01 — The channel mix

Every feed.
One media plan.

We don't sell channels — we sell a mix. Budget moves weekly toward whatever is converting, so no platform gets a fixed slice just because it's on the proposal.

02 — The full funnel

From the scroll
to the second order.

Most agencies stop at the click. We plan all four stages as one system — and widen the funnel again after the sale, because repeat buyers are the cheapest revenue you'll ever earn.

08 — Questions

Before you
hit spend.

Still deciding? Book a 30-minute call and we'll look at your current accounts live — no pitch deck.

Book a call
01

How much should we spend on ads?

Most clients start between $5k and $20k a month in ad spend. Below that, there isn't enough data to test properly — we'll tell you honestly if that's you, and suggest SEO or email first.

02

How quickly will we see results?

First results land within 30 days: clean tracking, the first creative tests and early movement in CPA. Our median CPA drop in the first 90 days is 38%, and you see every number in the Monday report from week one. If you don't trust your current numbers, start with why your ROAS is lying.

03

Do we have to sign a long contract?

No. Every retainer starts with a 90-day minimum — the twelve-week sprint it takes to test properly — then runs month to month. You can shift gear between Launch, Growth and Scale any month, or stop after the first 90 days.

04

Who owns the ad accounts and creatives?

You do. Ad accounts, pixels, audiences and every creative we make live in your business accounts from day one. Ad spend is billed by the platforms straight to you and we never mark it up, so if we part ways nothing needs handing back.

05

Do you only work with ecommerce brands?

No. Ecommerce is the biggest share of our retainers, but the same performance marketing system runs lead generation for local businesses, real estate and B2B — from café and barber bookings to LinkedIn lead-gen forms for decision makers. The KPI changes; the Monday report doesn't.

06

Can you work alongside our in-house team?

Yes. Plenty of clients keep brand, content or email in-house and hand us paid media and creative testing. We work in your tools, share one media plan and one Monday report, and agree who owns what in week one, so nothing gets done twice. When the landing page is the bottleneck, our web development team can rebuild it.
