The problem
The reasons brands come to us from Stryde.
Stryde is a legitimate Amazon agency — we're not here to run it down. But the model is Amazon-first, and most of the brands we talk to have outgrown a marketplace-only relationship. They need the DTC side, the creative side, or the lifecycle side handled by the same team, not stitched together across three agencies with three retainers.
- Amazon is scaling but Shopify, Meta, and Klaviyo are stuck with separate agencies who don't talk to each other
- Percent-of-spend or opaque tiered pricing that makes forecasting a monthly negotiation
- Strategist-plus-junior-team model where the person who ran your pitch isn't the person on your account
- 12-month contracts that lock in past the point where the fit is obviously wrong
- Creative built for Amazon Sponsored Brands never gets repurposed to Meta or TikTok
- Weekly reporting from Amazon that doesn't reconcile to your blended MER or finance-team revenue
Our approach
One team, one number, both channels.
Amazon and DTC under one roof, run by senior operators, on published fixed pricing. That's the whole pitch. Every commitment below is written down and held to.
01
Amazon + Shopify in one team
Same operators running Sponsored Ads, DSP, A+ content, Shopify CRO, Meta, Google, and Klaviyo. Creative flows from one brief queue to every channel. Inventory and pricing coordinated across marketplace and DTC.
02
Fixed retainer, published tiers
Core $4,875-$6,375/mo, Growth $7,875-$10,875/mo, Scale $13,875-$21,000/mo. No percentage of ad spend, no media markup, no per-SKU fees. Priced on the site, no discovery call needed to see the number.

FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask.
Why are brands looking for a Stryde alternative?+
The most common reasons we hear: they want one team running Amazon AND Shopify (not marketplace-only), they want fixed monthly pricing instead of percent-of-spend, they want senior operators on the account week-to-week rather than a strategist-plus-junior-team model, and they want month-to-month terms after onboarding. Stryde is a solid Amazon-focused agency — the question is usually fit, not quality.
Do you cover the same Amazon services as Stryde?+
Yes: listing optimization, Sponsored Products/Brands/Display, DSP, AMC audiences, A+ content, storefronts, Brand Registry, and FBA/inventory ops. Plus we run the DTC side — Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta, Google, TikTok, and creative — under the same team and the same weekly report.
How does your pricing compare?+
We publish tiered fixed retainers on the site: Core $4,875-$6,375/mo, Growth $7,875-$10,875/mo, Scale $13,875-$21,000/mo. No percentage of ad spend, no media markup, no per-SKU fees. Most Amazon-only agencies quote either percent-of-spend or hidden tiers that require a discovery call to compare.
What about contract length?+
Month-to-month after a 90-day onboarding period. If the work isn't delivering by day 90, you can leave without penalty. We think 12-month lock-ins are a symptom of an agency that doesn't trust its own retention.
Who works on my account day-to-day?+
The senior operator you meet in the pitch is the senior operator running your account — not a strategist figurehead layered on top of junior delivery. We cap the roster under 30 brands so this is actually possible.
Do you handle creative in-house?+
Yes. UGC roster, paid creative studio for static and motion, and Amazon-specific production for A+ content, storefronts, and Sponsored Brands video. Every channel gets fed from the same brief queue.
Can you migrate from Stryde or another agency cleanly?+
Yes. We've run this migration many times. First 14 days: read-only access, full audit, migration plan in writing. Days 14-30: knowledge transfer from the outgoing agency (if they'll cooperate) and structural fixes. Day 30 onward: we own the account and the previous agency is fully offboarded.
When is Stryde actually a better fit?+
If you're Amazon-only, don't plan to add Shopify/DTC or paid social in the next 12 months, and want a large Amazon-specialist team where you talk to a strategist monthly. Stryde has been Amazon-focused for years and knows that lane well. If any of those don't fit, this is the conversation to have.
