Lean Digital Strategies

With a Proven Testing Component

From our roots in Denver’s startup scene, we’ve built a global reputation for delivering results when no one else can. Our distinctive approach relies on following the data rather than making assumptions. That’s why everything we do—from ads, to websites, to emails—has a testing component.

We’ve run over 2,000 test campaigns to date ranging from simple A/B tests to advanced, multi-faceted discovery tests. Our signature Persona Driver Message test is a great option for clients looking to gain robust, actionable insights about who their customers are, what motivates them, and how to message them for best results.

We specialize in solving complex go-to-market and growth problems for B2B tech and venture/PE-backed companies.

“It’s like they are part of my company!”

 

When I’m talking to friends or colleagues about by business, I refer to Clever Funnel as “my marketing team.” It’s like they are part of my company! These guys have my back; they are thinking and planning for me and my company and my clients. They are always there for advice and direction. I COULD NOT have had the success I’ve had in the last 2+ years without them.

“What impressed us most was their systematic approach to testing…”

 

The difference between guessing and knowing is data, and CleverFunnel’s discovery process eliminated all guesswork from our digital marketing. What impressed us most was their systematic approach to testing, which revealed nuanced insights about our customers that we never would have uncovered otherwise. Now we have a clear roadmap for connecting with our ideal customers, backed by real data about who they are and what messaging resonates with them.

Our History

Every great story starts with someone asking “what if?” For CleverFunnel, that question came in 2017 when Chris Franks, a familiar face in the Denver startup scene, wondered: “What if marketing could be more like software development? What if we could bring the revolutionary methodologies of Agile and Lean to the world of digital marketing?”
The answer wasn’t just another agency—it was a whole new approach to helping companies grow.
Starting with a small team of innovators, CleverFunnel set out to challenge the traditional agency model. Our mission wasn’t just to create another marketing agency—it was to help companies discover what their customers actually want, not what marketers think they want.

Founder

Over the years, our team has grown into a dynamic collective of data experts, creative minds, account managers, and digital specialists—all united by an insatiable curiosity and drive to challenge assumptions. In 2023, we joined forces with Stage Fund, a Denver-based private equity and restructuring firm, expanding our ability to guide companies through critical growth phases.

Today, from our home base in Denver’s vibrant RiNo district, we continue to push boundaries and question conventions. Whether we’re crafting go-to-market strategies for tech startups, developing digital campaigns for wellness brands, or helping non-profits amplify their impact, our approach remains the same: stay curious, question everything, and always put the customer first.
