How it works

Four steps, no ninety-slide deck

We've been on the client side. We know what a "discovery phase" usually costs and how little of it survives contact with a real business.

01

A proper nose around

Two weeks in your analytics, your ad accounts and your inbox. We come back with what's broken and what it's costing you, in pounds.

02

A plan on one page

What we'll do, in what order, what it costs and what we expect it to shift. If we can't put a number on it we'll say so.

03

We build and launch

Weekly Slack updates, monthly calls, and a live dashboard you can look at whenever you like — not a PDF that arrives on the 14th.

04

We keep pulling the levers

The first plan is never the best one. We test, kill what isn't working and reinvest the budget where it's earning.

Who we work with

Ambitious, mid-sized, slightly impatient

Most of our clients turn over between £1m and £30m. Some have a marketing manager who needs an extra pair of hands; some have a founder doing it at 11pm; a few have been through two agencies already and are understandably wary.

  • Ecommerce and DTC brands
  • Hospitality groups and food producers
  • B2B software and professional services
  • Home improvement and trades franchises
  • Health, fitness and wellbeing
“We'd been with a big London agency for two years and never once spoke to the person running our account. At Neon Rocks I've got Danni's mobile number and she answers it. Cost per acquisition is down 61%.”
