The agency

Travail(n.) work; the effort behind the result.

One team for the part of your business that sells online.

You might be a pure online brand. You might be a retailer, a wholesaler or a studio with a shop bolted onto something older. Either way the e-commerce side tends to get run in pieces: ads bought by one person, the site built by another, the list emailed when a quarter starts to look thin.

Optimized separately, those pieces stop adding up. We take the online side whole: acquisition, discovery and retention against a single growth model built from your margins. The customer paid media buys is the one lifecycle keeps, and the pages SEO ranks are the pages that close.

It is the only work we take. That focus is the point, and it is why we cap what we take on rather than filling the roster.

Core services

Three channels. One growth system.

Take one, take all three. Every engagement is a monthly retainer with a fixed fee, a named team and reporting you can hand straight to your accountant.

SEO Optimization

Technical · Content · Authority

Own the searches your customers make before they buy.

We make your store the result search engines rank and shoppers click. Deep keyword and intent analysis maps every collection to what people actually search before they buy, then we clear the technical faults holding those pages back.

  • Technical audit: crawl, index bloat, Core Web Vitals, schema
  • Collection & product page optimization at scale
  • Keyword-to-revenue mapping by commercial intent
  • Content production: 4 optimized pieces per month
  • Digital PR outreach & authority building

Monthly retainer

$750

per month

2-month minimum. SEO compounds, it does not sprint.

Email & SMS Marketing

Klaviyo · Postscript · Attentive

Turn one purchase into a purchasing habit.

We turn the list you already own into repeat revenue. Granular segmentation and constant copy testing keep flows and campaigns personal at scale: welcome, abandonment, post-purchase and winback all earning while you sleep.

  • Klaviyo / Postscript build, migration & audit
  • Core flows: welcome, browse & cart abandon, post-purchase, winback
  • 8–12 designed campaigns per month across email and SMS
  • List growth: pop-ups, quizzes, compliant SMS capture
  • Segmentation, subject-line testing & deliverability monitoring

Monthly retainer

Pricing

Flat monthly fees.
No percentage of spend.

You pay for the work, never a percentage of your ad budget. Paid media sits in fixed bands that step up only as the spend we manage grows, so a good month on ROAS stays your win, not a bigger invoice. Short initial terms, then month to month.

Individual retainers are listed with each service above. Take all three together and they come as one team, below.

How we work

Strategy Execute Optimize Scale

The same four stages every engagement runs through, so you always know what we are doing, why, and what comes next.

  1. 01Weeks 1–2

    Strategy

    We audit your accounts, margins and customer data, then build a growth model that shows exactly where the next dollar of revenue comes from, and what it can cost to get it.

  2. 02Weeks 3–6

    Execute

    Campaigns, flows and pages go live. Tracking is rebuilt server-side so every decision after this point rests on numbers you can actually trust.

  3. 03Ongoing

    Optimize

    Weekly creative and offer testing. We cut what loses fast, scale what wins, and report against contribution margin instead of platform-reported ROAS.

  4. 04Month 3+

    Scale

    Once unit economics hold, we widen the aperture to new channels, new geographies and new audiences, without letting acquisition cost outrun profit.

Why work with us

Six reasons to hand
us the account.

Agencies are easy to hire and easier to fire. What keeps one around is unglamorous: senior people, honest numbers, and a plan that holds up against your margins.

01

E-commerce only

You may well sell elsewhere too. The online side is the only part we take.

02

Profit, not ROAS

Platform dashboards flatter everybody. We report what actually lands in the bank.

03

No handoff

Whoever pitches you runs your account. Same person in month twelve.

04

Creative included

Ads and emails built in-house. Creative is the lever, so we never sell it back to you.

05

One team, one plan

Paid, SEO and email pull the same direction, so acquisition feeds retention.

06

Straight answers

If a month goes badly you hear it from us first, with the fix attached.
