Results, not vanity metrics

We're measured on one thing: return.

Every mandate is built around ROI and revenue. Here's a sample of what that has meant for the clients behind our case studies.

Our edge

Why partners trust us with their referrals

The clients you introduce land in expert hands — a modern, AI-assisted stack run by a senior team, not handed to juniors.

◎

AI-driven targeting & bidding

We layer our own optimization on top of Meta and Google's AI — tightening audiences, creative and budget allocation campaign by campaign for the lowest cost per result.

◈

Proprietary ROAS/ROI forecasting

Our in-house ROAS & ROI engine models the expected return before a dollar is spent, so every client knows what "good" looks like from day one.

▦

Live reporting dashboards

Clients see spend, results and ROI in real time. That transparency keeps mandates healthy — and keeps the referrals you send us paying out month after month.

✎

Creative, landing pages & dev in-house

Ads, landing pages and web builds under one roof — no agency hand-offs, faster iteration, and higher conversion on the traffic we buy.

★

Senior, founder-led management

Accounts are run by experienced strategists — the same people who built the results above — not a rotating cast of account juniors.

◴

Focused daily optimization

Our standard mandate budgets just under an hour of senior attention on every account, every working day. Nothing is set-and-forget.

The standard engagement

A proven $2,500/mo model

Most of our recent mandates run on the same simple structure — easy for you to explain, easy for a client to say yes to.

$2,500 /mo

At $150/hr, that's roughly 17 hours of senior work every month — just under an hour of hands-on campaign optimization for every working day.

What you earn

Recurring commission, for the life of the client

Introduce the client once and earn a share of their monthly fee every month they stay — with the richest rates on the standard mandates that fit us best.
