Amsive Success Story
Challenge: VOSS, a once iconic luxury water brand, faced an image challenge — despite its sleek design, the brand was perceived as superficial. To regain its prestige and appeal to a new generation of discerning consumers, VOSS needed to shift its focus to the quality and natural origin of its water.
Solution: Using Audience Science, Amsive analyzed VOSS's audience to understand brand perceptions and media habits. Based on these insights, the agency developed a new brand positioning and launched the 'It’s What’s on the Inside' platform to highlight VOSS’s premium quality. This was supported by a creative media campaign across digital, social, TV, and premium media placements.
Results: Within a few months, VOSS achieved an impressive 20% sales growth and a whopping 344% YoY increase in its Amazon sales. The integrated campaign reached 38.5 million people, generated 137 million impressions, and successfully reestablished VOSS as a leader in quality and luxury.

Through holistic omnichannel strategies, MuteSix provides consistent, compelling messaging across platforms, driving sustained engagement and success.
MuteSix Success Story
Challenge: Dave, a popular banking app, wanted to boost activations for its key revenue-generating in-app event, “Summer of Dave,” and improve its return on ad spend (ROAS) across paid social and paid search campaigns.
Solution: MuteSix helped Dave improve its average revenue per user (ARPU) and ROAS by optimizing its paid social and search campaigns. The performance marketing company focused on lower-funnel events, created engaging short-form video content for Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat, and implemented keyword-level bidding to ramp up interest for “Summer of Dave,”. Additionally, it broke out creative assets into separate ad groups to identify and scale the most effective ad creatives.
Results: Dave achieved a 53% increase in ARPU and a substantial 184% growth in revenue from the paid social and paid search campaigns. Despite a 102% increase in spend, it still managed to improve its ROAS by 41%.
Wpromote is an independent performance advertising agency that redefines growth by challenging conventional approaches to media and marketing.

Having received over 56 awards from industry leaders like Adweek and AdAge, Wpromote continues to drive results with innovation and top-tier industry partnerships, including Google Premier and Meta Business.
Wpromote Success Story
Challenge: As Hibbett’s online business became a major revenue driver, the retailer wanted to create a social media strategy that would boost brand awareness and establish Hibbett as a top destination for sporting brands. But rising acquisition costs and declining engagement on platforms like Snapchat, Meta, and Instagram presented some challenges.
Solution: Wpromote discovered that Hibbett’s repetitive, one-size-fits-all creative assets were impacting profitability. To address this, the performance-based marketing agency developed a fresh, data-driven creative strategy focused on boosting profitability at a lower cost. The new approach involved deploying unique, audience-specific creative assets with tailored visuals, personalized messaging, and optimized landing pages.
Results: The brand’s revamped full-funnel creative strategy led to a substantial increase in return on ad spend and greater efficiencies across channels, achieving a 40% improvement in full-funnel ROAS, 1.7x more efficient cost per acquisition, and 1.3x growth in total captured revenue.
Obility is a performance marketing agency dedicated to helping B2B tech companies achieve data-driven growth. Specializing in performance marketing services like paid search, paid social, and SEO, the company focuses on enhancing lead quality and accelerating pipeline growth. With years of experience managing thousands of B2B campaigns, Obility uses proven strategies to deliver high-performance, multi-channel results. Its expert team in B2B digital marketing and marketing operations is committed to empowering tech and SaaS companies with seamless revenue attribution and measurable success.
Obility Success Story
Challenge: A B2B software company, operating in the competitive DTC and fulfillment industry, encountered challenges due to budgetary constraints and a lack of high-quality traffic. Despite generating a substantial volume of conversions, the number of qualified opportunities and leads remained low.
Solution: Obility implemented offline conversion tracking to identify which conversions were leading to valuable opportunities so it could adjust the paid search strategy accordingly. The performance-based marketing company then focused on bottom-of-the-funnel (BOFU) users by refining keyword targeting and prioritizing core campaigns and demo request landing pages. Offline conversion tracking also optimized bidding strategies for a more effective allocation of resources.
Results: The BOFU-centric paid search strategy was efficient and drove more qualified traffic. Despite a 32% decrease in paid search spend quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), lead quality improved significantly:
133% increase in number of opportunities
61% increase in lead-to-MQL (marketing qualified lead) rate

