Ecommerce & DTC
Profitable growth, not just top-line revenue
Plenty of ecommerce brands can buy revenue. Far fewer can buy it profitably after shipping, returns, COGS and discounting. We manage to contribution margin, because that is the number that keeps the business solvent.
That means the boring work: retention economics, repeat purchase rate, creative volume, and a clear read on which channel actually caused the order.

Where it breaks
What usually brings you here
- ROAS looks fine but the business is not making money
- Rising acquisition cost with flat average order value
- Creative fatigue outpacing the team's production capacity
- Attribution disagreeing across platforms after tracking changes
- No retention program, so every month starts from zero
- Product pages and category pages invisible in organic search
How we move it
Three levers we pull first
Manage to margin
Blended acquisition cost, contribution margin and payback period as the operating metrics, with spend allocated against them weekly.
Earn organic demand
Category, product and comparison content built to capture purchase intent that does not carry an ad cost with it.
Make the second order happen
Lifecycle email and SMS built around repeat purchase rate and lifetime value, which is where a DTC brand's actual profit comes from.
What we run here
The modules we run for ecommerce
Demand
Paid media
Search, social and display managed like a portfolio - spend moves to whichever channel is returning, every week.
Discovery
SEO & content
Rankings that turn into pipeline. Technical foundations first, then content built around what your buyers actually search.
Conversion
Websites & conversion
The fastest gains usually come from the traffic you already have. We rebuild the path from click to inquiry.
Signal
Analytics & attribution
One source of truth. If a report can't be traced back to revenue, we don't build it.
Lifecycle
Email & lifecycle
Turning a list into repeat revenue with sequences that respond to behavior instead of the calendar.
Groups & portfolios
Running more than one location?
Multi-location operators and private equity backed groups have a different problem: not one market, but a portfolio where performance has to be comparable across every property and defensible at board level.
Standardized across locations
One playbook deployed per site, so results can be compared instead of explained away.
Rolled-up reporting
Portfolio-level performance with per-location detail underneath, in one view.
Budget allocated on return
Spend moves between properties based on where the incremental dollar performs.
Built for diligence
Clean attribution and documented process that hold up under investor scrutiny.
