  • 20 Best SaaS Marketing and Advertising Agencies in New York
TL;DR:

Looking to scale your SaaS brand in the U.S. from the heart of New York? This guide highlights 20 of the best SaaS marketing and advertising agencies with proven experience in helping software companies grow. From powerhouse paid media squads to content-first SEO specialists, these agencies understand MRR, churn, LTV, and the nuances of SaaS growth. Leading the list is SaaStorm, a remote-first European-based agency known for its ROI-focused SEO-led content engines and full-funnel strategies for brands like Lingio, Reditus, and OneUp Sales. Whether you need local presence or global expertise, this list is your shortcut to finding the right partner for sustainable SaaS growth in 2025.

New York City isn’t short on marketing agencies. From Madison Avenue giants to boutique digital shops, the options seem endless.

But when you’re running a SaaS company, the game changes.

Finding an agency that genuinely understands the nuances of MRR, churn, LTV, and the specific growth levers for software companies requires more than a cursory glance — it demands serious due diligence.

That’s precisely why we created this list. We’ve done the heavy lifting, cutting through the noise to identify agencies equipped to help SaaS businesses scale.

What makes this resource unique?

We didn’t just take agencies at their word. Our research went deeper than compiling a standard list of the supposed best marketing agencies in New York City.

Good to know! We meticulously researched each one, verifying their experience specifically with SaaS clients and their track record in driving tangible growth for companies like yours.

Now, about location. While we’ve prioritized including agencies headquartered or with a significant office presence in NYC, we haven’t limited ourselves strictly by geography.

Why?

Because when it comes to accelerating SaaS growth, proven expertise and results trump a zip code every time. That said, for businesses requiring a partner with a physical New York office for compliance, collaboration, or other reasons, you’ll find plenty of excellent, locally-based options right here.

The outcome is a curated list of 20 top SaaS-focused marketing and advertising agencies in New York ready to serve you in 2025.

Top marketing agencies in New York: 20 picks that serve SaaS businesses well

Alright, here are the 20 agencies that made the cut. For every agency listed, we detail their specific SaaS advantage, showcase relevant client successes, and offer insights into their pricing structures, helping you make a more informed decision, faster.

1. SaaStorm

While many agencies boast NYC addresses and correspondingly high price tags, SaaStorm stands out as the #1 choice for SaaS companies seeking smarter, more efficient growth driven by SEO-led content marketing. As a fully remote, revenue-focused SaaS marketing agency, SaaStorm offers a powerful alternative to the traditional big-budget NYC firm.

We understand the NYC market’s intensity but know that world-class SaaS marketing doesn’t require a Manhattan office. By leveraging our high-skill, lower-overhead European base, we deliver exceptional results without the inflated costs often found stateside (where agency rates can be 30-50% higher). We pass that cost-efficiency directly to you, providing a leaner, more results-driven path to scaling your SaaS business in the U.S. market.

Our approach isn’t just about cost savings but targeted expertise. These include:

  • U.S. GTM expertise: Global experience, with deep mastery of U.S. go-to-market strategies to drive real buyer conversion.
  • Pure SaaS focus: We work only with B2B SaaS, building SEO-driven content engines focused on effective lead generation and revenue, guided by a robust SaaS content strategy.
  • Proven growth partner: Trusted by startups scaling into and out of the U.S., delivering measurable demand generation.
  • Creative + technical: Our creative team fuses storytelling and engaging content writing services with deep technical SEO, data analytics, and CRO expertise to maximize both your digital presence and bottom-line revenue impact.
  • Data-driven PPC campaigns: Complementing our long-term SEO foundation, our targeted B2B SaaS PPC campaigns deliver rapid results, filling the initial pipeline gap while SEO gains traction.
  • Lean, results-driven: We operate async-ready and efficiently, using techniques like content engineering to build scalable, optimized content processes designed to maximize ROI. This ensures we focus every dollar on meaningful growth outcomes, not bloated processes or vanity metrics.

Proof, not promises

“I’m very impressed with the results we’ve achieved together with the SaaStorm team. Our organic traffic has grown by 500% in just 9 months, leading to an 11x increase in incoming leads.” 

— Fredrik Selander, Head of Marketing at Lingio

How to pick from these top marketing agencies in NYC? An evaluation framework

After browsing this list of top digital marketing agencies in New York, you might be wondering how to narrow down the options and find the perfect fit for your company. Well, choosing the right digital agency goes beyond a NYC address or an impressive client list. Here’s a framework to help you evaluate and select the ideal SaaS marketing agency for your specific needs.

