Quick answer

Frontal is a go-to-market partner for B2B tech companies whose experienced operators run outbound, account-based marketing, paid media, content and RevOps against one account list in the client’s own CRM, and manage buyer replies themselves. Growth Today is an AI-native GTM agency for B2B teams that sells LinkedIn content, outbound and ABM ads as separate services, with add-on AI agents that find accounts, enrich CRM data and follow up with prospects before a meeting is confirmed.

Methodology

## Our Method for Comparing Frontal and Growth Today

On paper, Frontal and Growth Today overlap more than most of the [Clay automation agencies](https://frontal.so/blog/best-clay-automation-agencies) that buyers shortlist. Both run outbound, paid ads and content for B2B tech teams, and both build inside the client’s CRM.

Since the service lists look so alike, we compared what each partner does once your buyers are involved. Two moments stood out: what happens when a buyer replies to your outreach, and where your content shows up when buyers go looking for answers.

Every Growth Today detail comes from its own website and Clay’s partner directory, both checked in October 2026. Frontal’s side comes from our own services and published case studies.

You’re reading a comparison from our own team, so here’s how we kept it fair. Every claim we make about Growth Today traces back to a public source, and where a detail isn’t public, we say so.

### Frontal

We’re a go-to-market partner made up of people who do the work themselves. Our operators research your accounts, launch your outbound, run your [paid media](https://frontal.so/services/paid-media) and [account-based marketing](https://frontal.so/services/account-based-marketing), publish your content and keep your CRM data clean.

You can hire us for one of those jobs or for all of them, and each one works from the same list of target accounts. B2B tech companies like Endava, Agicap, VTS and EliseAI count on us for that work.

\[ The buyer’s side \]

## What a Buyer Goes Through With Each Partner

A head of marketing at one of your target accounts won’t know or care which agency you hired. They’ll see your content, an ad or two and your outreach, and if something catches their interest, they’ll write back and expect a useful answer.

Each of those steps plays out a little differently with Frontal and with Growth Today.

| When the Buyer… | With Frontal | With Growth Today |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Looks for answers | Finds posts from your founders and team on LinkedIn and X, plus articles on your site that answer their questions in Google and ChatGPT. | Finds posts on your founders’ or executives’ own LinkedIn accounts, two or five a week depending on the package. |
| Sees an ad | Sees LinkedIn or Google ads aimed at your target accounts. We send results from your CRM back to the ad platforms, so budget follows what brings in pipeline. | Sees ads on LinkedIn, Google, Meta or other platforms. Each engagement feeds that account’s score, so your team knows who to contact next. |
| Gets outreach | Gets an email or LinkedIn message when the account shows a buying signal, like a new executive or a funding round. | Gets one-to-one outreach if the account shows strong buying signals. Other accounts in the market get targeted outreach every 60 days. |
| Writes back | Hears back from one of our operators, who handles the conversation and passes it to your sales rep once the buyer is interested. | Gets up to five follow-ups from REX, an AI agent, which confirms the meeting time and alerts SDRs. |
| Becomes pipeline | Counts toward a pipeline goal agreed before launch, with reports showing which channel brought each opportunity in. | Counts in its GTM engineering reports on pipeline and cost per opportunity. On its LinkedIn content service, the client tracks meetings and pipeline itself. |

Client snapshot

$7.83M in qualified pipeline and $1.52M in closed-won revenue for AirOps in 10 months, with ads and outbound working one account list inside its own HubSpot and no new SDRs hired. [See how it ran](https://frontal.so/case-studies/airops).

\[ Key differences \]

## Where Frontal and Growth Today Part Ways

Choosing between these two capable partners rarely comes down to one big difference. It usually comes down to a few practical ones, and those only surface once you ask how the work gets done week to week.

01 Strategic

### Where Your Expertise Gets Found

Frontal

[Content Engineering](https://frontal.so/services/content-engineering) starts with interviews with your founders and team. We write and design their LinkedIn and X posts, and we write the articles that answer the questions buyers type into Google and ChatGPT, so your company comes up while they’re still researching.

Growth Today

Its LinkedIn Content Engine writes for founders’ and executives’ LinkedIn accounts, and company pages aren’t included. The service covers strategy, writing, profile branding and outreach to people who engage, with no search or AI answer content listed as of October 2026.

02 Strategic

### Who Answers When a Buyer Writes Back

Frontal

Our operators handle every reply, separate real interest from polite brush-offs and route warm conversations to your reps inside your CRM. What your reps hear on those calls feeds straight back into the next round of targeting and messaging.

Growth Today

REX reads each reply for sentiment and intent, sends three to five follow-ups and confirms the meeting, so your SDRs only step in once a time is set. The trade-off is that the agent decides who’s worth a meeting, and Growth Today doesn’t publish how it makes that call.

