Your growth is our growth

A monthly retainer that covers your ad spend to a set level, then a published rate on the spend above it — and 2% of the new monthly revenue we build above the baseline you start from. It is zero until the business grows, you keep 98% of it when it does, and every number is on this page. No discovery call required to find out what it costs.

Each tier is priced to take over exactly where the one below it stops being the better deal. Growing into the next tier costs less than staying in the last one, so scaling never turns into a renegotiation.

Not sure where you land? Run the free audit — it measures your real spend and tells you which tier fits.

— Who this is not for

If you want the cheapest hands available, someone else is cheaper and we would lose that comparison on purpose. If you need paid media to fix a product or a margin problem, it will not — media scales what already works. And if you want to keep marketing on faith rather than on measurement, this is the wrong place: the whole apparatus here exists to show you what is and is not working, including when the answer is uncomfortable for us.

All prices are monthly and exclude VAT. 3-month minimum term, then month to month.

One-time setup fee, covering tracking implementation and the day-zero audit, scaled to the tier and the platforms involved: Growth £1,500–£2,500 · Scale £2,500–£5,000 · Premier £5,000–£7,500 · Enterprise from £10,000.

— The growth fee

We wanted a stake in the outcome

A retainer alone pays an agency the same whether your revenue doubles or drifts. That is a comfortable arrangement for us and a quietly unambitious one for you, so we added a second term to the fee: 2% of the new monthly revenue above where you started.

It is deliberately a small number. Big revenue shares change what an agency argues for — they make the safe, profitable, boring recommendation harder to make. Two cents in the new dollar is enough that we feel your growth and not so much that it starts writing our advice.

The baseline

Set together before we go live, from your own commerce data — normally the trailing three-month average, and for a seasonal business measured against the same months last year so a normal December never counts as growth. We only share in what is built above that line, which means on day one the growth fee is zero by construction.

The rate

2% of the new monthly revenue above that line. You keep 98% of every new pound, dollar, or euro. It is small on purpose: a share large enough to argue about is a share that starts distorting the advice.

The guardrails

Nothing in a month with no growth. Capped at one month of your fee, so your total can never more than double however good the month gets — and past that cap your share climbs above the headline rate. Billed quarterly in arrears on revenue already banked, and never clawed back if a later month softens.

The annual review

Every twelve months we move the baseline up halfway to where the business now sits. Growth you have held for a year is billed at half the rate the next year, and half again the year after, until it fades out. You pay on the climb we are still driving, never on the altitude we reached together in year one.

— What that looks like on a real month

A Premier client spending £350,000 a month. We take the business from £500,000 to £800,000 of net monthly revenue — £300,000 of new revenue, every month, that was not there before.

Our fee that month is £22,750. Yours is the other £294,000 — and the £500,000 you were already doing, which we are not paid on at all.

— Who runs your account

There is no junior tier

The usual agency model puts a senior name on the pitch and a junior on the account. It is why the first ninety days are good and the next ninety are quiet.

Every account here is run by a senior strategist, at every tier, including the entry one. What changes as you grow is the depth of the work, not who is behind it.

Figures from client engagements documented in full on our work pages. Results vary by market, margin, and starting position — we will tell you which of these looks like your situation before you sign, not after.

— What comes with the retainer

The platform is not an add-on

Most of what follows is sold elsewhere as a separate subscription, on top of an agency fee. Here it is the plumbing, at every tier.

Attribution

Six models side by side, from first click to data-driven, over journeys stitched from your own first-party data. Where the models disagree is the interesting part, and you see it rather than taking one number on trust. Including what a genuinely new customer costs, measured against your real customer list rather than the platform’s guess.

Product intelligence

Performance at the level you actually buy and hold stock at. Which products carry the account, which quietly absorb budget, and how that changes across every platform you sell on — margin included, because revenue without cost of goods has talked plenty of brands into scaling a loss.

Creative intelligence

Every ad you have run, in one library, scored on what it did rather than how it felt. Fatigue caught while it is still cheap to act on, winners identified early enough to matter, and a testing roadmap that comes from the data instead of from whoever spoke last.

First-party tracking

Your own tracking on your own domain, sending conversions server-side to every platform you run. It keeps working as third-party cookies stop.

