving clients ranging from ambitious startups to billion-dollar corporations. The common thread? A relentless focus on results over recognition.


As a long-time AI enthusiast, Poole positioned MarketSense at the forefront of artificial intelligence adoption in B2B marketing—well before it became an industry buzzword. Today, this early investment has matured into a significant competitive advantage. AI serves as a force multiplier throughout their operations, dramatically boosting efficiency in sales and marketing departments while driving better conversions at lower costs.


MarketSense's proprietary tools cut through the complexity of the digital landscape, offering clients clarity in a world of noise. Their approach transforms data into strategy, strategy into action, and action into measurable growth.


In an industry where many chase accolades, MarketSense remains focused on the most important metric: client success. This philosophy has fueled their growth from a Seattle startup to a trusted partner for businesses seeking not just marketing services, but transformative results in the digital marketplace.
