In their words

What our partners say

Exactius transformed how we scale at Omaze. We went from single-digit daily increases to confidently scaling Meta and other channels' spend by 5× in a single day — with real-time CAC visibility, we optimize throughout the day instead of discovering problems 24 hours too late.

James OakesPresident, Omaze

We had a huge growth opportunity and we were in a hurry to go faster, but didn't have the leadership, tech or teams to make it happen. Exactius came in, did it all, and delivered big-time!

Kristi RiordanCOO, WeWork Flatiron School

The team at Exactius have been instrumental in helping us think how best to scale our audience… a solution that is not one size fits all, but very specific to the needs of MLS.

David BruceSenior VP, Major League Soccer

They promised a unique approach towards managing our growth, and are still delivering a smart, integrated suite of services, two years into our relationship.

Oren SchneiderCEO, Circa

We considered building in-house, but Exactius delivered far more than we could have on our own. They connected every dollar of spend to real outcomes — in just 180 days we increased admit volume by 50% while staying within ROI targets.

Lydia RudyChief Development Officer, ERC

The system we deploy

We build your growth around one number — lifetime value vs. CAC

Whether you're B2B or B2C, we deploy the full infrastructure — tracking, attribution, predictive LTV and one source of truth — to measure lifetime value against CAC in real time, then run a scalable playbook that compounds profit, not just volume. It's the Growth Operating System, installed in your business.

01

Install the infrastructure

Server-side signals, attribution and predictive LTV modeling — the plumbing most teams never build.

02

See the real number

LTV:CAC and contribution margin in one source of truth (Violet), live — not platform-reported ROAS.

03

Scale the playbook

We push spend only where LTV:CAC holds, across channels and markets. A repeatable engine, B2B or B2C.

The scale running through our system

Revenue measured
$848M+
Marketing spend analyzed

Most teams optimize to what the platforms report. We build the system that shows you what's actually profitable.

AI-first, operator-led

We didn't bolt AI on. We rebuilt the playbook around it.

Every stage of our growth system is run by AI and supervised by operators — so the work that used to take an agency weeks happens in days, at higher quality, for less.

DATA

See everything

AI ingests every signal — spend, contribution margin, LTV:CAC — into one source of truth.

DECISION

Decide faster

Models surface where to allocate capital next; operators make the call.

EXECUTION

Build at speed

AI drafts creative, copy, audiences and analysis; humans QA and ship.

DEPLOYMENT

Launch & learn

Live results feed straight back into the loop — the system compounds.

results feed the next decision
Faster than an agency

Playbooks that took weeks now run in days — without adding headcount or cost.

Powered by Violet

Our analytics infrastructure gives every decision a trusted LTV:CAC signal, not guesswork.

Humans stay in charge

AI does the heavy lifting; senior operators own strategy, judgment and your number.

+100
Operators in the loop, always.
Every model, every draft, every allocation call is supervised by a senior operator who owns your number.

How is an AI-first agency different from a normal one?

We run the same growth functions a great agency does, and we leverage the most advanced AI to be smarter, faster and more effective at every stage, supervised by growth operators. As AI advances, we float on top, while old-school agencies fall behind.

Are you a marketing agency?

Yes. Exactius is a growth agency accountable for its clients' P&L: performance marketing, strategy, creative, and whole-business analytics and data science, engaged one function at a time or as a full team, for consumer brands from $5M to $100M.

What does working with Exactius actually look like?

We run against your financial goals with real-time LTV:CAC visibility, own the number alongside your team, and bring you the calls that need a decision. Engage the full squad, a single focus lane, or just the analytics layer.

What kinds of companies do you work with?
