Hiring a growth agency: What you need to know

Hiring guide
01
When should I hire a growth agency?

Hire one when growth has stalled across channels, the founder still runs ads and email alongside everything else, or you need paid media, creative, email and conversion work moving together without building a full in-house marketing team.

02
What skills should I look for in a growth agency?

Look for consumer brands they have grown on Shopify, hands-on depth in Meta, Google and TikTok ads, Klaviyo and CRO, and their own creative process. Ask who will run your account day to day and how a winning test becomes a bigger budget.

03
How much does it cost to hire a growth agency?

Most growth agencies charge a monthly retainer, though some larger paid media accounts are priced at 10-20% of ad spend. On Storetasker, a 20-hour monthly retainer to manage ad spend starts at $2,000, and multi-channel growth leadership often runs $15,000+ per month. Ad spend is billed separately.

Common Questions

An agency suits brands that want one team accountable for growth across channels, with shared creative and reporting. Separate specialists suit brands with an in-house marketing lead who can direct them. You can meet both freelancers and small studios through Storetasker before deciding.

Many do, in-house or with creators they brief, but scopes vary widely. Confirm how many new concepts you get each month, whether creator fees are included, who supplies product photography and samples, and who owns the finished files.

Your brand should own every ad account, pixel, Klaviyo account and analytics property, and give the agency access to them. That way you keep the history, audiences, creative and reporting if you change partners later.

Fixes to tracking, account structure and email flows can pay off quickly. Paid media takes longer: expect 60-90 days before performance trends are meaningful, while ad platforms relearn and new creative is tested. Agree on leading indicators and a review date before you start.

Usually an audit of ad accounts, tracking, email flows and site conversion, then a plan with targets by channel and a testing calendar. Expect early fixes to tracking and flows, the first creative tests and an agreed weekly reporting rhythm.

Agree on blended measures such as new customer acquisition cost, MER, contribution margin and repeat purchase rate, alongside channel metrics. Reporting should reconcile platform numbers with Shopify sales, since each ad platform takes credit for some of the same orders.

Yes. Many work alongside a founder or in-house marketer, or own paid media while another partner runs email. Agree who owns each channel and how creative, offers and reporting are shared, so nothing falls between teams, and set up a shared Slack channel for day-to-day questions.
