What Olifant Digital clients say
Brian Dalton, founder of Wedge Guys, wrote in September 2026 that we helped grow their sales from $2 million to $4.5 million while keeping ROAS above 3.0:
"They have a full team, and everyone knows their role and responsibility." (Brian Dalton, Founder, Wedge Guys)
Doron Santo of OD International put it this way: "I see them as business partners and not just an agency."
Our case studies name the results: Elite Jumps grew revenue 124% in 3 months, Wedge Guys added $305,771 in monthly revenue, and Ekster added $688,406 in yearly Amazon profit.

How Olifant Digital compares: the key differences
Senior specialists only, with 7+ years minimum
To join the Olifant Digital team, you need to bring a minimum of 7 years' experience. We also understand that account continuity is a common pain point. That is why the person who leads your intro call remains your dedicated account manager throughout the project.
Beyond experience, our team turns those years into measurable results, as our work for Elite Jumps shows. Multiple other agencies and freelancers had failed to grow the brand. In just 3 months, our team increased their monthly revenue by 124%.
For a fair comparison: Amazon Growth Lab's account management page says "We become your dedicated Amazon team."
Daily optimization on every account
Our team reviews, monitors, and adjusts bids, budgets, and targeting every day. Our in-house AI platform, Olifant AI, analyzes every campaign daily, and the specialist executes changes the same day. Then, we also create a strategy for each quarter.
Our Kill Threshold Rule pauses a keyword when it has zero sales after 14 days and has spent twice what a single sale earns before ad costs. This daily, rule-based management helped brands like Wedge Guys add $305,771 to their monthly revenue.
For a fair comparison: Amazon Growth Lab's PPC management page reports an "Average 40% ACoS reduction in first 90 days", self-reported.
TACoS and profit on every product
Total advertising cost of sales (TACoS) is the metric we trust most for account health. Unlike vanity metrics like impressions, TACoS gives you a more accurate view of how your ad spend impacts your overall profit. It ensures smarter, more sustainable spending, while also driving new customer growth.
This is why our strategy prioritizes TACoS above all else. Our reporting shows TACoS across the full account.
Spend $10,000 on ads against $40,000 in ad-attributed sales and $100,000 in total sales: ACoS is 25%, TACoS is 10%. Run your own numbers with our Amazon TACoS calculator.
According to Amazon's Q2 2026 earnings release, advertising services revenue grew 26% year over year to $19,809 million, while online stores grew 15%. TACoS tracks whether your own ad spend grows faster than your total sales.
In practice, it translates into what we call a 1-1-1-1 campaign structure. We focus on one campaign, one ad group, one keyword, and one ASIN to ensure proper daily control.
For a fair comparison: Amazon Growth Lab's PPC management page reports an "Average 2.8X ROAS across all accounts", self-reported.
Full Amazon service under one team
On Amazon, the same senior team runs Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display, Amazon DSP, Amazon SEO and listings, catalog management, inventory management, product photography, video and A+ Content end to end, reimbursement claims and account health, for Seller Central and Vendor Central brands. Because one team owns ads and listings together, a drop in conversion rate gets fixed on the product page, not only with bids.
If you also sell on Walmart or Target, or run Meta and Google for your own store, the same team can run those too. But the reason to hire us is the Amazon work.
For a fair comparison: Amazon Growth Lab's homepage also lists brand protection, review management and pricing monitoring among its Amazon services.
What we see in the accounts we manage
Both agencies publish average results. Here is what sits underneath them in our own accounts: 63 Amazon advertising accounts we manage, using 2026 data, with no client names.
Clear losers stay small because we check search terms every day and cut them early, and Sponsored Brands and Display keep bringing in new customers. That is why we set targets per product and ad type instead of one account-wide average.