03 Strategic

### How Many Accounts Hear From You

Frontal

We rank the accounts worth selling to and reach them when buying signals fire, like a new executive, a funding round or repeat visits to your pricing. Volume stays controlled, because every account on a focused list is worth a careful first touch.

Growth Today

Its outbound runs on two tracks: one-to-one outreach to high-signal accounts, and targeted outreach to the rest of the addressable market every 60 days. REX then handles the first replies before your SDRs take over.

Client snapshot

About 650 positive replies from companies in its target market in six months. Modash used [our cold email](https://frontal.so/case-studies/modash) to invite Shopify brands it wasn’t reaching through search or LinkedIn to its virtual events.

04 Strategic

### How Pipeline Gets Credited

Frontal

Your CRM keeps the score. Each opportunity is tied to the channel that sourced it, and in our regular reviews with you, budget and effort move toward the outbound, ads or content that’s creating pipeline.

Growth Today

Its GTM engineering work tracks pipeline created, positive response rate, meetings and cost per opportunity, and the 90-day pilot closes with a performance review. On the LinkedIn Content Engine, the live report covers reach and engagement, and the client tracks any meetings and pipeline from content itself.

Client snapshot

Teikametrics swapped manual BDR prospecting for outbound we run and built $300K+ in pipeline over nine months. Its team also got [100+ hours back](https://frontal.so/case-studies/teikametrics) every month.

05 Operational

### What You’ll Pay and How It’s Set

Frontal

There’s no rate card. Your price depends on which services are in scope and which tools you already run, so we work it out with you on the first call, and any ad budget is billed separately from our fee.

Growth Today

Its own site doesn’t list prices, but its Clay directory listing does. As of October 2026, the listing shows budgets of $5k+ a month, and Growth Today’s site describes a 90-day pilot as the way work begins.

06 Operational

### Who Runs Your Account

Frontal

An engagement manager is your day-to-day contact, and you deal directly with the senior operators who build and run your campaigns.

Growth Today

Its site describes [forward-deployed experts](https://frontal.so/blog/forward-deployed-engineering) working alongside AI agents. It also says it limits how many clients it takes on, so the quality of service holds as it grows.

\[ Which fits \]

## Frontal or Growth Today: Match the Partner to Your Situation

Most teams recognize themselves in one of these situations. Read across the row closest to yours.

| What Your Team Needs | Frontal | Growth Today |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A person on every reply until the meeting is set | Our core model. Operators manage replies and route warm conversations to your reps. | REX handles the first follow-ups, then your SDRs take over. |
| Content buyers find in Google and AI answers | Content Engineering writes articles for search and AI answers alongside LinkedIn and X posts. | Its content service covers individual LinkedIn profiles. |
| Ads, outbound and content run off one account list | Every channel works the same accounts and CRM data, with pipeline reported by channel. | Its engines are sold separately and can be combined. |
| Agent-run follow-up across a wide addressable market | Outside our focus. We keep volume controlled and aimed at ranked accounts. | Built for this, with outreach to the wider market every 60 days and REX on the replies. |
| Meta ads in the media mix | We run LinkedIn and Google ads. | Its ABM Ads list Meta among the platforms it runs. |

### Where We’re the Wrong Choice

Some teams come to us too early. If you’re still working out who buys your product and why, more outbound, ads or content won’t fix that yet, and we’d rather tell you so than take the work.

Others want something we don’t sell, like a guaranteed number of meetings, messages sent to every contact in the market, an intent data subscription or a system built and handed over on day one.

And if you’d rather have an AI agent answer your buyers than a person, our operator-led approach won’t suit you, and we’ll say that on the first call.

\[ The real questions \]

## Questions Buyers Ask About Frontal and Growth Today

### Does Frontal Use AI Agents in Its Work?

Yes, for research, enrichment and first drafts. Experienced operators own targeting, messaging, campaign approval and optimization, and they manage the replies that come back.

### Can Frontal Take Over a System Growth Today Built in Our CRM?

Usually, yes. Growth Today says clients own the accounts, data, workflows and documentation it builds, so we start by auditing what’s running in your CRM and Clay, keep what works and rebuild the rest.

### Do Frontal and Growth Today Both Build in Clay?

Yes. Frontal is a Clay Elite Studio Partner, the top tier of Clay’s current Solutions Partner Program. Growth Today describes itself as one of the Clay Enterprise agency partners.

### What Should We Ask Any Partner About AI-Handled Replies?

Ask how many follow-ups an agent sends before a person steps in, and who decides whether a conversation is worth a meeting. A real reply thread from a recent campaign will answer both.

### What Should We Bring to a First Call With Frontal?

Bring your pipeline goal and the accounts you most want to win. A senior operator will tell you where we’d start and how we’d measure it, or say plainly that we’re not the right fit.