Private, live analytics

Your own dashboards, updated daily, for whoever on your team needs them. Not a PDF that arrives after the month it describes has ended.

Watched around the clock

Your account is checked continuously for anomalies, pacing drift, and misses against your own targets. The machines do the watching; a senior decides what to do about it.

An assistant that knows the account

Ask why last week moved and get a straight answer with the numbers behind it. It reads your data; it cannot spend your money.

Every change on the record

Meaningful changes are proposed, approved, and logged. You can always see what was done, when, and why.

All of it compounds. Month twelve is not month one repeated — the attribution has a year of journeys behind it, the creative library knows what has already failed, and the account has a history to reason against. The measurement is the asset, and it stays yours.

— How it starts

You start paying the day we go live

Most agencies bill from signature and spend the first month onboarding. We separate the two, because a retainer for a month of setup is a retainer for nothing.

  1. 01

    We measure before we quote

    Run the free audit or book a call. Either way we look at real account data first, so the tier we recommend comes from your numbers rather than a discovery form.

  2. 02

    Scope and start date agreed

    One onboarding call covers goals, constraints, and what good looks like. You get the tier, the setup fee, and the activation date in writing before anything is signed.

  3. 03

    Setup window

    We implement tracking, validate it against your commerce data, connect your platforms, run the day-zero audit, and agree the revenue baseline in writing. The one-time setup fee covers this. No retainer yet.

  4. 04

    Activation — the retainer begins

    Billing starts the day we take the accounts live, prorated from that date. The growth fee starts at zero, because on day one there is nothing above the baseline yet. Both of us have to go and earn it.

The price here is the price

No pricing that changes with how big your logo is. The calculator above is the same formula that generates your contract, and it is the same formula for everyone.

We earn when you grow

2% of the new revenue above your baseline, and nothing at all in a month without any. Capped at one month of your fee, measured on the same numbers you watch live in your own dashboard.

Your measurement is not an upsell

First-party tracking, server-side conversions, and multi-touch attribution are in the retainer. We will never sell you the ability to see whether our work is working.

Three months to prove it

A 3-month minimum, then month to month on thirty days notice. Long lock-ins protect the agency from its own results.

Questions people ask before signing

Who actually works on my account?

A senior strategist, on every tier, including the entry one. We do not staff accounts with juniors supervised at a distance, which is why the entry price starts where it does — the floor is set by what a senior operator costs, not by what the market will tolerate.

What counts as ad spend?

The media budget you pay the platforms, across every account we manage for you — Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft, Pinterest, and anything else we run. We measure it from the platforms directly, so the number on your invoice is the number in your ad accounts. It is never estimated.

When does billing actually start?

The retainer starts the day we take your accounts live, not the day you sign. Between signature and activation we implement tracking, run the day-zero audit, and connect your platforms — that window is covered by the one-time setup fee, and the first month of retainer is prorated from the activation date.

Is there a minimum term?

Three months, then month to month on thirty days notice. Three months is roughly what it takes for structural changes to show up in the data honestly. After that, staying should be your choice each month rather than a contract obligation.

What happens when my spend moves month to month?

The base retainer stays flat and the overage follows your measured spend, so a quieter month costs less without a renegotiation. If your spend settles into the next tier, we move you there — which is cheaper than staying where you were, because each tier is priced to take over exactly where the tier below stops being the better deal.

Are tracking and attribution really included?

Yes. First-party tracking, server-side conversion sending, multi-touch attribution, and the client platform are part of the retainer at every tier. Most brands buy those separately from an attribution vendor for between $500 and $5,000 a month on top of their agency fee.

What is the setup fee for?

Implementing first-party tracking on your site, validating the conversion data against your commerce platform, and running the day-zero audit that everything afterwards is measured against. It is a one-time fee, banded by tier because the work is: $1,500–$2,500 on Growth, which is usually one storefront and one set of platforms; $2,500–$5,000 on Scale; $5,000–$7,500 on Premier, where there are typically several brands or regions to wire up; and from $10,000 at Enterprise, where multiple entities, markets, and storefronts have to be reconciled into one measurement layer. Where you land inside your band is quoted before you sign, never after.

Do you produce the creative, or just run it?