#1 Service alignment with your needs

Why it matters: 

Agencies have different strengths (e.g., SEO-led content, paid acquisition, ABM, website development). You need a partner whose core competencies match your immediate growth priorities and long-term digital strategies.

How to vet:

  • Clearly define your primary goals (e.g., increase online visibility through SEO, generate demo requests, scale user acquisition via paid social, improve trial-to-paid conversion). Ensure the agency can build a cohesive digital marketing strategy around these objectives.
  • Review the agency’s service offerings. Do their professional services demonstrate deep expertise in your required areas? For instance, if improving search engine rankings is key, you’ll want to focus on the best SEO agencies for SaaS. Similarly, if video marketing is a priority for showcasing your SaaS product, ensure the agency has strong capabilities there.
  • Ask which services/channels typically drive the best results for their SaaS clients.

#2 Proven track record & relevant case studies

Why it matters:

Past success, particularly with SaaS companies similar to yours (in terms of stage, industry, or target audience), is a strong indicator of potential future results. The best digital marketing agency for you will have relevant success stories.

How to vet:

  • Scrutinize case studies for quantifiable SaaS results and comparable client context; ask to review relevant work, like content marketing examples that contributed to client success.
  • Ask for references from current or past SaaS clients, ideally ones they highlight as successes.
  • Check third-party review sites (like Clutch, G2) for direct customer feedback, paying attention to reviews from other SaaS businesses.

#3 Cultural fit & communication style

Why it matters:

You need a partner whose work style meshes with yours. Evaluate whether their structure (formal, flexible, remote-centric) and communication methods enhance collaboration. Efficient, transparent communication, often found in async-friendly or well-managed remote setups like SaaStorm’s, can be crucial for fast-moving SaaS teams, ensuring focus remains on results, not just process, regardless of geographic location.

How to vet:

  • Assess their initial responsiveness and communication clarity.
  • Verify their communication rhythm, tool proficiency (especially remote tools like Slack), and reporting efficiency.
  • Probe how they agilely handle feedback, adapt strategy, and manage projects using efficient (potentially remote-native) workflows.

#4 Pricing structure & budget compatibility

Why it matters:

Agency costs vary significantly. You need clarity on their pricing model (retainer, project-based, performance), minimum engagement levels, and what’s included to ensure it fits your budget and provides expected value.

How to vet:

  • Request detailed pricing information upfront — understand retainers, setup fees, and any potential ad spend minimums.
  • Ask how they measure and report on the ROI of their activities.
  • Ensure their minimum project size or retainer aligns with your available marketing budget.

FAQs

1. When should you hire a New York City-based agency versus a remote agency?

Hiring a New York City-based agency can make sense if you need frequent in-person meetings, local market insights, or on-site support that only a physical presence can provide. Some companies also value the immediate networking opportunities and real-time collaboration that a local team offers.
However, for most SaaS businesses, especially those operating in fast-moving, digital-first environments, the advantages of a remote agency often outweigh geographic considerations. Remote agencies typically tap into a wider talent pool, providing access to specialized skills like SaaS growth marketing, advanced SEO, or complex paid media strategies. They are also more likely to offer flexible engagement models and cost efficiencies by operating outside of high-overhead markets.
In a space where expertise, execution speed, and ROI matter most, partnering with a remote agency often means you get the best talent for your specific needs, regardless of location.

2. How do I truly know if an agency understands SaaS-specific KPIs beyond just listing them?

Genuine understanding of SaaS KPIs like MRR, LTV, CAC, and Churn rate goes far beyond simply mentioning the acronyms. When vetting agencies, probe how their proposed strategies and activities directly influence these core metrics. Ask for specific examples from past SaaS clients detailing how their work impacted pipeline value, reduced churn rates, or increased trial-to-paid conversion velocity. Look for case studies that quantify results in terms of qualified demos, sales-qualified leads that converted, or contribution to ARR, rather than focusing solely on vanity metrics like traffic volume or social media engagement.

3. Is it better for a SaaS company to separate SEO and paid media with different specialist agencies, or work with one integrated partner?

It’s often better for a SaaS company to work with one agency that can manage both SEO and paid media together. Paid media helps drive quick results and fill the pipeline while SEO, which takes longer to show impact, is still building up. When both channels are managed together, they support each other: paid search can highlight high-converting keywords that SEO teams can focus on, and SEO insights can improve paid campaign targeting. This integrated approach creates a stronger, more efficient marketing funnel and faster overall growth.
