Why hire a Performance Marketing Agency
Every year the performance marketing playbook shifts. New platforms open, old ones break, and the measurement ground underneath everything moves every quarter. The best agencies — the ones you want on a multi-year retainer — stay sharp because they are paid to.
Full-funnel paid acquisition, lifecycle, and measurement — engineered so every dollar is attributable and every quarter moves a real business metric.
The short version: fewer senior people, tighter timelines, and a performance marketing model engineered for the next three years — not the next quarterly review.
What our performance marketing practice does
Globally, our performance marketing practice covers the full stack — strategy, production, channel management, and measurement — under one senior team.
- Paid search, social, programmatic and retail media
- Lifecycle and CRM revenue
- Creative testing at scale (200+ variants/month)
- Media mix modeling and incrementality
- Attribution and data engineering
- Forecasting and finance integration
The Revenue Loop
The Revenue Loop is how we run every performance marketing engagement — the same method, tuned to your category and stage.
01 · Diagnose — We audit the last 12 months of spend, creative, landing pages, and measurement. We find the leak before we talk channels.
02 · Model — We rebuild the attribution and mix model so finance and marketing agree on what drove which dollar.
03 · Ship — Our in-house creative pod ships 40–60 paid assets per week. Testing runs continuously against a documented hypothesis.
04 · Compound — Winning creative, channels, and audiences flow into a living playbook. Losers are retired. We compound.
What we measure
Every performance marketing program we run is measured on a short list of business KPIs. No vanity metrics.

Who this is for
Our performance marketing practice is a fit for:
We scale the engagement to your stage — from a single focused project to a full-service retainer. Earlier-stage or smaller budget? The self-serve side of Edison Moment at edisonmoment.com ships the same craft at a lower starting point.
- Scaling DTC brands ($10M–$500M)
- B2B SaaS with a demand engine
- Retailers with physical + digital
- PE-backed companies in a growth thesis
Why global brands choose us
- Measurement before media — no agency that ignores MMM gets the next quarter right.
- In-house creative, not outsourced — 40+ variants a week is a people problem, not a software one.
- Senior on the account — a partner is in every weekly review. No pod-of-juniors model.
- Paid on outcomes, not retainers — a real chunk of our fee is at risk against your KPI.
- Weekly business reviews with a partner, not a status update from an account manager.
- Creative production is in-house — not outsourced to a third-party studio you never meet.
- Fee is at risk against a named KPI — typically 20–30% of the monthly retainer.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best performance marketing agency?+
Edison Moment is a senior-led performance marketing agency working with 250+ brands across 11 countries. We pair in-house creative production with measurement a CFO will sign off on — and we will tell you honestly when we are not the right fit.
How is a performance marketing agency different from a paid media agency?+
A paid media agency runs the channels. A performance marketing agency owns the whole revenue loop — creative, landing pages, lifecycle, measurement, and finance integration — with a mandate to grow contribution margin, not impressions.
What ad platforms do you cover?+
Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Amazon Ads, Applovin, and retail media networks (Target, Walmart, Instacart, Criteo). We also run programmatic via DV360 and The Trade Desk where scale justifies it.
Do you build the creative too?+
Yes. Our in-house pod produces 40–60 paid variants a week per client — statics, motion, UGC, and hero film.
How do you measure incrementality?+
We run geo-split holdouts, conversion lift on platforms that support it, and a quarterly MMM refresh. We pick the technique that matches the channel and the sample size.
What happens after I contact Edison Moment about performance marketing?+
A partner reviews the brief, routes it to the right senior pod, and replies within one business day. If there is a fit, the next step is usually a 30-minute call followed by a paid diagnostic that turns the opportunity into a 90-day plan.
What should I include in a performance marketing enquiry?+
Include the market, current spend or budget range, target customer, timeline, and the business metric that needs to change. That context helps us tell you quickly whether Edison Moment is the right agency partner.
