Frequently Asked Questions
Got more questions? Contact us.
What kinds of brands do you partner with?
From emerging DTC to established CPG, we fit around your team and stage. If you value story, craft, and customer care, we’ll get along well.
What makes Stranded different from other agencies?
We merge CMO-level strategy with a hands-on creative and media team — so brands don’t have to choose between high-level thinking and execution. Every channel connects: your brand story, performance data, and customer experience move in sync to create sustainable growth, not quick spikes.
What does “full-funnel” look like with Stranded?
CMO-level guidance sets direction; our agency team brings it to life across web, social, email, search, photo, and video — so discovery, conversion, and retention work as one.
Do you redesign Shopify sites or improve what we have?
Both. We create tailored experiences that go beyond checkout — education, reassurance, and moments of delight that build loyalty and lift repeat purchase.
Can I upgrade or mix marketing packages?
Absolutely. You can upgrade at any time or combine packages with à la carte services like SEO, paid social, or content strategy. Upgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
What’s included in each marketing package?
Each package includes strategy, execution, and reporting — supported by Stranded’s real-time dashboard tracking KPIs across campaigns and channels. You’ll always know what’s working and why.
Is the ad budget included in the monthly retainer?
Your advertising budget is separate from our service fees and billed directly by each platform. We don’t charge a percentage of ad spend — just a flat retainer for transparency.
What does onboarding look like?
Our onboarding is simple and collaborative. We help connect your ad accounts, analytics, and digital properties, then hold a kickoff session to outline your 30-60-90-day plan and key performance milestones.
Who’s on the team and how do we work together day to day?
You’ll work with a close-knit team of strategists, media buyers, SEO specialists, copywriters, designers, and creators — all led by senior marketing leadership. Weekly working sessions and monthly reviews keep us aligned to your goals.
What KPIs matter most and how will we define success?
Success looks different for every brand, and we decide it together. Common examples include improving first order payback, lifting repeat purchase rate and LTV, raising AOV, growing organic traffic and revenue, increasing email and SMS contribution, and stabilizing MER while scaling. We’ll align on the right mix for your stage and margins, then review them regularly as the strategy evolves.
