ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. AS DOES PERFORMANCE.
We get it: you need growth.
And you need it on scale.
Many agencies promise the world,
but underdeliver each and every time.
Our promise to you is simple:
We will do whatever it takes to improve your performance and help you grow.
Our results speak for themselves.
You don't need another agency.
You need a partner that will get sh*t done.
You need a partner that understands business.
That has proven frameworks.
That can identify growth opportunities.
That can take your business to the next level.
We don't just talk the talk.
We walk the walk.
Using sophisticated digital performance marketing and growth-hacking tactics, on average, 65% of our clients double their revenue in their first 6 months of working with us.
Don't just take our word for it though, view the case studies.
Whether you're an established multi-million dollar business, or a young start-up filled with promise, we can help you level up your leads, your sales, or your users through world class digital performance marketing.
Old School Digital Agencies
R17 Ventures AG
Digital Performance Marketing
Hourly-based fees / charging based on ad spend
Incentivising longer work times or you pay more when things go wrong / incentivising increasing ad budgets, even if it's not in your best interest
Pay based on performance
Base fee (which is usually 50% less than competitors) + performance bonus for beating status quo performance (if there's no growth, there's no bonus payable).
Creative assets need to be produced by an external third-party, or you need to have to bring your own creative assets
Besides additional costs, you lose speed and agility, making testing more difficult than it needs to be
In-house creative studio producing creative content (imagery, video, UGC and more)
Save money, save time and making sure campaign performance is always front-and-centre
Platform Approach
Silo-approach / work exclusively with one channel or platform
Unable to take a holistic approach, which can have a big impact on performance
Holistic / omni-channel approach
Working across platforms and channels with one single focus: achieving or exceeding your goals & targets
Point of Contact
Complex account structures
Miscommunications and time delays come from dealing with account managers that need to brief multiple team members before anything can be actioned
Single point of call
We remove the barrier between you and the performance team. You talk directly to your performance team, which increases speed and reduces miscommunication
Speed and Accuracy
Increased focus on impressions & reach
Impressions & reach are great - but don't speak to revenue goals, business growth, etc
Core focus on unit economics & growth
Our core focus and what we report on is our performance achieving your core goals (more leads, more sales, more users or more downloads) at the best possible CPA
Paid Social Marketing
Title
Run single creatives for months on end
Very few creative refreshes, which lead to ad fatigue and fewer conversions
Campaign creatives regularly refreshed
For best results, creative assets need to be dynamic and updated regularly - not only to prevent ad fatigue, but also to keep up with market-shifts
Title
Randomised testing
Otherwise known as "testing for the sake of testing" with no real strategy or goal
Framework-based testing
We take a scientific approach to testing products, angles, offers, landing pages, etc with hypotheses and strategies that make logical sense for improved growth

Little or no testing
Missing out on major opportunities to improve performance
Weekly tests of creatives, hooks, messages, audiences, etc

Title
Strategies built on gut feeling
No research, frameworks, or data taken into account

Increased power in machine learning and AI have made it easier to focus on optimisations that really make a difference
Title
SEA Campaigns optimised for traffic, calls, directions, etc
While there's a time and place for these, they often are used as core objectives instead of focusing on what really drives revenue growth
Campaigns optimised for the end-goal, be it leads, sales, users or downloads
We deliver acquisition of sales / leads / users / downloads through always putting the focus on the end-goal
Title
Singular landing page or directing straight to homepage

Identifying customer journeys and building landing pages for them
We take a scientific approach to building and testing landing pages, ensuring that when a prospective lead clicks on an ad, they're incentivised to convert
Title
No product feed optimisations
A missed opportunity overlooked 95% of the time - optimising Google Merchant Center feed to drive more clicks and conversions
Regular product feed optimisations
Ensuring that product feeds are consumer-centric as possible, enticing prospective customers to click and convert
Email Marketing & Automations
Title
No email flows / automations
One of the biggest missed opportunities in email marketing is the use of email flows and automations to nurture and retain customers
Fully optimised email flows & automations
From abandoned cart automated emails for e-commerce to automated email sequences for lead generation - we have tried and tested automation flows that deliver top notch results
Title

Missing out on opportunities to target specific members of your subscriber base
Customer segmentation

In-house UGC department

No studio location
Making it tricky to get high quality photo and video shoots done - and increasing the time delays

Our creative strategists understand platforms like Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads, TikTok Ads, YouTube Ads, etc allowing them to produce optimal content
Title
Copywriting unaligned to results
Being able to say something well, doesn't always deliver results. Being able to say something the right way does.
Copywriting aligned to results
Data-informed approach to copywriting, focused on saying something right, as opposed to well.
Title
Reliant on human capabilities
Reducing efficiency and costing you more (especially if you're paying for hours)
Leveraging AI
Using AI tools like DaLE, Midjourney, Pushdat and ChatGPT to increase efficiency and deliver world class results
Website & E-Commerce Design & Development
Title
Generic web design & development
These websites may look good but do they deliver the goods?
Conversion optimized web design & development
Websites and e-commerce stores built using frameworks that not only look good, but most importantly: deliver sales / leads / users / downloads
Title
Need a developer to make updates
Over complicated setups that require a developer in order to make small changes or updates, losing speed, costing more, and non-conducive for testing and taking advantage of market-shifts
Staff / marketers can easily make updates
Simplified websites that put the power back in your hands! Easily update, iterate or test - saving you both time and money
Title
Website downtime to be expected
Downtime (when a website goes down) can often be expected with the tools and website CMS tools used by most agencies
Website downtime a thing of the past
Shopify, Webflow & Hubspot CMS - the cloud-based CMS tools we use for design and development - are far more robust with multiple back-up servers ensuring that downtime is a thing of the past
Title
No tracking / tracking that breaks
No tracking or broken tracking leads to the wrong traffic being sent to your website as search engines and advertisers cannot distinguish between good and bad traffic and optimize accordingly
Seamless tracking
Tools like Shopify, Hubspot CMS & Webflow offer seamless tracking - with native integrations that deliver the most accurate results
Title
Websites are vulnerable to attack
The most common website tools used by most agencies leave their clients wide open to cyber attacks, viruses and data leaks owing to the easily exploitable vulnerabilities
Websites are 99% less vulnerable
Shopify, Hubspot CMS and Webflow (the tools we use) are closed eco-systems and therefore 99% less vulnerable. In addition, their cyber security teams are the best in the space, ensuring that any potential risk is dealt with immediately