M&C Saatchi Performance’s expertise in app store optimization, data analytics, commerce media, and product-led growth guides a strategy rooted in testing, learning, and optimizing to achieve results-driven performance.
M&C Saatchi Performance Success Story
Challenge: When Singapore went into lockdown during COVID-19, hawker centers struggled. GrabFood recognized an opportunity to support these traditional food stalls and shift customer perceptions around app-based ordering, addressing concerns of higher costs and limited choices.
Solution: M&C Saatchi Performance launched a multi-channel campaign to raise awareness of GrabFood's benefits for merchants, customers, and delivery riders. The campaign included engaging videos, the use of digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising near residential areas, and targeting specific audiences on social media, streaming platforms, and YouTube. To help drive sales, the performance marketing company focused on retargeting existing users through Facebook and the Remerge platform.
Results: The campaign achieved 4.5 million offline views and a 35.7% online view-through rate (VTR). GrabFood successfully onboarded 50 hawker centers in Singapore onto its app, which enabled the food stall owners to serve loyal customers and reach new audiences digitally, resulting in a 65% increase in their sales.
Notable clients: The Lighting Co., Miele, Smiggle, Super Casino, Freedom Finance

Circus PPC Success Story
Challenge: The Lighting Company was looking to increase its revenue. It had set initial cost of sale (COS) targets and partnered with a performance marketing company to help allocate its ad budget effectively to drive performance and sales.
Solution: Circus PPC quickly rebuilt and optimized the client's existing Performance Max campaigns, created a new shopping feed, and made ongoing adjustments to further enhance performance, including expanding the product feed to 20,000 items, creating new ads, and optimizing the Performance Max and Merchant Center feed. It continued working towards the COS targets by making product fixes, streamlining the checkout process, and testing new assets.

The performance-based marketing agency boasts impressive success metrics, including over $1B in measurable revenue unlocked, an 80% client retention rate, and 65% of clients doubling their revenue within six months.
NoGood Success Story
Challenge: Payzer developed Payzerware, a business management platform for contractors that streamlines key operations like scheduling, invoicing, and sales proposals. The company faced several challenges, including monetizing free users, expanding its reach, and boosting awareness. Payzer also struggled with optimizing creative content, refining audience targeting, and finding the right balance between customer acquisition and retention efforts.
Solution: NoGood developed a performance marketing strategy that addressed all the client's pain points, including crafting personalized ad creatives for different contractors (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical), implementing precise audience targeting, multi-channel paid campaigns, and optimizing A/B testing.
Results: The multi-channel strategy boosted Payzer's sales-qualified leads (SQLs) by 21% month-over-month, delivered an impressive 46% increase in conversion rate, and achieved a 30% improvement in click-through rate (CTR).

Challenge: AED Market operates in a highly competitive industry, selling AEDs and defibrillators on a limited budget. To sustain business growth and reinvest in future marketing efforts, the company needed a cost-effective and more targeted approach to optimize its advertising efforts.
Solution: To tackle the challenge, JumpFly enhanced product feed data by adding unique identifiers and migrating to a daily feed import. The campaign was restructured with brand-specific ad groups and negative keywords, while remarketing and in-market audiences were implemented to target specific customer segments. These strategies aimed to improve ad relevancy, bidding efficiency, and overall campaign performance.
Results: The performance advertising agency’s campaign overhaul and new strategy proved successful and delivered remarkable results for AED Market:

The goal was to increase brand awareness and position FOREO as the top choice in the beauty device market.
Solution: Brenton Way implemented data-driven targeted audience segmentation and personalized content.

Power Digital Success Story
Challenge: Soccerloco, a premier retailer of soccer gear, wanted to attract highly qualified traffic to its site and boost conversions. With a strong brand and top-quality products, the company aimed to significantly grow its online sales and revenue.
Solution: After a thorough analysis, Power Digital found that the client had challenges in generating non-branded revenue, particularly in organic search. The performance advertising agency overhauled SoccerLoco's indexing strategy to improve competitiveness and implemented a new content approach. The agency then secured high-quality PR placements, averaging 10 per month, and promoted high-value items through traditional text and Google Shopping ads.
Results: In just a few months, Soccerloco experienced a 15% boost in conversion rates, leading to a 29% increase in transactions and a 42% growth in revenue.

