The problem

Most marketing platforms don't tell you if you made money.

01

ROAS ≠ Revenue

High ROAS but flat revenue

ROAS, CTR and CPC look great on a dashboard but don't reconcile to your revenue growth or contribution margin.

Disconnected reporting

Founders can't see the funnel

Marketing reports live in one tool, sales in another, finance in a third. Nothing ties cleanly to the business.

“Google, Meta, TikTok or even Shopee claim credit for revenue. Yet the math doesn't add up.”

Profit check

Find your break-even ROAS.

Move the sliders to your numbers. This is the first thing we check in every audit.

Our belief

Business-first, not platform-first

Every campaign is built backward from your unit economics: CAC, payback, contribution margin. Not platform ROAS.

Full funnel, not siloed channels

Customers don't convert in one click or view. We map the full path across channels. No platform tribalism.

Grow customers, not just revenue

We optimise for new-customer acquisition, not repeat purchases dressed up as growth.

Finance-grade reporting

Platform metrics are directional. Blended reports reconciled to your P&L are the only definitive guidance.

What we run for you

Core services. One outcome: profitable growth.

01

Paid media strategy

Reverse-engineered from your unit economics, channel-agnostic by design. We follow the math, not platform noise.

The challenge. Strong platform ROAS but stagnant business revenue. Spend was trapped in broken funnels, and platform performance wasn't translating to the P&L.

  1. Full-funnel reporting. Mapped every campaign by funnel stage alongside store metrics: visits, PDP views, add-to-cart, checkout, purchase.
  2. Simplified campaign structure. Restructured by product cost basis and category (eyes with eyes, face with face) to speed up learning and stabilise sales.
  3. Dynamic reallocation. Shifted budget by funnel health and incrementality, not dashboard ROAS.

FAQ

Questions founders ask us first.

Something else? hello@pixelandprofits.com

Which channels do you run?

Meta, Google and TikTok, plus CPAS and marketplace ads (Shopee, Tokopedia and similar). We are channel-agnostic: budget follows margin, not platform preference.

How is this different from a normal agency report?

Platform dashboards report what each platform can see. We reconcile spend to your store data and P&L: blended MER, new-customer revenue, contribution margin by product and category.

Do you make the creatives?

Yes. Creative strategy and high-velocity testing are part of the system: 30–40+ creatives tested every month, built from proven winners rather than trends.

How do we start?

Most clients start with the 2-week marketing audit or the 90-day growth sprint. Apply for a strategy call and a partner reviews your numbers before the call.

How do we communicate?

In your Slack, Notion and Sheets. Short, structured, action-oriented updates every week and a business review every month.

Where do you work?

We are a remote team operating across APAC, EMEA and the US, with deep experience in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

Ready to scale profitably?

A partner reviews your numbers before the call. You leave with three things to fix, whether you hire us or not.