Olifant Digital case studies
| Brand | Result | What we changed |
|---|---|---|
| Elite Jumps | 124% revenue growth in 3 months | Coordinated paid and organic together, fixing costly PPC and weak visibility |
| MatchaBar | $114,305 added monthly revenue | Daily monitoring, weekly conversion testing, and bundling that doubled AOV |

Store data for three more brands we manage on Amazon US:
Case study 1: Elite Jumps, 124% revenue growth in 3 months
Elite Jumps were jumping from one agency to the next as few could balance profitability and growth. Where previous agencies failed to improve growth over the span of years, we managed to increase revenue by 124% in a matter of months.
Expensive PPC campaigns and poor organic visibility specifically were two of their main problems, which our team solved with our comprehensive strategy for Elite Jumps. As we also specialize in Amazon SEO and listing optimization, we knew which elements to test and changes to introduce. Add to that our PPC capabilities and we could coordinate paid and organic efforts simultaneously.
Case study 2: MatchaBar, $114K monthly revenue after multiple agencies failed
MatchaBar also turned to us after growing tired of several other agencies' expensive campaigns that ignored SEO and delivered fragmented strategy. Knowing that they've been disappointed before by previous agencies, we built our partnership with MatchaBar on shared goals, transparency, and accountability. Through daily, hands-on monitoring, and weekly conversion testing, they enjoyed significant, predictable growth: an extra $114,305 in monthly revenue.
We also doubled the average order value (AOV) using strategic product bundling. This way, customers received more value, while each customer also essentially became more valuable to them.
Case study 3: Wedge Guys, $305,771 monthly revenue increase and 17% lower ACoS
Our custom strategy for Wedge Guys helped them to claim the top spot in the golf niche on Amazon. They also achieved Amazon's Choice and Best Seller status for some of their most important listings.
Like golf, we realized it's all about positioning. We adjusted product listings and ad copy for different seasons and helped hero images to highlight value better.
Case study 4: Ekster, $688,406 in added yearly Amazon profit
Ekster, a premium wallet and accessories brand, came to us with an Amazon channel that was not growing in line with the brand. We took over content, launches, catalog and account health, and rebuilt the catalog and listings so every product page could convert the traffic we paid for.
On the ads side, the audit showed too much budget going to branded search. We kept branded terms funded, shifted more budget to category and competitor keywords that bring in new customers, and reviewed results by product every day. The result: $688,406 in added yearly Amazon profit for Ekster.
What switching looks like
Switching to Olifant Digital follows a set 4-step path, and your campaign history stays with you.
Weeks 1 to 2: we audit your campaign history, listings and targets per product.
Weeks 3 to 6: we rebuild the structure, cut search terms that spend without selling and fix listings.
After that: wasted spend falls first, with bigger gains in sales and profit over the next 2 to 3 months.
Ownership: your account, campaigns, data and Brand Registry stay in your brand's name.
What we often fix in the first weeks
Because we run the whole Amazon business, not only the ads, the first weeks usually turn up problems that sit outside the ads. Recent examples from accounts we took over:
One brand told us that with its previous agency it felt it had to "play police" and check the work itself. With us, the specialist who finds the problem is the one who fixes it.
Is Olifant Digital the right Amazon Growth Lab alternative?
Yes, if you are an established brand doing roughly $1M to $50M a year on Amazon and want senior specialists running the account every day against clear profit targets. Brands with proven products but stalled growth are our sweet spot.
Choose Olifant Digital if:
You want a TACoS and profit target for every product, not one account-wide average
You want senior specialists with 7+ years of experience making daily changes, and the person from your intro call staying on the account
You want month-to-month terms and a 60-day guarantee: if we don't improve your performance, you don't pay
You want Amazon PPC, DSP, SEO, listings, catalog, creative and inventory under one team
We are especially experienced with brands that have been let down by previous agencies and want a hands-on, communicative partner. We work as a growth partner and an extension of your team.
Who might prefer Amazon Growth Lab?
Based on the services its homepage lists, choose Amazon Growth Lab if:
You value a long track record: 12+ years and 1500+ campaigns, per its homepage
You want an agency group that has announced an expansion into TikTok and Walmart through its parent company, The Growth Lab
You can read its client results on its case studies page.
When Olifant Digital is not the right fit
Below roughly $1M a year on Amazon, we are usually the wrong partner. At that stage, the biggest gains come from clean listings and a simple campaign structure, which you can build before you hire any agency. Past that mark, daily optimization and TACoS targets per product start to pay back.
