PERFORMANCE-LED PAID MEDIA FOR AMBITIOUS D2C BRANDS
Scaling a D2C brand isn’t just about increasing spend, it’s about making the right decisions at the right time. Since 2018, we’ve worked alongside ambitious brands to deliver performance-led paid media, primarily across Meta and Google Ads, driving sustainable, profitable growth.
But scaling isn’t simple.
With rising CPAs, increasing competition and constant platform changes, keeping growth profitable isn’t always straightforward. Scaling a D2C brand today means making the right decisions under pressure; knowing when to increase investment, when to hold steady and when to rethink the approach.
That’s where we come in. We help you understand what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change, so growth feels considered, not chaotic.
Our objective with Nutshell has always been quality over quantity. We’ve chosen to remain consciously small so we can stay close to the work and the businesses we support. Every brand we work with partners directly with us, Julie and Sophie, and we remain closely involved in the strategy, performance and direction of every account. By keeping a cap on the number of brands we support at any one time, we’re able to stay responsive, collaborative and genuinely embedded in your team.
BRANDS WE’VE WORKED WITH
“Nutshell played a pivotal role in our company's early stages of growth. Their knowledge and expertise in Meta and Google advertising provided us with the solid foundation we needed to grow our digital presence and set us on a path of remarkable growth.
Sophie and Julie's dedication was invaluable and they are both incredibly easy to work with and slotted seamlessly into our wider team.”
Kate Prince, Founder and CEO, Ancient + Brave
“As somewhat of a cynic where social media advertising is concerned, I was cautious when considering who to entrust Leapfrog to. I was recommended Nutshell by a friend and have been hugely impressed by what they’ve delivered. Not only the results and returns that I wished for but a great working relationship built on consistent feedback, honest appraisals and creative support.
I feel very confident in recommending Nutshell to any business considering launching a new advertising strategy.”
Stephanie Drax, Founder, Leapfrog Remedies
DO YOU SEE YOUR BRAND SCALING INTO THE SUNDAY TIMES 100 FASTEST GROWING BUSINESS LIST?
We joined a small but brilliantly vibrant team at Ancient + Brave in early 2022, and were immediately excited about where this brand could go.
And over the following two years, it went off the charts! We’re absolutely thrilled to see they’ve been listed by The Sunday Times as the fifth fastest-growing British company in 2024.
Vision, consistency and heart, coupled with a winning team.
“…also, you should be shouting about the Sunday Times Hundred – you played a significant role in achieving that!”
Lara Petruccelli, Head of Marketing, Ancient + Brave
