Most agencies treat media buying like a transaction. At Growth Marketing Werks, we treat it like an investment portfolio. We help B2B companies stop wasting ad dollars and start scaling with strategy-first, full-funnel media that delivers qualified pipeline—not just impressions. Our clients come to us when they’re tired of vague metrics, inflated media buys, and media “vendors” that lack accountability. What they need is a strategic partner—one who manages ad dollars with the precision of a financial advisor and the insight of an in-house team. Here’s how we work: • Media Investment StrategyEvery dollar is deployed with intention—to reduce waste, manage risk, and maximize return. • Radical TransparencyNo markups. No bloated plans. Just honest, data-backed recommendations you can trust. • Full-Funnel MasteryFrom awareness to loyalty, we design connected media systems that move buyers—and prove it. If your media budget feels more like a cost than a growth lever, let’s change that.

Tidal Marketing is a Seattle-based paid media agency for DTC furniture and home goods brands on Shopify. We run Google Ads and Meta Ads for brands doing $2M+ a year in revenue. Furniture is harder to advertise than most categories. Products are high-ticket, buyers take weeks or months to decide, and a handful of products usually drive most of the sales. Our work is built around that. We focus on winning the buyers who are already shopping for what you sell, put spend behind the products that actually convert, and cut what isn't working. Every engagement starts with the Tidal Scaling Blueprint, a two-week deep dive into your customers, margins, and account data. That turns into a six-month plan we run for you, with ads live within 30 days. During our time with Urbandi, we helped grow them from $5M to $10M in annual revenue in a single year, and at one point they captured 34% of all Google clicks for "white oak floating shelves." We work with a small number of brands at a time, so you get direct access to Tim Minzer and the team, regular updates, and a clear roadmap. No long-term contracts, just 30-day notice.
