Digital marketing agency · Sydney, growth-focused operators
A Sydney digital marketing agency that runs the numbers first.
Most Sydney agencies sell media buying. We rebuild the measurement layer underneath, then we work out which dollar of spend actually clears margin. The output is paid acquisition that finance can defend, not just dashboards that look good.

Context
Why Sydney operators come to us.
Sydney's mid-market has more competing acquisition channels than any other Australian city. The result is a CAC that drifts upward every year while attribution gets noisier. Most of the operators we meet are spending between $40K and $250K a month on paid traffic, with an in-house performance person or two, and have been through at least two agencies.
The pattern is the same: the first agency built something that worked, the second one inherited it and let it rot, and now nobody can answer which dollar is making the next one. The problem is not media buying. It is measurement.
We rebuild attribution first, then work the spend allocation second. By month three you have a CFO-defensible reporting layer and a media plan that aligns to contribution margin instead of platform-reported ROAS.
Deliverables
What an engagement actually delivers.
01
Server-side measurement rebuild on your domain. Meta CAPI, Google Ads enhanced conversions, GA4 reconciled to your CRM. Event Match Quality lifted into the 7.0 to 8.5 band.
02
Reporting layer in Looker Studio that ties platform-reported revenue to bank-anchored revenue. Daily reconciliation flags variance over 5 percent.
03
Day-to-day media management on Google, Meta, and the rest. The same senior operators who rebuild the measurement run the spend against it, we refuse to run media on broken data, and we refuse to hand the buying to an agency that can't see contribution margin.
04
Quarterly working sessions covering the six pillars of the PROFIT framework: pull, record, optimise, funnel, increase, turn.
05
Documented operating procedures and a six-month post-engagement quarterly review at no extra cost.
Side by side
How this is different from a Sydney media-buying agency.
Most Sydney agencies
- Sell hours of account management
- Report platform-attributed ROAS
- Dashboards built on browser-side pixels
- Optimise for the metric that justifies the retainer
- Send monthly decks summarising the dashboard
Profit Geeks
- Sell measurement + media + margin under one engagement
- Report contribution-margin ROAS reconciled to the CRM
- Server-side measurement on your own domain
- Optimise for the dollar that lands in the bank
- Senior operators rebuild, run the media, and hand over the playbook
Who this is for
- Sydney-based operator, scaling on paid acquisition, $40K+ monthly ad spend
- Reports from Meta, Google, and the CRM that have stopped agreeing
- Have an in-house performance person who can operate the rebuilt system
- Want the engagement to end with a documented handover, not a permanent retainer
Who it isn't
- Looking for a managed-service ad account run for you day-to-day
- Need a fix in two weeks for a launch (this is not that kind of work)
- Sub-$2M revenue trying to fix attribution before the offer works
- Believe whichever dashboard reports the highest ROAS

Frequently asked
What operators ask before booking the call.
Are you a Sydney digital marketing agency?
Sydney HQ with a Brisbane office in Hamilton. The work runs across three pillars under one engagement: we rebuild the measurement, run the day-to-day media against it (Google, Meta, the lot), and engineer the offer architecture that lifts margin per customer. The same senior operators do all three. We will not run media on broken measurement, and we will not hand the buying to an agency that can't see contribution margin, that's the whole pitch.
Do you take on retainer-style media buying engagements?
No. We sell fixed-scope engagements with a defined start and end. Most clients run an Attribution Fix (six to ten weeks) or the full PROFIT framework (twelve weeks). After the engagement we run a quarterly check-in for six months at no extra cost, then the in-house team operates the system without us.
How is pricing structured?
Fixed-scope, billed in two or three instalments. The Tracking Audit is $6,800 AUD, the Attribution Fix runs from $28K AUD, the PROFIT framework runs from $58K AUD. We send a written proposal after the strategy session with the actual number for your scope.
Will you work alongside our existing agency?
Yes. Most clients have an existing Meta or Google buying agency or in-house performance team. We work alongside whoever runs the day-to-day. Where there is friction (we expect agencies to show their work; some do not) we surface it early and let the client decide.
What if we are not in Sydney?
Most engagements run on a weekly call cadence with shared documents in between. We have offices in Sydney NSW and Hamilton, Brisbane, so Sydney and Brisbane clients get on-site working sessions at no extra charge. For clients in Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide we travel fortnightly with travel paid separately.
What size business do you actually take?
Annual revenue between $2M and $20M, currently spending at least $20K per month on paid acquisition. Below that the engagement is too expensive for the lift; above that you typically need a different shape of help than we sell.
What happens after you book

Written proposal
Fixed scope, fixed number, written up. The proposal names deliverables, timeline, the people involved, and the price. No hourly billing, no retainer drift.
Step 03 · Within 2 weeks

Senior operators on day one. Measurement rebuild begins, day-to-day media gets reassigned to our team, and the first set of working sessions lands. Inside two weeks of the strategy call.
Next step
Two new clients per quarter. That's it.
If you're a Sydney operator with $40K+ in monthly ad spend and reports that have stopped reconciling, the next step is a 30-minute strategy session. We will look at three of your dashboards on the call and tell you, in writing, what the rebuild would cover.
