Real Market Strategy

Revenue systems for private equity portfolio companies.

We install a growth engine inside a portfolio company. Pipeline, CRM, attribution. Then we run it as a 90-day sprint, measured on the numbers an operating partner actually reports: qualified pipeline, CAC, and EBITDA impact.

The premise

Marketing is an EBITDA line.

Most mid-market portfolio companies under-invest in systematic demand generation. Not for lack of budget. For lack of infrastructure. Leads go unanswered. Follow-up is manual. Attribution is guesswork. The marketing spend that does exist can’t be tied to revenue.

That gap is an EBITDA line. Close it and two things happen to enterprise value. Earnings compound during the hold. And the next buyer inherits a clean, transferable revenue engine: documented pipeline, CRM discipline, attribution a diligence team can verify.

We build and operate that engine.

The system

What we install.

Deliberately not included: ad-account babysitting, brand redesigns, social-media management. This is revenue infrastructure, not a media retainer.
The engagement

Ninety days. One company.

  1. Weeks 0 to 2: InstallWe deploy the stack, integrate it with the company’s existing channels, and baseline current lead flow, response time, and conversion.
  2. Weeks 3 to 12: Operate & tuneThe system runs; we manage it. Monthly reporting against the baseline: pipeline created, CAC, response times, attributed revenue.
  3. Day 90: DecisionThe numbers either justify rolling on, and rolling out to further portfolio companies, or they don’t. Fixed price. No lock-in.

We take on a small number of companies at a time. This is an operated service, not software resale.

Why us

Run by an operator, on our own platform.

Real Market Strategy is run by its founder, Yakup Kocaman. Nearly thirty years in business. Time inside a private equity firm, supporting the CEO on board reporting and research. Fifteen years building digital marketing systems as an independent consultant. We know what a portfolio review looks like from the board’s side of the table, and we report accordingly. The delivery stack is our own: Leadbol, our proprietary platform for CRM, automation and attribution, combined with AI-driven content and data tooling.

A fair test of how we work: our research systems read real filed financials from Companies House records. Including the roughly 60% of accounts filed as scanned documents, which commercial databases only estimate. Ask us to run a live extraction on any company you name.
