The Omni US Growth Plan

How Cyclone would approach acquisition, creative, and customer economics in the US.

Let's get started
A little of our work in motion

A Letter

Guy and Shiv,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to pitch you.

I'll start by saying that regardless of your decision, I genuinely love what you're doing and respect the heck out of the business you've built and the growth you've created. Congrats on all of your success.

Having said that... I want a shot at this.

You'll see how we're built and how we think throughout this proposal. You'll see the experience, the strategy, the numbers, and how we'd approach bringing Omni to the US.

But what I really want you to know is what you'll get from us.

You'll get our best.

You'll get a highly skilled, scrappy team that works incredibly hard and cares deeply about the work... a team with high standards that isn't afraid to challenge an idea, admit when we're wrong, or change direction quickly when the data tells us to.

I promise you we'll care about Omni. We'll learn your business. We'll obsess over the numbers. We'll bring ideas even when you didn't ask for them. We'll tell you what we actually think, even when that means pushing back. And if something works... we're going to want to see how much further we can take it.

That's our culture.

We take a lot of pride in the trust our clients put in us, and we don't take the opportunity to work on someone else's business lightly.

If you give us the shot, we'll work our asses off to make sure we earn it.

Founder & CEO, Cyclone Social
How We See It

Three things we'd be obsessive about from day one.

01
Obsessive tracking on the numbers that actually matter.
Contribution LTV (not revenue LTV... you already know the difference). CAC. MER. Cohort payback. Test, measure, measure again, test, kill what's not working, measure again. This is the discipline the whole account runs on. If we can't tie a dollar of spend back to a real number, we shouldn't be spending it.
02
A creator seeding engine that feeds paid, not an influencer program.
This is one of the biggest levers we'd pull. Seed product to hundreds of micro-creators every month with little to no fee. Capture everything they post. Find the outliers. Recut the best content into paid variations. Run the winners as ads through the creators' own handles. We're not trying to pick the perfect influencer. We're building enough swings that we don't have to. Full breakdown lives in Pillar 3.
03
Retention treated as an acquisition lever, not a separate team.
Every point of early churn we retire lifts your contribution LTV, which lifts your allowable CAC, which unlocks audiences your competitors can't afford. Most agencies run retention and acquisition as different departments. They're not. It's one loop. We'd run it that way.
The Plan

Here's what we'd actually do.

Three pillars. Economics runs the show. Paid and creative report up to it. Click any of them for the full breakdown.

01

Growth Economics Model

Contribution LTV, payback period, allowable CAC, marginal CAC. The math that tells us where every dollar goes and produces the data your board and future investors actually want to see.

02

Meta + Google Performance Media

Full-funnel launch on Meta and Google, built to spit out clean data on channel, creative, audience, and product-level economics inside the first 90 days.

03

Creator Seeding + Paid Creative Engine

Not influencer marketing. A production system. Seed hundreds of micro-creators every month, capture everything, find the outliers, recut the best content into paid variations, and run winners through the creators' own handles. This is how Grüns got acquired by Unilever for $1.2B in 32 months. It's the biggest lever we'd pull for you.

How We Work

What working with us actually looks like.

Not a promise deck. A real operating plan. Here's the first 30 days, the ongoing rhythm after launch, and how we talk to each other in between.

Onboarding · The First 30 Days

Everything that has to happen before we launch, in order. Compressed into the first 30 days.

01
Working session with your finance team to lock the economic model.
02
Full account access: Meta, Google, GA4, Shopify, Klaviyo.
03
Creative audit of everything the UK team has already produced.
04
Whole team on the intro video call, not just the leads.
05
Account architecture built. Cohorts separated by product entry point.
06
Tracking and attribution verified end-to-end before we spend anything.
07
First US creative wave into production.
08
US creator sourcing outreach begins.
09
Small-budget test campaigns on Meta and Google to make sure everything's tracking correctly.
10
Full launch on Meta and Google. Validation clock officially starts.
After Launch · Ongoing Cadence
Daily
Direct access, both ways. You can text, email, or call anyone on the pod anytime. Same in reverse — if we need something from you, we're not sitting on it.
Weekly
Standing weekly call. We come with updates, wins, blockers, what we're testing, what we're seeing. You come with questions, priorities, feedback. Set meeting on your calendar every week.
Monthly
Deep-dive reporting session. Full breakdown of numbers, cohort results, what's working, what isn't, what we're recommending. Reserved as the space to go deep — even when we're pivoting sooner in the account, this is where we synthesize everything.
Quarterly
Full strategy review. Recalibrate the economics model. Review product-level performance. Decide which channels have earned their turn. Reset the plan for the next 90 days.
How we talk to each other
Direct line
Email, text, or video call straight to Emily and the pod. No ticket system, no routing manager. Business-hours response is same-day, always. Something urgent goes faster than that.
Shared workspace
Live dashboards, live creative library, live meeting notes. You always know what we're working on without having to ask.
No surprises
If something breaks, we tell you before you notice. If something wins, we double down before asking permission. That's the deal.
Who owns what
Strategic Lead
Your economics model, quarterly recalibration, board-facing reporting.
Account Director
Day-to-day account, weekly readouts, keeping every function talking to each other.
Paid Media Ops
Daily Meta and Google management, creative iteration, budget deployment.
Creative + Sourcing
Creator sourcing and licensing, US video production, keeping the creative library fresh.

The Investment

Straightforward pricing. Here's the whole thing.

One monthly retainer. Transparent ad management fees that scale with your spend. Optional email add-on if you want Michael running that side too. Everything else is billed at cost.

Monthly Retainer

What you're actually paying for.

You're hiring a team, not a menu of hours. We show up every day for Omni. When the account needs more of something, we adjust. When it needs less, same. Results and the work are what matter.

$7,500 /month

The full spectrum of us working together

The retainer covers the full three pillars... full paid media strategy and daily execution on Meta and Google, the growth economics model, US creator sourcing and the seeding program, plus all the design, video, and photo we need to feed the ads. The whole team is always on for Omni.

Standing weekly calls. Monthly deep-dives on numbers and results. Quarterly strategic reviews where we recalibrate. Daily direct access to the pod whenever you need us.

What's not in the retainer: the optional email add-on below (if you want it) and the pass-through items further down (video production, creator talent fees, third-party software). Everything else is covered.

Optional Add-On

Email + Lifecycle Management

Michael takes over your Klaviyo. Audit, design, copy, campaign build, flow optimization, landing page work... the full email and SMS program. If you'd rather keep email in-house, skip this line. If you want us running the whole revenue cycle, add it.

+$1,200/month
Paid Media Management Fee

Charged separately, on top of your ad spend. You pay ad spend directly to Meta and Google — this is our fee for managing it. As your spend goes up, our percentage goes down. Same table you'll see in the contract. No surprises.

Next Step

Once we're aligned on the terms above, we'll send the contract.

Standard Cyclone marketing services agreement. It restates the pricing on this page plus the usual commercial stuff: 12-month initial term, month-to-month after that, 90-day minimum commitment, 30-day termination for convenience once you're past 90. Anything you want to negotiate, we sort out before signature. No surprises.

Next Step

When you're ready, we're ready to go.

If you want to move forward, say the word and we'll send the contract over. If you want more time first... more questions, more calls, meet the whole team, dig deeper on anything in here... we're totally open to that too. We do it all the time and honestly it makes for a better working relationship.
