A boutique creative partner for 7- and 8-figure DTC brands.
"One of the best partners we have ever worked with."
"If you're not working with Strand Media you're missing out."
"Since Ole took over, we've seen immediate results."
"Ole will take your business to the next level."
Real outcomes from the brands we've partnered with.
In 2020, I tripled my family's e-commerce business through Meta ads.
Since then, I have managed over $6 million in ad spend and partnered with leading 7- and 8-figure DTC brands in Europe, the US, and Australia.
I founded 8FC because in 2026 creative is the moat for e-commerce brands.
The story, visuals, and messaging matter more than the ad management.
I keep the team lean to provide hands-on service and consistently strong results.
When you work with us, you will collaborate directly with me, my creative strategist, and our lead video editor.
Our goal is to prove that a lean, creative-first team can launch the next generation of DTC giants.
We prioritize effectiveness over quantity by conducting thorough preparation to identify what will succeed before launching any ads.
We conduct in-depth research on your customers, including their challenges, purchasing behavior, and online activity. We also analyze your competitors, reviewing their strategies, customer feedback, and market performance. This comprehensive approach distinguishes us from agencies that rely solely on trial and error.
Unlike many agencies, we thoroughly review your existing ad account data. We analyze all previous tests before developing new strategies to ensure your budget is used efficiently and avoid redundant experiments.
We use creators from our network, AI-generated video and static content, user-generated b-roll from our content library, and your existing assets. We determine sourcing and development needs before drafting any briefs.
Each batch focuses on a single concept delivered in multiple formats to ensure creative diversity. We use our intention arbitrage framework to align every brief with your current business objectives.
We launch campaigns in your ad account and manage spending daily. Key metrics such as CTR, hook rate, and CVR inform our creative strategy, with each batch's results guiding future efforts.
We take a collaborative approach to concept development, working closely with your team on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Your insights are invaluable, and our joint discussions consistently produce the strongest ideas.
Media buying is being commoditized. The lasting advantage is human taste and creative strategy. We build creative that emphasizes long-term brand equity as much as short-term profitable growth.
A small crew, hand-picked by Ole. Everyone here works on a limited roster of brands so the involvement stays deep.
Tell us about your brand and where you want to take it. We'll show you what good creative can do.
Yes, and it often works better that way. We run our creatives alongside whatever your team is creating. Think of it as healthy competition inside one account.
We've done this with brands that already had strong in-house teams, found bigger winners with our concepts, and scaled the account beyond what they were doing on their own. Your team also picks up on what's working from our side, so the bar lifts across the board.
Specific and measurable. We agree on the metric upfront, usually purchase ROAS or cost per purchase, at a defined spend threshold so we're comparing apples to apples.
We benchmark against the top creative running in your account on day one, then run our creatives for 90 days. If none beat that benchmark, we keep working until one does.
We work for free for up to 3 months past the 90-day mark. By then, even if no single creative has unseated your original top performer, the account usually has enough new winners that your bottom line is already in a better place.
You can also choose to end the partnership at the 90-day mark. Your call.
Every brand is different. The scope depends on how many concepts we run each week, what we source for you, and whether we handle media buying alongside creative. We scope it on the first call once we've reviewed your account.
The first batch of ads launches within 2 to 3 weeks of onboarding. From there, we test and read data every week.
The compounding kicks in around month 2 once we've run a few rounds. By 90 days, you should see a clear shift in the account.
End-to-end. Research, creative briefs, sourcing from our creator network, AI-generated assets when it makes sense, editing, statics, video, daily media buying, and weekly reads on the data.
You don't need a separate creative agency, producer, or media buyer alongside us.
We manage Meta only. But the creatives we make are yours to use anywhere.
Many of our clients run our ads on TikTok and other platforms too.
You work directly with me, my creative strategist, and our lead video editor. No account managers between you and the people doing the work.
After a few weeks together, the creative should feel like it came from your own in-house team.
Quick. We send a brief intake form, get view access to your ad account, and review everything that's already been tested.
Then we hop on a strategy session to align on goals, which mode we're starting in, and the first batch of concepts. Usually 5 to 7 days from sign-on to the first batch going live.
Yes, where it makes the work better. AI is good at certain parts of the job: generating variations, sourcing references, voiceovers, and b-roll when shooting isn't practical.
The strategy and taste decisions stay with us. Our goal is creative that looks crafted, not generated.
We cap our roster at 10 brands at a time. Anything more and we can't keep the involvement deep enough to find real winners.
If you see a calendar slot open, we have capacity. If not, the waitlist is real.
