Every project begins with a question: who is actually buying from you, and where are they making decisions? The cases below show what changes when the strategy starts there.

[ 01 ] The Question · Strategy & Planning — 6 weeks
The question no one asked.
A fashion brand was spending mostly in Google Ads and wondering why sales started to slide. We started with the most obvious question: "Who exactly are your customers?" The relief on their faces when they admitted they were not sure was telling.
- Reality check
- No agency had really pressed who their actual customers are.
- The problem
- Marketing to specialties of the agency, not where people are.
- 01What they thought"More spend in Google would yield more sales."
- 02What analytics showedSales were flat or slumping despite higher spend.
- 03Market research revealedTrouble expanding cohorts beyond direct response.
"We realized we had been focused so far down the funnel, we were losing who our brand could actually fit. That one question changed everything about how we approach marketing." — President, Sustainable Fashion Brand
[ 02 ] The Rebuild · Implementation — 8 weeks
Building around real humans.
Once we knew who was actually buying, everything changed. We rebuilt their entire approach around data instead of assumptions, targeting the right people with the right message on the platforms where they actually made decisions.
- The shift
- From guessing to targeting with precision.
- The method
- Audience-first strategy with real attribution.
- 01Platform pivotShifted budget from Google Ads to Social to expand and focus on a younger cohort.
- 02Message reframeFrom "product shoots" to "lifestyle shoots."
- 03Attribution setupConnected all platforms to actual sales data for the first time.
"Suddenly we could see an expansion of sales again with focus in other platforms and an increase in a younger demographic." — President, Sustainable Apparel Brand

Case Study · Q1 2026 — updated August 2026
What the automation actually moved.
An employee-owned organic apparel brand ($4–5M DTC) came to us with reporting built by hand and geo targeting built on guesswork. We automated the reporting layer and rebuilt geo targeting around a matched test-and-control design, then measured what changed.
This is the same discipline behind our AI automation work: instrument the funnel, automate the reporting, and act on what the data says.
