How an engagement runs

Four stages, in this order, every time

The sequence matters. Most underperforming accounts we inherit skipped straight to launch on a measurement layer that was quietly broken.

  1. 01Two weeks, fixed fee

    Audit

    We go through the last 12 months of spend, the tracking setup and the creative history, and tell you where the money went. You keep the audit whether or not we work together.

  2. 02Weeks three and four

    Build

    Account structure rebuilt, tracking verified event by event, creative briefed. Nothing launches on a broken measurement layer.

  3. 03Month two

    Launch

    Campaigns go live against an agreed target CPA or ROAS. Prospecting and retention are reported separately from day one.

  4. 04Ongoing

    Scale

    Budget moves on a weekly cadence, creative refreshes on a schedule, and every change is logged so you can see what we did and why.

What changed, and what it was worth

Client names withheld under NDA. Figures are from the engagements described, measured on blended numbers rather than platform-reported ones.

Direct-to-consumer · Ontario

Rebuilt a Meta account that had stopped scaling past $40k a month

Spend had plateaued for three quarters with CPA drifting upward. We consolidated 14 campaigns into four, moved the conversion event server-side, and put a weekly creative cycle in place. The account cleared $110k a month within two quarters at a lower blended CAC than it started with.

B2B SaaS · North America

Connected LinkedIn spend to closed-won revenue

Marketing was reporting a $61 cost per lead while sales complained the leads were unusable. We imported CRM stages back into LinkedIn, changed the optimisation target and cut three audiences entirely. Cost per lead went up. Cost per qualified opportunity halved.

Subscription · Canada & UK

Found a third of native spend going to supply that never converted

A discovery campaign looked efficient on platform. Site-level analysis showed a long tail of publishers producing signups that never billed. Aggressive block-listing plus a rewritten advertorial page moved the channel from break-even to genuinely profitable.

Common questions

Straight answers before you call

If the answer to one of these rules us out, better to know now than after a proposal.

Most clients spend between CAD $15,000 and $500,000 a month across channels. Below roughly $10,000 a month, an agency retainer rarely pays for itself and we will say so.

A flat monthly retainer based on scope, or a hybrid of a base fee plus a percentage of spend above an agreed threshold. We do not take media rebates, and we do not mark up your ad spend.

No. After the initial 90-day engagement, we work month to month on 30 days' notice. Accounts stay in your name, in your billing, always.

The person you meet in the first call. We do not sell senior strategists and staff the work to juniors — every account has a named buyer who is in the platform daily.

Consumer e-commerce, subscription, financial services, education and B2B SaaS. We turn down categories we cannot buy responsibly, and we will tell you if yours is one where we would be learning on your budget.

We are based in Toronto and run campaigns for brands across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Gulf. Reporting runs on your timezone, not ours.
