Sample dataIllustrative only — not client results
No borrowed credibility — here is how we actually operate.
We are a young agency, and we would rather be judged on how we work than on logos we cannot yet show you. These are the four commitments every engagement is held to.
No borrowed credibility
We are a young agency, and we would rather be judged on how we work than on logos we cannot yet show you. Every claim on this site is backed by verifiable data or clearly marked as representative. We will never inflate numbers, hide losses, or present others' results as our own.
Your budget is our budget
We treat every taka of your ad spend as if it were our own money. That means we do not chase vanity metrics, we do not run campaigns that do not have a clear path to profitability, and we do not recommend spending more just because the budget is there. If we believe a campaign is not working, we will tell you — even if it means recommending you spend less.
Radical transparency
You always have full access to your ad accounts, your data, and your results. We do not hide behind dashboards or jargon. Every decision we make is documented, every result is reported honestly, and every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it. If we make a mistake, we own it and fix it.
Results over retainers
We do not believe in long-term lock-in contracts. Our goal is to earn your business every single month by delivering measurable results. If we are not performing, you should not have to pay us. That is why most of our clients stay with us for years — not because they are locked in, but because they choose to.

Advertising only works when strategy, creative, and measurement agree with each other. We cover all five disciplines in-house so nothing falls between suppliers.

Trusted by 200+ of the world's top brands
We publish client names, logos, and performance figures only with written permission. Where results are not yet verified, the entry is marked as representative and no specific numbers are claimed.
How we work: four stages, each one earning the next.
Nothing launches until tracking is validated and the plan is approved. It is a slower first fortnight and a considerably faster six months.
- 01
Discover
We start by understanding your business, your market, and your goals. We analyze your current setup, review your product catalog, and identify the biggest opportunities for growth. This phase is about gathering the information we need to build a strategy that actually works for your specific situation.
- Business and market analysis
- Customer segmentation framework
- Competitive landscape review
- Growth opportunity assessment
- 02
Build
With a clear strategy in place, we build the foundation. This means setting up your ad account structure, installing tracking, creating your first campaigns, and producing initial creative assets. Everything is built with scalability in mind — we are not just launching ads, we are building a system.
- Account structure and setup
- Tracking and analytics implementation
- Initial campaign creation
- Creative asset production
- 03
Test
We launch with a structured testing framework. Multiple creative variations, audience segments, and ad formats are tested simultaneously. We give each test enough budget to reach statistical significance, then analyze the results to identify what works and what does not. This is where we find your winning formula.
- Creative testing results
- Audience performance analysis
- Winning ad combinations identified
- Optimization recommendations
- 04
Scale
With proven winners in hand, we scale aggressively but carefully. Budgets are increased incrementally, new audiences are tested, and creative is refreshed to combat fatigue. We monitor closely to ensure that scaling does not degrade performance, and we adjust in real-time based on data.
- Scaled campaign performance
- Expanded audience reach
- Optimized cost per acquisition
- Sustainable growth trajectory
Working fit — we are right for some businesses, and wrong for others
Saying this upfront is better for both of us. If you recognise yourself in the left column, the call is worth having.
Strong fit
- You already spend on Meta and want the spend to work harder
- You sell a product or service with margin that can absorb ad cost
- You can fulfil more orders or enquiries than you get today
- You want the reasoning behind decisions, not just a dashboard
- You are prepared to test creative as a system, not as one-off posts
- You have a product with proven demand and healthy margins
- You are willing to invest at least 150,000 BDT per month
- You can provide product information and access to your ad accounts
Probably not a fit
- You want the cheapest possible post boosting
- You need guaranteed sales figures before any test has run
- Tracking cannot be installed and nobody can give us account access
- You are looking for follower growth rather than revenue
- You want to approve every ad individually, weeks in advance
- Your product has no proven demand or product-market fit
- You are not willing to invest the minimum budget required
- You expect results within the first week of launching
Still unsure which side you fall on? Ask us on a call — we will tell you honestly, even when the answer is no.

How to Test Creative Without Guessing
Most brands test ads by gut feeling. Here is a structured approach that tells you exactly which creative elements drive performance.

Advertising to Bangladeshi Buyers: What Actually Works
The Bangladesh market has unique characteristics that change how you should run Meta Ads. Here is what we have learned from running campaigns in this market.
Common questions, answered before the first call.
If your question is not here, ask it directly — we would rather answer it now than have it become a reason not to talk.
How much should I budget for Meta Ads in Bangladesh?
For most e-commerce brands in Bangladesh, we recommend starting with at least 150,000 to 200,000 BDT per month. This gives the algorithm enough data to optimize effectively. Below that, you are essentially testing with insufficient budget to reach statistical significance. The right budget depends on your average order value and target cost per acquisition — we can calculate this for your specific business on a strategy call.
How long before I see results from Meta Ads?
You will see initial data within the first week, but meaningful results typically take 4 to 6 weeks. The first two weeks are the learning phase where the algorithm is gathering data. By week 4, we should have identified winning creative and audience combinations. By week 6 to 8, we are scaling what works. Brands that expect results in the first week usually make poor decisions based on insufficient data.
Do I need to provide creative assets, or do you handle that?
We handle everything. Our creative team produces video ads, static images, and copy variations. We test multiple angles and formats to find what resonates with your target audience. You only need to provide product information, brand guidelines, and any existing assets you want us to incorporate. If you have specific products you want to feature, just let us know.
What platforms do you manage besides Meta Ads?
We specialize in Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) because that is where the highest ROI is for e-commerce brands in Bangladesh. We also set up and manage Google Ads for brands that want to capture search demand, and TikTok Ads for brands targeting younger demographics. However, we recommend mastering Meta Ads first before expanding to other platforms.
How do you report results?
You get a weekly performance report every Monday covering spend, revenue, ROAS, cost per purchase, and key insights. We also provide a monthly deep-dive with recommendations for the next month. You always have access to your live Meta Ads dashboard, and we are available for questions via email or WhatsApp between reports.
What happens if the campaigns are not profitable?
We start with a clear profitability target based on your margins. If campaigns are not hitting that target after the initial optimization period (typically 4 to 6 weeks), we have a structured review process. We analyze what is not working, adjust the strategy, and if necessary, recommend pausing and rethinking the approach. We would rather tell you honestly that something is not working than keep spending your budget on underperforming campaigns.
Can I pause or stop the campaigns at any time?
Yes. You can pause or stop campaigns at any time with 30 days notice. We do not believe in long-term lock-in contracts. Our goal is to earn your business every month by delivering results. If you need to pause for inventory, seasonal reasons, or budget constraints, just let us know.
What information do you need from me to get started?
To get started, we need access to your Meta Ads account (or we can create one for you), your Facebook Business Manager, your product catalog or key products, your target cost per acquisition or monthly budget, and your brand guidelines. We will also ask about your current customers, average order value, and delivery coverage. The more information you provide, the faster we can optimize.
