You raised money to build product. Not to become a media buyer.
No commitment required
Start with the basics that actually convert.
AI SDRs send 1,000 cold emails/day. You're building a Twitter following. You hired a growth hacker promising PLG magic. All experimental. Know what's not experimental? Retargeting people who visited your site. Google ads for people searching for your solution right now. The lowest-hanging fruit, and you're leaving it on the table.
Your PH launch was great. Then...nothing. No retargeting campaign. No follow-up. Those visitors are gone. You spent weeks on launch day prep but didn't set up the 48 hours after.
No Pixel setup. No conversion tracking. No retargeting audiences. Just clicked 'Promote' on a post and hoped for the best. Obviously it didn't work. But the problem wasn't ads, it was that you didn't set up infrastructure first.
You emailed 5 agencies. All of them want $10K retainers, discovery calls, creative briefs, and long onboarding processes. You don't have time for that.
They need: working analytics, Meta Pixel, conversion tracking, creative assets, audience lists. They've been here a while and haven't launched a single campaign yet.
Engineer embedded. Agency matched. Ads live. You never open Ads Manager.
Not a consultant. An engineer embedded in your Slack. Sets up: GA4 (correctly), Meta Pixel, Conversions API, LinkedIn Insight Tag. Fixes your broken analytics. Builds retargeting audiences from your existing traffic. Sets up proper attribution for fundraising metrics.
We've tested dozens of agencies and freelancers. We brief them on your product (you don't write the brief). They inherit working infrastructure, not broken Pixels. They launch ads fast.
First campaigns go live. Low-hanging fruit first: retargeting your existing traffic, Google Search for people searching for your solution, lookalike audiences. Regular check-ins on CAC and conversion rates. Engineering support when things break.
Everything you need to succeed
Product Hunt visitors, blog readers, trial signups. They already showed interest. Retargeting converts warm traffic into customers.
Not experimental tactics. Proven channels: retargeting, Google Search, lookalike audiences. The easiest results you can get from ads.
Accurate CAC, LTV, payback period for investor updates. Conversion tracking that actually works. Your Series A deck has a CAC slide. We make those numbers real and defensible.
We only work with agencies and freelancers who understand startups. No 6-week onboarding. They inherit working infrastructure from day 1.
An engineer in your Slack. Fixes broken GA4, sets up Pixels, builds retargeting audiences, configures events. Your growth hire can start running ads immediately.
We brief the agency. We attend the strategy calls. We handle the onboarding. You get a Slack message: 'Ads are live, here's the dashboard.'
Start small, scale big. Your pricing grows with you, no surprise renegotiations.
Depends on the scope of service you need. Let's talk.
Forward-deployed engineer, tracking setup, agency matching.
Agency management, engineering support, ongoing optimization. Priced based on your ad spend and service scope.
If your Pixel is broken or GA4 is misconfigured, we fix it first. Only if needed.
It depends on what you need. We tailor pricing to your ad spend, the scope of service, and your growth stage. Book a call and we'll walk you through it.
If your Pixel is broken or GA4 is misconfigured (happens most of the time with early-stage startups), we fix it first. We audit before we charge anything.
We structure pricing so our incentives align with yours. We win when your CAC drops and you scale. Traditional agencies charge the same whether you spend $20K or $200K.
We swap them. You don't manage this relationship. We do.
No. If you raised $1M-$20M and need to show traction fast, this works for you.
The engineer stays available for ad hoc support. Pixel breaks, tracking stops, new event needed. They fix it.
Yes. We can do engineering-only: you keep your agency, we make sure the infrastructure works. Book a call and we'll scope it out.
That's fine. We work with companies at all stages. Pricing scales with you.
