Growth Marketing for DTC & Consumer Brands Ready to Scale
The Remarkable is a DTC and consumer growth marketing agency. Consumer growth gets harder when acquisition costs rise, creative slows down, and too many users drop off before they convert or come back.
We help DTC brands, consumer apps, and consumer services improve paid acquisition, creative testing, conversion, onboarding, and retention, so growth gets easier to understand and easier to scale.

What We Do for Consumer Brands
Consumer growth is not just about launching more ads. The brands that scale have the full system working together: the right creative, the right paid channels, a clear path to conversion, and enough retention to make acquisition worth scaling.
Creative Testing That Finds What Converts
In consumer markets, creative is often the fastest way to find demand. We help teams test more hooks, formats, offers, and angles without waiting weeks for new assets. The goal is not more creative. It is better signal, faster learning, and lower acquisition costs. See how AI creative works →
Paid Acquisition Built Around Real Business Outcomes
Consumer campaigns can look successful while still wasting money. Reach, impressions, clicks, and video views only matter if they lead to installs, purchases, retention, or revenue. We run Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other paid channels against the numbers that actually matter. See how we run paid media →
Onboarding and Retention That Make Spend Worth Scaling
Paid acquisition only works when enough users stay, activate, buy, or come back. We improve the early customer journey so more new users reach the moments that predict retention and revenue. That makes growth less dependent on constantly buying the next click. See lifecycle and retention →
Conversion Optimization Across the Path to Purchase
Every step between the ad and the outcome matters. We improve app store pages, landing pages, signup flows, and checkout paths so more of the traffic you already pay for turns into customers. See our CRO approach →
Why Creative Testing Matters More Than Ever
Creative is one of the biggest levers in consumer growth, but volume alone is not enough. The advantage comes from a system that tests the right messages, learns quickly, and connects creative performance to acquisition cost, conversion, and retention.

MyRecipes
100K → 2M
users with zero paid spend
MyRecipes needed to scale user growth with no paid media budget. We used owned channels, lifecycle, retention, and growth systems to drive adoption at scale.
TubeBuddy
50%+
revenue increase within one year
TubeBuddy had a strong product and a large creator base. The opportunity was to improve acquisition, activation, monetization, and content performance across the full funnel.
Virtual Santa
30%
return on advertising investment
When in-person traffic disappeared, Virtual Santa needed to turn a seasonal offline experience into a digital product fast. The work created a new revenue stream when the old one was gone.
Consumer brands with traction
You have a consumer app, DTC brand, or consumer service with real users, real customers, or a clear retention signal. You may already be spending on paid social, but acquisition costs are rising, creative is slowing down, conversion is underperforming, or it is getting harder to know what is actually driving growth. You want a senior growth partner who can connect creative, paid media, conversion, lifecycle, and strategy into one system.
Too early to scale
If you do not yet have a clear retention signal, paid acquisition may just help you learn faster that the product is not ready. That does not mean the business is bad. It means scale is probably not the next move yet. Find the signal first. Once the product is holding people, we can help you grow it more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a DTC marketing agency do?
A DTC marketing agency scales direct-to-consumer brands on three numbers: ROAS, AOV, and creative throughput. The Remarkable runs DTC growth as a system: paid acquisition on Meta, TikTok, and Google with prospecting separated from retargeting, high-volume AI creative because the ad does the targeting, and conversion and retention work so bought traffic compounds instead of churning.
What does a consumer growth marketing agency do?
A consumer growth marketing agency scales paid acquisition for products with broad audiences: consumer apps, DTC brands, and consumer subscriptions. The work centers on creative volume and CAC, because consumer audiences are large and the winning lever is almost always the ad itself. The Remarkable runs high-volume AI creative testing on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, tuned to install or first-purchase cost rather than vanity reach.
How do you choose a DTC growth agency?
Screen for three things: creative volume (DTC performance lives and dies on how many variants ship per month), separated prospecting and retargeting reporting (blended ROAS hides where growth comes from), and proof on consumer economics like AOV and repeat rate rather than B2B lead metrics. Our guide to the best DTC growth agencies covers the full screening list.
Why is creative the main lever for consumer paid media?
Consumer audiences are broad, so targeting matters less and the creative carries the performance. On Meta and TikTok the algorithm finds the audience once the creative resonates, which means the team that tests the most creative wins. The Remarkable uses AI Performance Creative to produce hundreds of variants a month at a fraction of traditional cost, turning creative from a bottleneck into the primary test variable.
What results has The Remarkable delivered for consumer brands?
MyRecipes grew from 100,000 to 2 million users with zero paid spend through organic and content systems. Bloomberg's DTC subscription scaled from $1M to $100M in revenue. Across the portfolio The Remarkable has managed $50M+ in ad spend with an average 75% CPA reduction, much of it on broad-audience consumer products where creative volume drove the gains.
Does The Remarkable work with early consumer startups?
We work best with consumer products that already have traction: real users, real retention, and a budget to scale. Pre-product-market-fit consumer apps with no retention signal are usually too early, because paid acquisition amplifies a funnel that is not yet holding users. If you have product-market fit and the constraint is scaling acquisition efficiently, that is the fit.