A performance marketing agency is an agency that manages and optimizes digital marketing campaigns across various channels to achieve performance goals, like increased conversions and maximized return on investment (ROI).
People may confuse performance marketing with paid media marketing, like pay-per-click (PPC). While the latter focuses on creating brand awareness and generating traffic, performance marketing services concentrate on generating measurable results and a positive ROI. PPC and other paid advertising efforts, and even SEO, are considered part of performance marketing.
Some companies may also believe that handling performance marketing in-house will save them money, but it's more complex than merely launching ads across different platforms. For example, about 35.7% of global online users use ad blockers, which can significantly reduce the effectiveness of online advertising efforts. This statistic highlights just one of the many challenges that performance marketing companies are equipped to handle expertly:
Inadequate expertise across various aspects of performance marketing
Insufficient grasp of digital marketing strategies and industry best practices
Difficulty with ad bidding and related strategies, leading to inefficient ad spend
Lack of manpower and low budget for necessary tools and technologies
Limited access to advanced marketing and analytics tools that hinder campaign performance
Struggling to scale campaigns quickly in response to market changes or business needs
Inexperience in analyzing complex data sets to effectively optimize campaigns
Inability to measure results and track ROI across various digital marketing campaigns
Difficulty keeping up with fast-evolving trends, making it hard to remain competitive
Lack of access to valuable industry networks and partnerships that could enhance marketing efforts
Statista estimates that global digital advertising spending will reach $646 billion in 2024 and skyrocket to a whopping $870.85 billion by 2027. What this means is the battle to win customers will be even tougher, especially for small businesses with limited resources.
Success story
You may have a marketing target, but knowing the right strategy and metrics to use can be a complex thing. We chose the following case study to demonstrate how a performance marketing company’s expertise successfully guided a business toward achieving its year-on-year (YoY) revenue goals:
Challenge: AHLA Insurance heavily relied on year-over-year performance data to track growth in policy purchases, revenue, customer acquisition cost (CAC), and return on ad spend (ROAS). However, in 2023, it encountered revenue and profitability challenges, including rising cost per click (CPC) on Google Ads and inconsistent tracking on Microsoft Ads.
Solution: To address AHLA's revenue goals, Black Propeller implemented a focused paid search strategy on Google and Microsoft Ads, prioritizing core insurance products, such as vacant land insurance policy. The performance marketing agency also leveraged Google Ad’s Performance Max to expand reach and revenue and launched a YouTube video remarketing campaign targeting site visitors who hadn't completed a purchase.
Results: The strategy resulted in a remarkable 151% increase in policy purchases for core insurance products through paid search, while vacant land policy purchases rose by 74%. AHLA's total YoY revenue from paid search got a significant boost of 136%.
What do performance marketing agencies do?
Performance marketing agencies help businesses optimize their online marketing efforts to achieve desired results, such as clicks, leads, traffic, and sales. They often use pay-per-click (PPC), affiliate marketing, and social media ads, to effectively reach and engage the target audiences and turn them into qualified leads or loyal customers.
Here are the performance marketing services typically offered by performance advertising agencies:
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising Managing and optimizing campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and Bing Ads to drive targeted traffic
Search engine optimization (SEO) Improving website visibility in organic search results through on-page and off-page optimization techniques
Social media advertising Creating and managing ad campaigns on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to reach specific demographics
Affiliate marketing Partnering with other businesses or content creators to promote the brand’s products or services, while offering commissions on generated sales
Email marketing Creating and implementing email campaigns that engage customers, nurture leads, and drive conversions
Content marketing Creating high-quality content like blog posts, articles, and videos to attract and engage target audiences
Video marketing Creating and promoting video content to enhance brand awareness and engagement across various platforms
Conversion rate optimization (CRO) Analyzing the performance of websites and landing pages to identify areas for improvement and increase conversions, such as sign-ups or purchases
Programmatic advertising Using automated technology to buy and sell digital advertising space in real-time auctions, allowing advertisers to target specific audiences more efficiently
Retargeting/remarketing Implementing strategies to re-engage users who have previously interacted with the brand but did not convert
Data analytics and reporting Tracking and analyzing campaign performance metrics to measure its effectiveness and identify optimization opportunities
Success story
Even established brands sometimes experience a slump in their marketing efforts and turn to performance marketing agencies for a successful turnaround. We chose this case study as an example:
Challenge: National Public Radio (NPR), a prominent media brand, relies on corporate sponsorships to sustain its operations. Its subsidiary, National Public Media (NPM), aimed to improve its sponsorship acquisition efforts by lowering the cost per acquisition (CPA) and driving more conversions through its website's landing page.
Solution: KlientBoost, a performance marketing company, developed a comprehensive marketing plan to attain its objectives within a three-month timeframe. The plan included a variety of tactics like single keyword ad groups strategy, smart ad bidding, attribution research and modification, and breadcrumb technique.
Results: Within just two weeks, the campaign delivered impressive results:
1,485% increase in conversion volume
94% boost in conversion rate
21% decrease in cost per click (CPC)
38% increase in clickthrough rate (CTR)
How much do performance marketing companies charge for their services?
The costs for performance marketing services vary depending on the strategies used (e.g., PPC, SEO, email marketing) and the campaign objectives (e.g., ROAS, CAC, traffic, conversions). Therefore, there are no standard rates for a performance marketing package, as agencies customize their pricing based on specific business needs and goals.
However, since performance marketing falls under the umbrella of digital marketing, agencies generally charge between $2,000 and $20,000 or more per month. Below is a breakdown of typical costs for the most commonly used performance marketing services:
PPC advertising: up to $10,000 per month
Email marketing: $500-$5,000 per month
SEO: $1,500-$5,000 per month
Affiliate marketing: 5-30% of affiliate revenue
Why should I hire a performance marketing agency?
You should hire a performance marketing agency because it offers expertise to fine-tune and maximize your marketing campaigns and deliver successful results. For example, it can easily identify the most effective channels to run your ads based on where your customers are searching — whether it’s Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

