About us

Growth engineering principles

We do this work because we believe Hungarian businesses can stand out internationally too. With our background in business development, software engineering and marketing, we want to contribute to the growth of SMEs with real potential.

The campaign ends, the system stays

We think in systems, not campaigns. Together with your leadership we build an internal system that doesn’t depend on an agency, but stays your company’s own capability.

Your in-house team

An external agency often can’t understand how your company works from a filled-out form and a few meetings. That’s why we work inside your team as business developers, so together we make the best decisions as fast as possible. We have every specialist your project might need in-house.

Business development, not marketing

We think as business developers, not marketers, so scaling your ads won’t necessarily be our advice. We want to reach your goal by the best and cheapest route, and that doesn’t always mean sinking more budget into Google.

Services

Growth competencies

One team, eight disciplines. Development, design, advertising and email all work toward the same numbers, because the same team runs all of them.

The cheapest revenue is already in your existing customers.

A well-built email marketing system brings 25–35% of a webshop’s revenue with no ad spend. Abandoned cart, browse abandonment, post-purchase series, win-back, back-in-stock and price-drop alerts, all running automatically, in your voice.

See how we build it
  • 12–18 core flows in Hungarian and English, with A/B testing
  • Segmentation by purchase frequency, cart value and product category
  • Shoprenter, UNAS, Shopify, WooCommerce and custom integrations
  • GDPR-clean sign-up, double opt-in, auditable consent

One channel’s numbers tell you nothing on their own.

Paid search, paid social, remarketing and CRO in one system. First we find where revenue leaks, the offer, the funnel or the measurement. That’s where we start.

PPC ad management details
  • Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn campaign management
  • Conversion optimization and structured A/B testing
  • GA4, server-side tracking, clean attribution
  • Reporting on ROAS, CAC and LTV

What marketing promises, someone has to build.

From MVP to platform development. Webshop integrations, invoicing, CRM connections and AI features the marketing team can actually use.

Development services
  • Webshop and custom platform development
  • APIs, ERP, CRM and payment integrations
  • AI and LLM features: search, assistant, summaries
  • Rich text editor expertise (ProseMirror, TipTap)

Creative is today’s biggest growth lever.

The most important variable in modern marketing is the creative: if the video doesn’t stop the scroll, even the best targeting won’t help. We produce social-first videos and a creative system that serves your ads, organic presence and brand at once.

See what we produce
  • Short videos: TikTok, Reels, Shorts, LinkedIn
  • Scroll-stopping ad creatives for PPC
  • Scripting, shooting, editing and branded storytelling
  • Creative testing: finding the hook that converts best

E-commerce sales work well as a system.

Visitors × conversion × order value. Long term, the webshop that wins is backed by a strong brand, accurate measurement, working customer acquisition and retention, and a stable technical foundation. We build that as one system.

See the walkthrough
  • Traffic: a cheaper view, more quality visitors
  • Conversion: a faster site, a cleaner path to purchase, better checkout
  • Order value and LTV: upsell, abandoned cart, win-back
  • Sustainability: organic traffic that makes the whole system cheaper

Experiences that connect people and products.

Most brands design for aesthetics; we design for impact. Every interaction we create is intuitive and turns scrolls into meaningful results.

Our UX/UI approach
  • UX audit, heatmap and behaviour analysis
  • In-depth interviews and usability tests
  • Information architecture, prototype, design system
  • Brand and visual systems

What if your next customer never Googled you?

A growing share of searches now happen in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. You can rank first on Google and still be invisible where people actually ask their questions.

SEO & AI search optimisation details
  • Structured data and entity optimization
  • Question-based content the AI can cite
  • Link and authority building
  • Tracking and reporting on AI mentions

Growth is usually not a marketing question.

Pricing, margin and the sales process move profit more than any ad account. That’s why we always start with a business review and analytics.

Start with a free audit
  • Business analytics and audit: margin, product and channel profitability
  • Mapping the bottlenecks
  • Value proposition and offer structure
  • Improving the sales process

FAQ

Still have questions?

How are you different from an agency?
An agency works from the outside and owns one channel. We embed in the team, see margin, sales and operations too, and are accountable for revenue, not campaign stats. If the problem turns out to be pricing or checkout rather than ads, that’s what we’ll tell you, even if it means less ad work for us.
Can we start small?
Yes. Most engagements start with a deep audit: one-time, fixed-fee, and you get a usable roadmap at the end even if you don’t continue with us. From there you can move to a consulting subscription or full management.
When will we see results?
The first wins usually come within 1–2 months: fixing measurement, sharpening the offer, launching email flows. The bigger changes, a new funnel, creative system, platform work, build over 3–6 months and compound from there.
Do you guarantee results?
We don’t guarantee numbers: that would be dishonest, since the market, product and competition aren’t in our hands. We guarantee the process and transparency: agreed KPIs, weekly reporting and a quarterly review. In the growth-incubator model we tie our own revenue to the results.
Do you work with in-house teams?
Regularly. Sometimes we’re the whole marketing and dev team; sometimes we sit above the existing team as a senior layer: strategy, code review, campaign structure, measurement. The work happens in your tools: Slack, Jira, Notion, whatever you use.
What’s a typical contract length?
The audit is one-time. Long-term models usually start with a 6-month minimum, since system-building can’t pay off in less. After that they continue on monthly terms.
What if we’re starting from scratch?
We can still work. We can build everything: measurement, funnel, creative, ads, CRM, landing pages, SEO and the email system. From zero, the first 4–6 weeks are usually about measurement and the offer, because without those everything else is guesswork.
Do you work for international markets?
Yes. The team works in Hungarian and English, and we have several EU and US clients. We run multi-language Klaviyo accounts, international campaign structures and localized content.
How do you measure success?
Revenue, profit, CAC, ROAS, LTV and operational efficiency. At the start of every engagement we define together which number has to move, and by how much. Reporting is built on those, not on impressions and likes.
