Growth visibility from day one

Every engagement starts with measurement. Here is the kind of operating view we build together -- channel-level economics, retention cohorts, and a decision cadence that keeps compounding.

Built for two kinds of decision-makers

Whether you are building the product or evaluating the investment, growth clarity is the foundation.

Founders & CEOs

You have product-market fit, a growing team, and channels that work -- sometimes. You need senior growth capacity without committing to a full-time executive hire.

  • Gaming publishers and studios
  • Adtech and martech platforms
  • Subscription and SaaS products
  • Marketplaces past initial traction
  • $1M -- $50M ARR range

Investors & Acquirers

You are evaluating a digital asset and need an independent view on growth quality, retention integrity, and unit economics. Not a deck review -- a deep technical assessment.

  • VC/PE conducting commercial due diligence
  • Acquirers evaluating digital businesses
  • Board-level growth oversight and advisory
  • Post-acquisition growth integration

Four ways to engage

Each service is scoped to deliver clear outcomes. No open-ended retainers without defined deliverables.

Fractional CMO & CGO

Embedded marketing and growth leadership. We work inside your team -- building UA strategy, retention programs, KPI architecture, and the decision cadence that makes growth systematic rather than reactive.

3 -- 12 months
Sample deliverables
Growth model UA strategy KPI framework Team design Weekly cadence

Growth Audit

A focused diagnostic of your growth engine. We assess unit economics, UA channel efficiency, retention curves, and team structure -- then deliver a prioritized action plan you can execute immediately.

2 -- 4 weeks
Sample deliverables
Unit economics map Channel audit Retention analysis Action plan

Commercial Due Diligence

Independent assessment for investors. We stress-test unit economics, validate retention claims, evaluate growth quality, and model scenarios -- so you negotiate from data, not pitch decks.

1 -- 4 weeks
Sample deliverables
Cohort deep-dive LTV stress-test Growth quality score Risk memo

Digital & Marketing Ops

Stack audit and operational build-out. We assess your analytics infrastructure, attribution setup, API integrations, and automation gaps -- then fix them or spec what your team needs to fix.

4 -- 12 weeks
Sample deliverables
Stack audit Attribution setup API integrations Automation specs

How we work

A repeatable process that turns fragmented growth efforts into a compounding system. Every engagement follows these five stages.

1

Diagnose

Map the current growth engine: channels, economics, retention, team. Identify the constraint -- what is actually limiting scale.

2

Instrument

Build the measurement layer. Channel-level CAC, cohort retention, LTV models. You cannot optimize what you cannot see.

3

Align

Set targets, assign owners, define decision triggers. Everyone knows the number, the lever, and the next experiment.

4

Run Cadence

Weekly operating rhythm: review metrics, evaluate experiments, decide next bets. Discipline creates compounding.

5

Iterate

Tighten the loop. Graduate what works, cut what does not. Transfer capability to the internal team over time.

Selected engagements

Anonymized examples of how we have worked with gaming publishers, digital products, and investors.

F2P Mobile Game Portfolio -- UA & Unit Economics

Gaming publisher scaling UA across Meta, Google, and affiliates. Multi-million monthly spend with no channel-level payback visibility. Team disagreed on LTV definitions, making budget allocation decisions contentious and slow.
Rebuilt unit economics from first principles. Separated CAC by channel, geography, and creative type. Introduced cohort-level ROAS tracking with weekly decision triggers that automated budget reallocation thresholds.
Channel-level payback visible within one sprint. Blended CAC efficiency improved 30-40% over two quarters. Team aligned on a single LTV definition, cutting decision latency from weeks to days.

Mobile Game -- Retention & Monetization System

Mobile game with strong D1 retention but severe D30 drop-off killing LTV projections. IAP revenue flat despite growing installs. No systematic view linking engagement events to monetization outcomes.
Built a cohort retention model mapping engagement events to revenue conversion. Identified a D7 activation metric that predicted D30 retention with high confidence. Redesigned the first-time user experience and reward pacing based on the model.
D30 retention improved within two experiment cycles. Blended LTV up 25-35%. IAP conversion increased across key segments, validating the engagement-to-monetization link as the core growth lever.

Commercial Due Diligence for Gaming Investor

VC evaluating a Series B gaming/adtech target claiming strong unit economics and efficient growth. Needed independent validation of retention claims, growth quality, and the sustainability of reported metrics.
Deep-dive into raw cohort data, channel economics, and organic vs. paid mix decomposition. Stress-tested LTV assumptions under different churn scenarios and market conditions. Assessed team capability to sustain reported growth trajectory.
Identified a material gap between reported and actual payback period driven by optimistic churn assumptions. Investor renegotiated terms, saving significant capital and structuring milestones around validated metrics instead of projections.

Common questions

Companies past product-market fit in gaming, adtech, and digital products -- typically in the $1M to $50M ARR range. Also investors and acquirers who need independent commercial due diligence on digital assets. If you are pre-PMF or looking for a creative agency, we are probably not the right fit.
We embed inside your team and build systems your people own. The background is operator, not advisory -- managing real budgets, hiring real teams, shipping real products. The output is not a slide deck. It is an operating system your team runs after the engagement ends.
Primary focus: gaming (F2P mobile, PC), adtech, and performance marketing platforms. We also work with SaaS, marketplaces, and subscription businesses where the growth mechanics -- CAC/LTV, retention curves, channel economics -- are structurally similar.
For a Growth Audit: approximately 4-6 hours of your team's time over two weeks, mostly in kickoff and review sessions. For a retainer engagement: one weekly working session plus async communication. We are designed to be high-leverage with minimal overhead.
No. Anyone who guarantees growth outcomes is not being honest about how markets work. We guarantee clear deliverables, structured thinking, and genuine commitment to working through problems with your team. The case studies reflect real outcomes, but every business is different.
Hong Kong, operating remote-first across EMEA and Asia timezones. We work with clients globally. Most engagements are conducted remotely with occasional on-site sessions when it adds value.
