Demand

Marketing that is accountable to the P&L. We are as willing to tell you to stop spending as to spend more — which is the only condition under which the advice is worth anything.

01/Symptoms

You are probably reading this because:

  • Leads are up and revenue is flat.


  • The agency reports on impressions, reach and engagement, and none of them appear in the accounts.


  • Cost per acquisition is known; contribution margin per acquisition is not.


  • Every channel claims the same conversions and the total exceeds the number of orders.

02/The work
  1. 01

    Unit economics first

    What a customer is worth, over what period, at what margin, in which segment. Until that number exists, every budget decision is a guess with a dashboard attached.


  2. 02

    Channel work

    Paid search and social, marketplaces, partnerships and lifecycle. Run against contribution rather than volume, and cut without ceremony where the contribution is not there.


  3. 03

    Positioning and message

    Most underperforming campaigns are correctly executed campaigns for the wrong proposition. We test the claim before scaling the spend behind it.


  4. 04

    Attribution that reconciles

    A measurement model whose totals match the accounting, with the limits of the model stated. Approximately right and honest beats precisely wrong.

03/What you get
  • 01

    Unit economics by segment and channel

  • 02

    A channel plan with the thresholds at which each is cut or scaled

  • 03

    Creative and message testing with results, including the negative ones

  • 04

    Reporting that reconciles with the accounts

Invariant

Spend follows contribution margin, not volume.

04/Questions
Do you run the campaigns or advise on them?
Both. Some clients need the strategy and have the team; others need us to run it. What does not change is that the reporting reconciles with the finance numbers.

What is the minimum sensible budget?
Below roughly AED 30,000 a month in media, the honest answer is usually to fix the process, the base and the CRM first — that work returns more at that spend level.