Success story
We chose this case study to show the challenges of in-house performance marketing, and how a skilled agency rescued a struggling campaign and recovered wasted ad spend:
Challenge: An eCommerce company was draining its ad budgets on inefficient Amazon campaigns. To turn the tide, it hired a performance marketing agency to lower its advertising cost of sale (ACoS) and boost campaign performance.
Solution: JumpFly launched Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns on Amazon and implemented both automated and manual targeting strategies. To beat the high ACoS, the performance marketing company analyzed search term reports to identify and eliminate underperforming keywords and reduce wasteful spending.
Results: By structuring the campaigns better and implementing Amazon best practices like negative keywords tactics, the client reduced its overall ACoS by over 26% within the first two months while also cutting monthly ad spend by nearly 54%. There was also a remarkable 32% lower ACoS across all JumpFly-built campaigns.

What red flags to watch out for when hiring performance marketing agencies?
Protect your business from costly mistakes and mediocre results by keeping an eye out for these red flags when hiring a performance marketing agency:
Overpromise success Avoid performance marketing agencies that guarantee immediate results as they often overlook the time it takes to achieve sustainable growth; this can lead to unrealistic expectations.
Lack clearly integrated strategies Avoid single-service agencies or those that focus on only one aspect of advertising or marketing, as they often lack a fully integrated strategy. For example, Google Ads should run simultaneously with social media ads to achieve your conversion goals.
No clear metrics Don't work with a performance marketing company that doesn’t clearly articulate the key performance indicators (KPIs) or ROI, it may not be serious about delivering measurable, data-driven results.
Poor communication skills Don’t consider an agency if it shows poor communication during your initial call. If it’s slow to respond or doesn’t address questions thoroughly, it could signal future communication issues and lack of support.
Relying on complex system for communication Be wary of companies that rely on platforms like Slack or ticketing systems for communication. It shows inflexibility that can hinder timely responses and efficient problem-solving.
Overuse of jargons Skip performance marketing companies that excessively use terminologies or buzzwords without clear explanations because it indicates they’re trying to confuse or impress you, rather than genuinely inform.
Lack of data-driven strategies Watch out for vanity metrics, like follower count, because they don’t contribute to your ROI. A good performance marketing agency should focus on data-driven strategies and provide reports that directly reflect your business goals and impact.
Doesn’t provide ad creatives Beware of performance advertising agencies that only run ads but don't provide the copy or creatives. Effective advertising relies on strong creative elements, and the performance marketing agency should have full control over these aspects to ensure proper testing and optimization.
Poor reviews Be cautious of performance marketing agencies with low ratings or negative reviews. Check verified review platforms like DesignRush or Trustpilot to read authentic client feedback and testimonials.
