Valve+Meter || Performance Marketing Agency in Indianapolis

FULL-SERVICE. PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN.

Repeatable, Scalable, AND Profitable Results

We named our practice Valve+Meter because the variables we can manage with you are the flow and cost of new business. The “valve” part of our approach manages the right rate of new business for your operation. By managing the appropriate rate of leads for your business, we help ensure your marketing dollars are only spent on leads you can convert. We set our pricing with you not based on the activities we pursue but on the “metered” results we generate.

CEO + Founder

Marcia barnes

As the Founder and CEO of Valve+Meter Performance Marketing, Marcia Barnes knows a thing or two about leading and serving. This woman of influence has made a career out of reinventing herself and helping others become the best version of themselves.

Marcia has a rich history in leading and serving performance-based marketing organizations in the home services vertical. In addition to leading multiple marketing agencies, she has received notable recognition for her leadership as President and CEO at Indianapolis-based Defender Direct (now called DEFENDERS). Over the course of her 14-year tenure with the company, Defender Direct experienced exponential growth from $2MM in annual revenue to more than $400MM. Marcia believes everyone has a ‘here to there’ story unfolding in their lives, so she focuses her business leadership and personal stewardship on efforts to help others thrive.

Meet Marcia

When Valve+Meter came into our company, they quickly realized that what we thought was marketing was really just chaos and wasted money. We are now quickly achieving much greater results with a lower spend. Engaging Valve+Meter is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
