How Olifant Digital compares: the key differences
Senior account managers only, with 7+ years minimum
To join the Olifant Digital team, you need to bring a minimum of 7 years' experience. The team also understands 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, Olifant Digital's team turns those years into measurable results, as its work for Elite Jumps shows. Multiple other agencies and freelancers had failed to grow the brand. In just 3 months, the 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
Olifant Digital's team reviews, monitors, and adjusts bids, budgets, and targeting every day. Its in-house AI platform, Olifant AI, analyzes every campaign daily, and the account manager executes changes the same day. Then, the team also creates a strategy for each quarter.
Olifant Digital's 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 Olifant Digital trusts 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 Olifant Digital's strategy prioritizes TACoS above all else. Its 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 Olifant Digital's 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 Olifant Digital calls a 1-1-1-1 campaign structure. The team focuses 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 experienced 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.
Olifant Digital is Amazon-first. It also has dedicated teams for Walmart and Target, and a separate DTC team for Meta and Google Ads if you sell on your own store.
For a fair comparison: Amazon Growth Lab's homepage also lists brand protection, review management and pricing monitoring among its Amazon services.
What Olifant Digital sees in the accounts it manages
Both agencies publish average results. Here is what sits underneath them in Olifant Digital's own accounts: 50+ Amazon advertising accounts it manages, using 2026 data, with no client names.
Clear losers stay small because Olifant Digital checks search terms every day and cuts them early, and Sponsored Brands and Display keep bringing in new customers. That is why it sets targets per product and ad type instead of one account-wide average.

Store data for three more brands Olifant Digital manages 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, Olifant Digital 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 the team solved with its comprehensive strategy for Elite Jumps. As Olifant Digital also specializes in Amazon SEO and listing optimization, it knew which elements to test and changes to introduce. Add to that its PPC capabilities and it could coordinate paid and organic efforts simultaneously.
Case study 2: MatchaBar, $114K monthly revenue after multiple agencies failed
MatchaBar also turned to Olifant Digital 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, the team built its 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.
Olifant Digital 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
Olifant Digital's 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, Olifant Digital realized it's all about positioning. The team 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 Olifant Digital with an Amazon channel that was not growing in line with the brand. The team took over content, launches, catalog and account health, and rebuilt the catalog and listings so every product page could convert the traffic paid for.
On the ads side, the audit showed too much budget going to branded search. Olifant Digital 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 to Olifant Digital looks like
Switching takes about six weeks to settle, and your campaign history stays with you. Here is how it runs:
