What we engineer

01 — Media management
Paid Acquisition — Meta, Google, TikTok

We treat paid media as a single unified system, not three separate channels. Cross-platform budget allocation, unified attribution modelling, and a structured testing engine — all engineered to maximise return on every euro of ad spend across the full funnel.

Meta Ads — Facebook & Instagram
Google Ads — Search, Performance Max & YouTube
TikTok Ads — In-Feed, Spark & UGC formats
Unified attribution Cross-platform budget allocation Audience architecture Incremental testing Retargeting sequences
02 — Data infrastructure
Tracking & Attribution Engineering

iOS 14+ degraded most attribution models. We rebuild them. Server-side event tracking via GTM, Conversions API (CAPI), and first-party data infrastructure — so your optimisation decisions are based on accurate signal, not platform estimates.

Server-side GTMMeta CAPIGA4First-party dataAdvanced attribution
03 — Creative
Creative Strategy & Production

Creative is the highest-leverage variable in paid media. We build psychology-based concepts, data-backed UGC briefs, and test systematically — treating creative as a performance asset, not a design deliverable.

UGC strategyPsychology-based hooksA/B frameworksStatic & video
04 — Conversion
Funnel Architecture & CRO

Acquisition cost is only half the equation. We audit the full post-click experience — landing page structure, offer framing, messaging hierarchy — and engineer conversion improvements that compound with scale.

05 — Design & web
Performance-Driven Design

Ad creatives, landing pages, and web interfaces designed for conversion performance — not aesthetic awards. Every visual decision is tied to a measurable objective.

06 — Retention
Email & CRM Automation

Acquiring a customer is expensive. Keeping them is where the margin lives. We build automated lifecycle sequences and CRM flows that turn one-time buyers into recurring revenue.

Growth Infrastructure Audit

A structured diagnostic of your paid media accounts, attribution setup, creative framework, and funnel — identifying the highest-impact levers before any budget is committed. Delivered as a prioritised action plan.

Founder · Stryde Media

7+ years running paid acquisition across EU and LATAM markets — in verticals where tracking precision and CPA accountability are non-negotiable. I built Stryde to offer the same level of performance rigour to SaaS, Fintech, and e-commerce brands, without the overhead of a large agency.

When you work with Stryde, you work directly with me. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior analysts learning on your budget.

The anti-agency manifesto

Senior-only.
Zero layers.

How we operate
You speak directly to the strategist, not a coordinator

At a traditional agency, your budget is managed by a junior analyst while a senior strategist fields new business calls. At Stryde, the person you speak to on day one is the person architecting and running your campaigns. No account managers. No briefing chains. No context lost between floors.

Direct senior accessSame-day decisionsRadical transparency
Engineering mindset
We approach growth as an infrastructure problem

Most agencies optimise campaigns. We engineer systems. That means clean data architecture before any spend, first-party signal infrastructure that survives platform updates, and a structured creative testing framework that compounds over time — not one-off bursts.

Market experience
Sharpened in high-compliance, competitive markets

We've built acquisition systems in Fintech, regulated healthcare, and complex SaaS products — markets where compliance requirements are strict, customer acquisition costs are high, and every attribution decision has real financial consequence. That precision is the baseline we bring to every engagement.

Global execution
We work across markets, not just time zones

From the US and UK to Central Europe and LATAM — we've run campaigns across markets with fundamentally different audience behaviours, regulatory frameworks, and competitive dynamics. Cross-market pattern recognition is a skill that takes years to build. We've built it.

Methodology

Three pillars.
One system.

I
Infrastructure

Before any spend, we engineer the data foundation. Server-side tracking, CAPI integration, first-party data pipelines, and attribution modelling — built to survive iOS updates, cookie deprecation, and platform changes. You optimise from signal, not noise.

II
Creative strategy

We build a structured creative testing system — not a mood board. Psychology-based messaging frameworks, UGC production briefs, and a hypothesis-driven testing calendar. Creative is treated as the most scalable performance variable in the system.

III
Media management

Continuous, aggressive optimisation across all active channels. Weekly performance reviews with full transparency into what's working and what's being paused. Budget shifts follow data — not gut feel. Winning systems get scaled hard.

IV
Compound iteration

Each testing cycle informs the next. Creative learnings feed audience strategy. Attribution data refines budget allocation. Over time, the system compounds — delivering consistently lower CAC and higher LTV as the infrastructure matures.

Who we work with

Built for complex products
and serious growth targets.

High-ticket E-commerce

Premium DTC brands where CAC precision and ROAS accountability matter. Fashion, wellness, home, and lifestyle products with AOV above €100.

SaaS & Fintech

B2B and B2C products where CAC:LTV ratio and pipeline quality define success. We understand MQL economics, compliance constraints, and long sales cycles.

HealthTech & Consumer Apps

Regulated health products and consumer applications operating in compliance-sensitive environments. We know how to scale in constrained ad policy landscapes.

Growth-stage startups

Series A/B companies with product-market fit and capital to deploy. We build the acquisition infrastructure to scale efficiently without blowing CAC targets.

FAQ

Questions we
get asked a lot.

We typically work with clients spending a minimum of €500/month on ads for the Launch plan. For Growth and Scale, we recommend at least €2,000–3,000/month in ad spend to make the infrastructure investment worthwhile. That said, every situation is different — reach out and we'll be straight with you.
After an initial call where we assess fit, onboarding typically takes 5–7 business days. That includes access setup, tracking audit, strategy session, and creative brief. We don't rush the infrastructure — but we move fast once it's solid.
Yes. We work with clients across the EU, UK, USA, and LATAM. All engagements are conducted in English. Timezone differences have never been an issue — we operate asynchronously by default and schedule calls around your schedule.
The senior strategist you speak to in the first call is the person running your account. There are no junior analysts, no account managers, no handoffs. You have direct access — always.
Weekly performance reports covering spend, ROAS, CPL/CPA, creative performance, and key decisions made. We don't send vanity metric dashboards — you get the numbers that matter plus context on what we're doing about them.
We offer a standalone Growth Infrastructure Audit as a one-time engagement — a full diagnostic of your ad accounts, attribution, creative framework, and funnel. Many clients start here before committing to a retainer. Monthly management is always a retainer.