We own the creative strategy — what to test, which angles to try next, which assets to retire and when — and that is included at every tier. Production is separate: we brief and direct your team or your studio, and we can bring in a production partner if you do not have one. We would rather be honest about that line than quietly imply a video team is included in a media retainer.

Whose data is it, and what happens if we part ways?

Yours. The ad accounts stay in your name, the tracking runs on your domain, and the conversion data is your business data — we are the processor, not the owner. Ask and we will export your historical performance and customer data in a usable format. Nothing about the arrangement is designed to make leaving expensive.

Can I keep the attribution tool I already pay for?

You can, and some clients run both for a period to compare. We will not ask you to cancel anything as a condition of working together. What we will do is reconcile our numbers against your existing source and show you where and why they differ.

How is the revenue baseline set?

Together, from your own commerce data, during the setup window and before anything goes live. Normally it is the trailing three-month average of your net monthly revenue, written into the contract. If your business is seasonal we set it against the same months last year instead, so a normal December counts as a normal December and only beating last season counts as growth. Net means after refunds, returns, discounts, and cancellations — the number your finance team recognizes, not a gross top line. You see the calculation and agree it before signature, which is the whole point of doing it during setup rather than in arrears.

Why 2%, and what stops it getting expensive?

Four things. It is a small share to begin with — you keep 98% of every new pound of revenue. It applies only to revenue above the baseline, so the business you already had is never charged for. It is capped at one month of your fee, whatever happens, so the worst case is that your total doubles in a month where your revenue grew by far more than that. And past that cap your share goes up rather than down: the fee stops moving while the month keeps growing, so on a very large month you keep well over 98% of it. The cap is the client's floor, not our ceiling.

What if revenue falls, or a month goes badly?

You pay the retainer and nothing else. The growth fee has a floor of zero — it is never negative, and there is no clawback of growth fees from earlier months if a later one softens. A bad quarter costs you the retainer you already agreed to, which is exactly what a retainer is for.

Why a share of revenue and not of profit?

Because revenue is the number we can both see in the same place on the same day, and margin is the number that invites an argument every quarter. That said, if you run a genuinely thin-margin business the revenue line can be the wrong shape — we already track cost of goods for margin-aware bidding, so we will structure it as a share of gross profit instead. Ask on the call; it is a change to your contract, not a change to this page.

What about growth we would have had anyway?

Some of it is genuinely yours, and we are not going to pretend otherwise — no measurement separates our contribution from a good product cycle with total confidence. Three things keep it fair. The share is deliberately small enough that being slightly wrong in either direction costs you very little. It cuts both ways: in a month that goes badly we earn nothing extra, with no clawback of the good months. And the annual review moves the baseline up toward wherever the business has settled, so growth that turns out to be yours stops being charged for within a year or two.

Do I pay the growth fee forever?

No. Every twelve months we review the baseline together and move it up halfway to where the business now sits. So if we grow you and the business then holds at that level, the growth fee halves, halves again the year after, and fades out — you stop paying for a win we delivered in year one. If you keep growing, the fee keeps reflecting the new growth, because that is the part we are still driving. We chose the halfway step rather than a full annual reset for an honest reason: a full reset would have paid us better when growth collapsed and had to be rebuilt than when it held, and we did not want that incentive anywhere near the advice we give you.

How and when is the growth fee billed?

Quarterly in arrears, on revenue that has already landed in your account, with the working shown against the same commerce data you can see in your dashboard. The retainer stays monthly. We bill the growth share behind the revenue rather than ahead of it so you are never paying us out of a forecast.

Do you work on revenue share or performance-only deals?

The growth share above is our version of one, and it is on every published tier. What we do not do is performance-only — no base, paid purely on attributed conversions. That model pushes an agency toward whatever is easiest to claim credit for rather than whatever grows the business, and it makes the honest recommendation (spend less here, fix the landing page, wait for the data) the one that costs us money. Our growth fee avoids that because it is measured on your total business revenue against a written baseline, not on what a platform reports it caused. At Enterprise the whole structure is negotiable, including a larger share against a smaller base.

Which currency will I be billed in?

Whichever of USD, GBP, or EUR you choose at contract. The figures are the same in each — 3,950 is 3,950 — and the spend allowances are quoted in the same currency, so the effective rate you pay is identical whichever one you pick. UK and EU prices exclude VAT.
