Our Process

How we build campaigns that actually work.

Five phases. Transparent at every step. You know exactly what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what result we expect — before any budget is committed.

1
Discovery & Audit
Before we recommend anything, we understand everything. We audit your current advertising performance, review your creative, analyse your attribution data, map your competitive landscape, and interview your key stakeholders. This phase is non-negotiable. We do not build campaigns on assumptions — we build them on evidence.

2
Strategy & Media Plan
A full campaign strategy document before a single dollar of media is committed. Channel mix rationale, budget allocation by channel and funnel stage, audience architecture, KPI framework, attribution methodology, and creative brief — all submitted for your approval. No black box. No trust us. You read it, question it, and approve it before we spend anything.

Creative Development
Concepts, scripts, design, production, and versioning for every channel and format. We produce creative as a system — built to be tested, iterated, and scaled — not as one-off executions that cannot be replicated. Every creative decision is explained in writing and tied back to the strategy that you already approved.

4
Launch & Activation
Campaigns go live with full tracking in place — pixels verified, UTM structure confirmed, conversion events validated, reporting dashboard built and shared. We do not launch until we can measure. The first two weeks include daily monitoring and rapid adjustments before moving to standard optimisation cadence.

5
Optimisation & Reporting
Weekly insight reports written by your account team — not auto-generated PDFs. Monthly strategy reviews where we tell you what is working, what is not, and what we are changing before we change it. Quarterly business reviews that connect campaign performance to your actual business outcomes. All included in your retainer.

Strategy before spend

No media is bought before a written strategy is reviewed and approved.

Transparent media rates

You see every rate we negotiate. We never mark up media.

Weekly human reporting

Reports written by your account team, not auto-generated by the platforms.

Real attribution

Multi-touch measurement and incrementality testing — not last-click guesswork.
