A growth agency
that works
like your own team.
Growthr embeds into client teams and runs growth from the inside: paid media on every channel, creative production and testing, analytics and attribution, and the strategy that ties them together. One rate, no channel brackets, and accountability to CAC and ROAS instead of to deliverables.

Embedded teams sit in the standup.
A traditional agency works from outside on a retainer with handoff meetings. An in-house team has the context but is slow and expensive to build. The embedded model is the third option: an outside team that joins your Slack, your standups, and your tools, and is measured on your growth metrics.
Attribution first
Before spending a dollar: pixel implementation, conversion tracking, UTM architecture, and dashboards. Nothing launches until spend is traceable to a real outcome, because every decision after that depends on it.
Down-funnel optimization
Cost per acquisition at the deepest meaningful event, a funded account or a paying customer rather than a signup, so budget decisions track unit economics instead of vanity metrics.
Weekly creative sprints
The in-house creative team produces and tests new ad variations every week. Down-funnel performance, not opinion, decides which creatives get more budget.

| Engagement | Scope | Billing | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Embedded growth team | Ongoing paid media, creative testing, strategy, analytics, pipelines, dashboards, and reporting | $10,000/month + 10% of managed media spend | Teams that need ongoing execution |
| Advisory | A focused 60-minute strategy session | $250 per session | A specific decision or second opinion |
| SEO/GEO Boost | Audit and implementation on existing pages; roughly 25 indexable pages | $1,499 total; $99 call credited into it | A defined search-visibility project |
| SEO/GEO Manage | Optional ongoing search monitoring | $199/month | Teams that want monitoring after implementation |
| Standalone project | A separately agreed service and deliverables | Quoted after scope | A specific build or specialist program |
Measure, launch, scale.
The same three steps for every client, B2C or B2B, because the method transfers and the proof is where it was built.
Build the measurement layer
Events defined to the down-funnel outcome, tracking and attribution wired into your analytics and CRM, and dashboards that show cost per outcome by channel, creative, and audience.
Launch across the channels that fit
B2C: Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, X, Apple Search Ads, app networks, programmatic, CTV. B2B: account-based marketing, demand generation, LinkedIn and search, lead scoring, CRM-native attribution. Chosen per client on where the economics hold.
Scale on proven economics
Budgets scale only when the down-funnel cost holds at the next spend level. Reporting keeps channels, creative, and segments separate so the next decision is obvious.
Paid, creative, data, strategy.
No vendor coordination.
Everything the retainer includes, run by one embedded unit.
Paid media on every channel
Paid social, paid search, app networks, programmatic, CTV, OOH, and affiliate, under one rate with no brackets.
Creative production and testing
UGC-style video, static ads, stop motion, and brand content, produced in-house and tested weekly on down-funnel performance.
Analytics and attribution
Measurement infrastructure, CRM scoring, data pipelines, and custom dashboards, built before spend scales.
Strategy and fractional CMO leadership
A named owner accountable for the number, inside the retainer rather than billed as a separate seat.
Content strategy and reporting
What to publish and why, plus reporting that ties every channel back to business outcomes.
Product and growth strategy
Conversion architecture, landing page optimization, A/B testing frameworks, and analytics instrumentation.
Built in fintech.
Proven across categories.
Three engagements, three different outcomes, one method.
StellarFi
Embedded from launch. Meta, Google, TikTok, and Reddit launched together, 50+ creative variations tested, spend scaled 5x while CAC fell 50%, 300K+ users acquired, and a $15M Series A powered by the results.
Trim
Paid acquisition built from zero, full-funnel tracking instrumented, landing page rebuilt, weekly creative sprints, spend scaled from $5K a month to $50K+ a week at a sustained 126% ROAS, and 2M+ sign-ups ahead of the acquisition by OneMain Financial.
OVO × Keinemusik
Analog film stop motion shot at Brooklyn Mirage during Keinemusik's first headline set. OVO's biggest Instagram post of all time, a Drake repost, and a capsule that sold out in 60 seconds.
One number.
Every channel.
The embedded retainer is $10,000 per month plus a flat 10% of managed media spend, one rate across every channel with no brackets, no tiers, and no minimums. It covers strategy and fractional CMO leadership, paid media on every channel, creative production and testing, content strategy, analytics and attribution, CRM scoring, data pipelines and custom dashboards, reporting, and the embedded team. Traditional agencies typically charge a retainer plus 10 to 20% of ad spend for media management alone. Detail on the pricing page.
Below roughly $20,000 a month in media spend the retainer is usually the wrong size. Clipper (pay only for verified views, $10,000 minimum campaign budget), the SEO and GEO ladder, and the standalone projects (branding, web, lifecycle, content) are the entry points at that stage. The agency guide compares the models; the StellarFi and Trim case studies show the retainer at work.
Growth marketing agencies, explained.
What does a growth marketing agency do?
A growth marketing agency manages the full stack of customer acquisition and revenue growth: paid media, creative production, analytics and attribution, product and conversion optimization, and the strategy that ties them together, measured on outcomes like CAC, ROAS, and unit economics rather than on activity. Growthr runs it as an embedded team that operates inside the client's organization.
What is the difference between a growth marketing agency and a traditional marketing agency?
A traditional agency works from outside on a retainer, usually on one or two channels, and is accountable to deliverables. A growth marketing agency is accountable for the number: it builds measurement first, optimizes to down-funnel cost per acquisition, tests creative on performance data, and scales spend only when unit economics hold. Growthr adds the embedded model on top: the team joins your Slack, standups, and tools.
Which industries does Growthr work in?
B2C and B2B, with the deepest proof in fintech (Truebill, Trim, StellarFi, Chime, Rocket Money, SaverLife campaigns with JPMorgan Chase, Mastercard, and Wells Fargo), music and entertainment (OVO, Keinemusik, Insomniac Records, Circoloco Records, Kitsuné Musique), gaming (Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive), and consumer subscription. On the enterprise side, Growthr has run B2B account-based marketing, lead generation, and brand campaigns for Goldman Sachs, Experian, and Prudential, and our team has also run programs for AWS, Intel, and Cisco. The model transfers to any category; these are where the proof lives.
How much does a growth marketing agency cost?
Traditional agencies typically charge a monthly retainer plus 10 to 20% of ad spend for media management alone. Growthr's embedded retainer is $10,000 per month plus a flat 10% of managed media spend, one rate across every channel with no brackets, covering strategy, paid media, creative, analytics and attribution, and reporting under one team. Below roughly $20,000 a month in media spend, Clipper or a standalone project is usually the better fit.
Is Growthr a good fit for an early-stage startup?
It depends on media spend. Above roughly $20,000 a month, the embedded retainer fits and the StellarFi and Trim work started at that stage. Below it, the retainer is the wrong size and Growthr routes companies to Clipper, the SEO and GEO ladder, or a standalone project, and many graduate to the retainer later. The startup-specific version is on the startup marketing agency page.
