We’re truly sorry to hear that this client did not feel satisfied with their experience. While our long track record of helping thousands of brands scale speaks for itself, it never feels good to see a partnership end without the results a client was hoping for. Every business is unique, and we genuinely regret that we were not the right fit here.
To provide additional context: our team had weekly, hour-long meetings with this client across four different countries/accounts. We built detailed, category-level reports and reviewed performance each week — including sales, ad spend, and KPIs broken down by product line. Throughout the engagement, the client made several significant pricing increases due to tariffs, which naturally impacted conversion rates and sales. Even so, our team remained fully engaged and responsive. During the launch period especially, the client emailed multiple times per day, and every message was answered quickly and thoroughly.
It’s also important to note that while we value our clients’ expertise and welcome their input, this client preferred an unusually hands-on approach and frequently requested manual interventions that went against our recommendations. This included frequently adding negative keywords, pausing matched campaigns, and making manual adjustments that prevented our system from completing its learning cycle and optimizing properly. Despite these challenges, our team dedicated extensive time and communications in an effort to support the account.
Unfortunately, when the client chose to end the partnership, he indicated they were going to leave a negative review unless a larger refund was provided, even though the billing terms were clearly outlined and agreed to at signup. We never want a partnership to end on difficult terms, and we truly wish this business the very best. Not every client is the right fit for every platform, but we remain committed to transparency, professionalism, and doing everything we can to support the brands we work with.
