★ The manifesto

"Spend without attribution is donation. We build the tracking before we run a single dollar through the system, so every click maps back to a customer or it gets killed."

★ The reality of paid media

Most agencies are optimizing the wrong thing.

iOS 14, third-party cookie deprecation, and the algorithm shift moved performance away from bidding strategy and audience targeting. Now creative is the lever. Most agencies still split-test bid caps and call that work.

We test creative weekly, kill losers in 48 hours, scale winners 20-30% per day, and rebuild the funnel underneath if it leaks. That is the work.

Avg ROAS our clients hit

★ Frequently asked

Straight answers on paid media.

What is a realistic ROAS for my business?

+
Depends on margin and product type. Ecom DTC: 3-5x is healthy, 6-10x is exceptional. High-ticket services: 4-8x. B2B SaaS: tracked by Cost Per Lead instead. We will give you a real target on the discovery call based on your margin and lifetime value.

How much should I spend on ads?

+
Enough that the algorithm can actually learn. Below a real daily minimum, Meta and Google cannot optimize and you burn budget without data. We will recommend a realistic starting spend on the discovery call based on your audience size, channel, and goal. Scaling clients run substantially higher once campaigns prove out.

How does pricing work?

+
Management fee is separate from your ad spend. We quote a fixed monthly retainer scaled to channel count, creative workload, and reporting cadence, with a percent-of-spend structure once budgets get large. Creative production is billed separately or bundled. Free 15-minute call to scope yours.

Do you do the creative or do I?

+
Both options. We have in-house creative direction for Bakersfield clients (Lauren + small camera kit). For remote, we provide briefs + storyboards and you self-film, or we work with creators in your city. Heavy production scoped separately. iOS 14+ and the algorithm shift mean creative is now 70-80% of performance, not bidding.

Will you guarantee a specific ROAS?

+
No. Anyone guaranteeing a specific ROAS is either lying or planning to game the attribution. What we commit to: full transparency on spend, daily performance monitoring, weekly optimization, monthly insights call, and a willingness to tell you to pause campaigns that are not working.

What platforms do you work in?

+
Meta (Facebook + Instagram), Google (Search, Display, Shopping, YouTube), TikTok, LinkedIn, programmatic display, and retargeting across all of them. We do not run X/Twitter or Pinterest ads currently. We recommend the right mix based on where your buyers are, not where every other agency runs ads.

How long until I see results?

+
First conversions typically come in week 1-2 once campaigns are live. Statistical confidence on what is working in week 3-4. Sustainable scaling in months 2-3. Ad accounts have a 'learning curve' the algorithm needs to go through; switching strategies every week prevents learning and bleeds money.
