The problem with ad agencies

💰

They cost too much

Most ecommerce ad agencies in Melbourne typically demand $5k–$10k+ per month, excluding ad spend. What you're really funding is agency overhead, account managers, and PowerPoint presentations — rather than reliable, consistent results.

🐌

They move too slowly

Briefs evolve into meetings. Meetings evolve into delays. At many ecommerce ad agencies, the creative process stretches for weeks instead of days — and by the time the ads are finally live, the chance has slipped away.

🤷‍♂️

No compounded learnings

Every campaign is handled as if it's a standalone project. When your strategist moves on, all the context goes with them. Ecommerce Ad Agencies seldom establish a system that evolves, enhances, and compounds benefits over time.

Needle transforms your ecommerce advertising approach by replacing the need for a traditional agency with a streamlined growth platform. No freelancers. No mismatched tools. No sluggish agencies. Just a single hub where strategy, creative development, execution, and continuous learning converge — week after week.Rather than juggling multiple agencies, SaaS platforms, spreadsheets, and handoffs, Needle brings everything together into one cohesive workflow. Strategy, creative production, execution, and performance insights coexist within the same system — fueled by your real-time data and optimized weekly.Nothing resets. Nothing falls through the cracks. Each campaign lays the foundation for the next.This is the level of service ecommerce ad agencies were intended to provide — but often fail to do so structurally.

How Needle solves this

Reason #1

Strategy grounded in your real data

Needle integrates seamlessly with Shopify, Meta, and your email service to provide a real-time view of your business operations—focusing on what’s actually happening rather than what looks good on paper. It analyzes which products are driving conversions, which creatives are generating revenue (beyond mere clicks), where your budget is being inefficiently spent, and what messages resonate with your customers. From this valuable insight, Needle delivers straightforward, actionable campaign ideas tailored to your metrics and brand identity—steering clear of tired e-commerce agency templates or generic strategies. Say goodbye to guesswork, competitor mimicry, or blind reliance on opinions. Your strategy evolves continuously based on real-time performance insights, not just quarterly assessments.

Reason #2

Fast creative production & launches

Needle takes care of the entire creative and execution process from start to finish. That means we produce ad images, videos, carousels, and emails on your behalf. Campaigns are crafted and launched across multiple channels without the hassle of manual uploads, chasing down designers, or managing projects on your end.While many e-commerce ad agencies depend on purely human workflows, resulting in weeks of delays, Needle merges software efficiency with quality assurance from real people. This unique approach means most assets are ready for you within 48 hours. You simply review and approve in just minutes. Needle takes care of the rest.

Reason #3

Weekly learning that compounds

This is where Needle fundamentally distinguishes itself from conventional ecommerce ad agencies. Every campaign integrates into a unified system: successful creatives are pinpointed and expanded upon, ineffective strategies are swiftly eliminated, messaging is honed according to actual buyer behavior, and insights are seamlessly transferred to the following week’s efforts. There’s no “reset.” No fresh start when team members transition. No disconnect between strategy and execution.In contrast to ecommerce ad agencies that work in isolated campaigns and sprints, Needle operates within a continuous cycle — strategy → creative → launch → learn → enhance — week in and week out. The outcome: your ads become increasingly sharper, quicker, and more cost-effective over time.
