Fractional growth team for D2C brands

Scale your D2C brand profitably, with a senior operator on your account.

Fractional CMO and performance marketing for founder-led brands doing ₹10L–₹1Cr a month. Meta, Google, funnel and retention in one plan, measured on contribution margin, not ROAS screenshots.

Free 5-minute video review of your ads, product page and checkout, with 3 fixes you can ship this week.

If your blended ROAS sits near this line, each new order adds revenue but no profit. Finding the room above it is where the audit starts.

The problem

Early-stage founders get stuck between two bad options.

An agency puts a junior on your account. A full-time CMO costs more than your marketing budget. D2C Shark sits in between.

About

Hi, I'm Deepak.

I've spent 7 years in digital marketing, building and scaling paid growth for consumer brands. I started D2C Shark to give founder-led brands the kind of senior thinking that usually only funded companies can afford.

I run every account myself. I use AI for research, creative briefs and reporting, which lets one senior operator do the work of a small agency team, without handing your brand to a junior.

  • 01
    Profit before ROAS. Every plan starts from your margins, not the ad platform's dashboard.
  • 02
    Creative is the targeting. Most growth comes from testing new angles, not new audiences.
  • 03
    Fix the funnel first. More traffic into a leaky product page just costs more.

FAQ

Before you book.

Who is this for?

Founder-led D2C brands doing roughly ₹10L to ₹1Cr a month in revenue, already running Meta ads, without a senior marketer in-house. Most are on Shopify.

Is ad spend included in the fee?

No. Ad spend is paid directly by you to Meta and Google. Once monthly spend goes above ₹15L, the fee becomes the flat retainer or 10% of spend, whichever is higher.

How long is the contract?

Retainers have a 3-month minimum, billed monthly in advance. After that, it's month to month with 30 days' notice.

Do you work with brands outside India?

Yes. I work with brands in the US, UK and UAE, priced in USD. Calls are scheduled to overlap with your working hours.

Do you handle creative production?

I write the angles, hooks, scripts and shoot briefs. Production is done by your team or creators I can recommend, so you own the assets.
