A proud affiliate of the Horizon Media family, we are a full service B2B practice – part consultancy, part agency, part institute – that helps companies achieve sustainable, scalable revenue expansion by aligning sales, marketing, and service around a common purpose: growth.
The growth formula has changed. Everyone is scrambling. Digital transformation is a business imperative, but many companies are still operating in silos—little interaction or collaboration between the end-to-end revenue operations of marketing, sales, and service. We created GreenThread because we know there’s a better way for you to grow—sustainably, responsibly, and with scale.
