One operator · 14+ brands · Gold Coast

The ecommerce agency alternative

I run the account myself.

Sprints from $2,500 · retainers from $4,500/mo—every number’s published.

I handle the paid media, email, analytics and creative calls across 14+ brands. You brief the person doing the work, and the decision doesn’t disappear into a ticket queue.

Goes straight to me, Michael. No newsletter, no sales call.

I take a handful each week so I can read the store properly.

A REAL EXAMPLE

Here's what you'd get back.

A short, specific read in your inbox within a day, with no call to sit through. This sample uses a skincare label. Yours will use your store.

Here are the first three things I'd do differently to the agency layer—

  1. 1
    Where the budget's actually going. Your agency reports on blended ROAS and calls it a day—I'd rebuild the numbers on real profit after COGS, shipping and returns, so you'd finally see which campaigns earn and which just look busy.
    Sprint · from $2,500
  2. 2
    The three-week wait on every change. A tweak that should take an afternoon crawls through their queue—I'd sit in the account myself and make the call the same day, so nothing good is stuck waiting on someone else's ticket.
    Retainer · from $4,500/mo
  3. 3
    Your best customers, treated like everyone else. The agency blasts one email to the whole list—I'd segment on who actually buys and what they buy, so your repeat buyers hear from you differently to a first-timer who's still deciding.
    Retainer · from $4,500/mo

We'd start with the one that's costing you most, and you'd see the working before anything changes.—Michael
