Every founder we met was having the same week. The advertising report said ACoS was down. The finance spreadsheet said profit was down too. Nobody could explain both at once, because the person who understood the campaigns had never seen a landed cost and the person who understood the margins had never opened Campaign Manager.
That gap is not a tooling problem. It is an ownership problem. So we built a team where the advertising lead, the content lead and the operations lead sit in the same weekly review, looking at one model that starts with contribution margin per ASIN and works outwards to the levers that move it.
It makes us slower to start and harder to sell. The first four weeks of any engagement produce a document rather than a dashboard. But it means that when we recommend increasing spend on a product, we already know what that product earns after fees, freight, returns and advertising — and when we recommend discontinuing one, we can show you why.
We are not trying to be the biggest Amazon agency. We are trying to be the one whose numbers you can hand to your board without a translation layer.
