The Work, Unpacked

Each project comes with its own set of challenges. Here's a look at how we approached some of them — what we tried, what worked, and what the numbers looked like when the dust settled.

E-Commerce / DTC

Turning a Struggling DTC Brand Into a Seven-Figure Monthly Revenue Machine

The Challenge

A direct-to-consumer fashion brand came to us spending $40K/month on paid ads with a dismal 1.8x ROAS. They were hemorrhaging cash on Meta campaigns that hadn't been optimized in months. Their affiliate program was essentially dormant — a handful of inactive publishers generating almost no sales. Organic traffic was flat, and email was limited to one monthly blast that nobody opened.

Our Approach

We started by auditing everything — ad accounts, analytics, website conversion paths, the whole stack. Found major issues: poor audience segmentation, no creative testing framework, and a landing page that was losing 70% of visitors at the hero section. We rebuilt the paid strategy from scratch. Launched an affiliate recruitment push targeting fashion and lifestyle publishers. Redesigned the email program with 7 automated flows. Fixed 43 on-page SEO issues.

The Outcome

Within six months, monthly revenue went from $180K to $1.2M. ROAS improved from 1.8x to 8.4x on paid media. The affiliate program became the third-largest revenue channel. Organic traffic grew 290% and email revenue hit $165K/month from automated flows alone. The brand went from questioning their marketing spend to reinvesting aggressively in growth.

From Zero Affiliate Revenue to a Six-Figure Monthly Channel in Under a Year

The Challenge

A mid-size SaaS company had been trying to build an affiliate program internally for two years. The result? A total of 12 sign-ups, 3 active affiliates, and $4,200 in cumulative revenue. The program was running on a basic tracking platform with no fraud prevention, no structured payouts, and no publisher support. The internal team was stretched too thin to give it proper attention.

Our Approach

We scrapped the old program and rebuilt it on a proper affiliate platform with robust tracking and fraud detection. Designed a competitive commission structure with performance tiers that incentivized volume. Then we went recruiting — directly reaching out to SaaS review sites, comparison blogs, tech YouTubers, and niche newsletter operators. We onboarded over 120 publishers in the first 90 days, with dedicated support for each one.

The Outcome

The affiliate channel went from $350/month to $142K/month in 11 months. Publisher count grew from 3 to 340+ active affiliates. The program became the company's most cost-efficient acquisition channel, with a blended CPA that was 58% lower than paid search. Fraud rate dropped from an estimated 22% to under 1.5% with our monitoring systems. The CEO now calls it their "best-kept growth secret."

Rebuilding Organic Visibility After a Devastating Algorithm Penalty

The Challenge

A health and wellness brand had been hit by a Google core algorithm update and lost roughly 75% of their organic traffic overnight. Their previous agency had been using questionable link-building tactics — private blog networks, comment spam, and directory blasting — that finally caught up with them. Revenue from organic search dropped from $90K/month to $18K. They were panicking.

Our Approach

Recovery, not shortcuts. We did a complete backlink audit and disavowed over 2,300 toxic links. Rewrote every piece of content on the site to meet E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standards — critical for health-related content. Rebuilt internal linking architecture. Launched a legitimate digital PR campaign that earned links from health publications and news outlets. Submitted a reconsideration request to Google once we were confident the cleanup was thorough.

The Outcome

Recovery took about five months — there's no instant fix for this kind of damage. But the results were worth the wait. Organic traffic recovered to pre-penalty levels and then surpassed them by 40%. Revenue from organic search reached $127K/month — higher than their pre-penalty peak. The new backlink profile is clean, diversified, and growing through earned media. They now rank for 3x more keywords than they did before the penalty hit.

Building a Full-Funnel Lead Gen Engine for a Regional Real Estate Platform

The Challenge

A real estate technology platform was spending $25K/month across Google and Facebook with a cost-per-lead of $187 — well above their target of $80. Their lead quality was poor, with sales reporting that only 1 in every 8 leads was actually qualified. Conversion rates on their landing pages were sitting at 2.1%, and they had no email nurturing in place. They were essentially paying top dollar for leads they couldn't convert.

Our Approach

We redesigned the entire lead funnel. Built new landing pages focused on specific buyer personas rather than one-size-fits-all messaging. Created a lead scoring system to filter qualified prospects from tire-kickers. Implemented a 12-email nurture sequence that educated leads and moved them towards booking a consultation. On the paid side, we restructured campaigns around high-intent keywords and tested 30+ creative variations in the first month alone.

The Outcome

Cost per lead dropped from $187 to $62 — well under their $80 target. Lead quality improved dramatically: the qualified-to-submitted ratio went from 1-in-8 to 1-in-3. Landing page conversion rates went from 2.1% to 7.8%. The email nurture sequence alone converted 23% of previously "dead" leads into booked consultations. Overall pipeline value grew 4x without increasing ad spend.
