Every hero needs a sidekick.
We run the marketing. You run the business.
Get a growth planMarketing changes faster every year, and most brands are trying to keep up with all of it on their own.
One person runs the ads, makes the content, sends the email, and still has a business to run. So brands try ads, or post more on social, and hope it adds up without a plan that connects the pieces.

What most brands are missing is a system, one strategy that connects every channel.
That system is what we build and run.
Sidekicks is a Shopify marketing agency that builds and runs the whole system: the ads, the email, the creative, the search traffic, and the store, connected and run by one team.
Most of our clients came to us with one marketer trying to cover all of it.
A single channel starts at $4,500 a month and the full system runs $15,000 to $20,000, flat, on six-month retainers.
How the system works
Ads bring in new customers and build the email list. Email turns that list into repeat orders. New creative keeps the ads from wearing out, and search brings in the people who were already looking for what you sell. The store turns all of it into orders, which is why we work on the store too.
Five vendors give you five reports that disagree.
One team gives you one report and one number: what the marketing returned after cost.
What you get, and when
In the first thirty days we fix the tracking so your ad platform and your store count the same sales, rebuild the email that is losing the most money, and put the first new ads live. By day ninety the first number is real.

What we run
You can start with the one channel that needs the most help, or hand us all five and have one team run them together. Each channel is built inside the tools you already pay for and shows up in the same report, so every piece works as part of the same system.
