Real Brands. Real Numbers.
Real Founders Sleeping Better.
Every engagement is someone's life's work. Here is what happens when they hand us the keys.
HatSaver
20 years in business, never past $3K a month online. Then we tested 50+ ad creatives and scaled the winners.
Momentum Carnivore
A family-owned raw pet food brand with everything except the marketing. We built the store, the creative, and the subscription base.

A marketing team that’s [transparent]
At Blade, we see marketing like a Swiss Army knife—versatile, effective, and essential. Whether it's Paid Media, SEO, or Email/SMS strategies, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all templates. We believe in custom-crafted solutions, rooted in data but fueled by creativity.
Take the post-purchase flow we created that generated over $81,000 in additional revenue without any third-party apps. It wasn’t luck. It was about understanding human behavior, leveraging urgency, and speaking directly to the customer’s needs.
Or consider the 406% YOY growth we achieved for HatSaver by testing over 50 ads, developing fresh content, and scaling ad spend with precision. Each success story is a testament to our obsession with detail and performance.
"Working with Blade is easy, straightforward, and honestly saved my business."
Barry · Founder, HatSaver · $3K to $45K a month with Blade
Let's be honest: most agencies suck. They overcharge, underserve, and overpromise, in that order, every time. The deck is beautiful, the retainer is enormous, and the person actually running your account graduated last spring.
Blade exists to fight that. We are the partner for brands that want honesty and transparency from people who genuinely want to see you profit, grow, and eventually not need us at all.
We're basically the dating app for ecom brands.
We help you grow so big you don't need us anymore. Graduating clients is the goal, not the fear.

Real client dashboard. Note the split: 57% of that revenue came from automated flows, which is exactly where we build first.
Email & SMS
You're Hiring a Team With a Proven Track Record
At a fraction of the cost, and profitably. Who knows, maybe you could be our next $1.2 million a month email client.
Whether you're an ecommerce brand, a hotel, or anything in between, email drives new and repeat purchases better than almost any channel, and it's still the most overlooked one. Our team uses email to tell your story, launch your products, and turn subscribers into repeat buyers. Last year alone we generated over $22 million in email revenue for our clients, and we're looking for our next success story.
We don't send emails just to send emails. We dig into the data, watch the flow-versus-campaign split, protect your deliverability, and adjust until every dollar drives measurable results. Just ask our email clients, who average a 75x ROI on the channel.
SMS Marketing
Message Delivered: SMS That Sells Without Burning Your List
The channel with 98% open rates is also the easiest one to ruin. We treat your customers' text threads like the privilege they are.
Most brands avoid SMS because they're afraid of annoying customers, and honestly, most brands that try prove the fear right. The difference is restraint and timing. We build SMS that feels like a text from a friend who knows what you want: back-in-stock alerts, VIP early access, and perfectly timed nudges that convert in minutes, not days.
Every text is coordinated with your email flows in one Klaviyo account, so the channels reinforce each other instead of repeating each other. The result is revenue that arrives fast and a list that grows healthier instead of tired.
An actual client text. Short, timed, human, and sent to a list that wants to hear from the brand. That last part is the whole trick.
Traffic you own instead of rent. Every one of those sessions arrived without a cent of ad spend attached to it.
Search Engine Optimization
The Growth That Compounds While Your Ads Sleep
Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO keeps sending customers at 2am, on weekends, and long after the invoice cleared.
Plenty of agencies sell you just PPC or just email, and skip the channel that determines your website's long-term health. That's how brands end up renting every visitor forever. Our SEO work builds visibility and authority that compound: collection and product pages that rank for buying intent, technical health that Google rewards, and content only a brand with real expertise could write.
And in 2026, ranking means more than Google. AI search now answers your customers' questions directly, and it cites the sites with clean structure and schema. We build so you're the answer that gets quoted, not the competitor.

Which ad platforms do you manage?

We scale what your unit economics can support instead of chasing platform-reported ROAS. For a founder-level look at how we think about scaling, read how to boost your Shopify sales fast.
Do you work with Klaviyo?
Yes, deeply. Blade is a Klaviyo Platinum Partner with over $50 million in projected email and SMS revenue for our clients. We handle full setup and ongoing management: welcome flows, abandoned checkout, post-purchase, segmentation, and campaigns, all written, designed, and optimized in-house by our email marketing team.
How much revenue should email and SMS drive for my brand?
For most DTC brands, email should generate 25-30% of total revenue, with 40-60% of that coming from automated flows rather than campaigns. If you are under those numbers, you have a flow gap, not a campaign gap. Our clients average a 75x ROI on email, and SMS adds a channel with open rates as high as 98% on top of it.
What does SEO for an ecommerce brand actually include?
Real ecommerce SEO covers three pillars: on-page (collection and product page optimization), technical (site speed, schema, crawlability), and off-page (authority building). For Shopify stores specifically, our Shopify SEO work has grown client keyword rankings from 300 to over 3,500 in months. For the full breakdown of how the pillars fit together, read our complete guide to the 40 types of SEO.
What is conversion rate optimization and do I need it?
CRO is the work of turning more of your existing traffic into customers before you spend another dollar acquiring new traffic. Most Shopify stores convert at 2-3%, and closing the gap between your rate and your potential is usually worth more than any budget increase. Start with our top 10 Shopify conversion optimizations and our guide to product descriptions that convert.
Do you manage Amazon advertising?
Yes. Our Amazon PPC team manages Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and full account strategy, including the branded vs non-branded campaign structure most sellers skip and the weekly negative keyword hygiene that quietly outperforms bid tricks. We treat Amazon as part of your whole funnel, because your DTC ads drive Amazon searches whether you are there to capture them or not.
Can Blade build or redesign my Shopify store?
Yes. Our Shopify consultants handle everything from full store builds to theme customization, custom sections, and migration work, and every build is done with conversion and SEO baked in from day one rather than bolted on later. We also build on Squarespace for service businesses through our website design team.
What industries does Blade specialize in?
Our core is Shopify and DTC ecommerce across beauty, pet, fitness, aftermarket auto parts, and more, plus a dedicated hotel marketing practice. If you want to see how we think about a full hospitality funnel, our ultimate guide to hotel marketing covers PPC, SEO, email, and SMS end to end.
