We're not American Uncle's agency. We've been shareholders since day one. Here's what it means to build a brand for ten years with skin in the game.

Electronics online: sell more without a price war
The Amazon comparison takes thirty seconds. What margin is left is decided by offer, content, and after-sales.

Request your diagnosisWhere electronics lose profit fastest
Every product page gets compared against Amazon, marketplaces, and comparison engines in thirty seconds.
Sector conversion averages 1.8%: whoever lands on your product page already has the Amazon tab open.
If you play the price game, margin disappears before traffic turns into profit.
At an average margin of 28%, a price war isn't something you win. It's something you fund.
Product cycles move fast: what sells today can become awkward stock tomorrow.
In tech, customers need to understand why they should buy from you, not just what they should buy.
With an average order of €245, every cart that stalls on doubt leaves ~€175 of value on the table.
Warranties, returns, and post-sale support hit the business harder than ROAS dashboards make it look.
Sector ROAS is 2.8x, before returns, warranties, and support. The real number shows up on the P&L.
In tech, buying traffic isn't enough. You need a credible reason for people to buy from you.
How we work on a tech e‑commerce brand
Treats: product pages compared with Amazon in thirty seconds
Content that shifts the focus from price to value
Comparisons, use cases, demos, tutorials, and clearer messaging designed to explain why customers should buy from you, not just what they're buying.
Treats: margin that disappears in the price war
Bundles and offers that raise AOV and protect margin
We work on accessories, warranties, services, and product combinations so cart value grows without forcing the brand to lean only on discounts.
Treats: the missing reason to buy from you
Remarketing and education for longer decision cycles
Sequences and content built for customers who compare, come back, evaluate, and need more touchpoints before making a decision.
Treats: stock that turns awkward with every product cycle
Launch and catalog management with more control
We help you think through new models, stock pressure, cross-sell, and evergreen categories so the catalog doesn't quietly become a hidden cost.
How we read the account
- Contribution margin and break-even MER
- The guiding metric. We read platform ROAS, we don't steer by it.
- nCAC and margin, every week
- Weekly reading, monthly review. Numbers, not automated reports.
- Founders and seniors on the account
- Names in the contract, no handoff to juniors. Maximum 20 active e‑commerce brands.
- 30-day exit
- No exit penalties. The audit stays yours either way.
A fixed-price audit is the first step, always.

We don't have a published Electronics case yet. These are real results, on the same mechanics.
The questions that matter in your industry
If you're deciding whether it's worth a conversation, start here.
How do you actually differentiate from Amazon?
Not by trying to beat it at its own game. You win through specialization, content that helps people choose, smarter bundles, stronger perceived value, and a buying experience a marketplace cannot replicate well.
Do you work better with hero products or wide catalogs?
Both, as long as demand already exists. On a hero product, we work to raise AOV and create more catalog depth. On wider catalogs, we identify which categories can drive profitable growth instead of spreading budget everywhere.
How do you tell whether the issue is price or perceived value?
We look at conversion, AOV, competitive context, offer structure, and messaging. If traffic comes in but people don't buy, the issue is often not “you're too expensive” but “you haven't made the value clear enough yet”.
What happens in the first call?
We figure out whether the brand is at the right stage and where the first real levers sit. We work best with ecommerce brands between €100k and €10M, with a solid product and margin worth protecting, not with catalogs simply looking for more traffic at any cost.
We've already been burned by an agency. What's different with you?
That's why we don't start with a contract but with a fixed-price audit: contribution margin by category, break-even MER, tracking. Then you get a proposal naming the seniors who will run the account, or a written no. Thirty-day exit.
This report is about the sector. The next one is about your P&L.
We only accept brands where we're confident we can make a real impact.
Ad spend €10k+/month
You already invest in Meta or Google and want to stop budget waste and rising nCAC.
Revenue over €500k/year
Below this threshold a senior fee weighs too much on the P&L. Above it, there is margin worth protecting and scaling.
Validated product-market fit
You have a catalog and an offer the market already buys. We do not work with pre-PMF projects or product tests.
Cost of goods data available
Without COGS, contribution margin cannot be calculated, and without that nothing can be decided.
