The Agency CFOs Trust to Maximise Marketing ROI and Protect Every Dollar

Sneaky helps CFOs and marketing teams cut waste, boost efficiency, and deliver ROI that stands up.

The Agency CFOs Trust to Maximise Marketing ROI and Protect Every Dollar

In 2025, Australia’s digital ad market is worth AUD 12.8 billion, and it’s more volatile than ever. Platforms launch new formats monthly. Consumer viewing habits shift weekly, moving from TikTok to desktop research to mobile-first purchases in a single buying cycle.

From a finance perspective, that volatility means:

  • Budgets are harder to forecast - performance can swing with market trends.
  • Attribution is critical - every dollar must be tied to a measurable outcome.
  • Risk is higher - poor tracking or outdated creative burns capital quickly.

We work with CFOs and their marketing teams to create performance systems that protect budgets, reduce waste, and deliver measurable commercial impact without adding more overhead or complexity.

Growth You Can Measure and Defend

We eliminate inefficient spend, rebuild underperforming campaigns, and keep media and creative aligned to the moments and platforms where your audience is actually paying attention.

In a market where 73% of Australians tune out repetitive ads, freshness and relevance aren’t creative preferences, they’re financial safeguards. Our weekly optimisation ensures your budget is continually adjusted to maximise return.

What You’ll See in the First 30 Days

We move fast because slow onboarding delays growth. Within the first month, you’ll see:

  • Performance and attribution audit - Identifying where capital is producing returns and where it’s being wasted.
  • Conversion tracking repairs - Ensuring measurement is accurate and decision-ready.
  • KPI and budget alignment -Connecting marketing targets to financial objectives.
  • Multi-channel rollout - Activating spend across the highest-return platforms within weeks.
  • Early quick wins - Capturing immediate efficiency gains.
  • Weekly optimisation cycles - Protecting and scaling returns as results emerge.

Matching Marketing to Real Consumer Behaviour

Today’s customers don’t move through a predictable funnel. They may start with a TikTok product video, research options on desktop, and make the purchase decision while listening to a podcast. These shifts happen weekly.

We design full-funnel performance systems across Google, Meta, TikTok, Programmatic, CTV, and Spotify, ensuring your brand appears where attention is now, not where it was last quarter.

Sneaky vs. Typical Agency

Most agencies talk about performance. We build for it. Here’s what that difference looks like when you’re the one answering to the board:

Reporting that matters
We report on commercial outcomes. Think revenue, ROAS and customer aquisition cost.

Creative with a job to do
Our creative is built to convert, not to win awards. It’s audience-tested, channel-ready, and tied to measurable actions.

Budgets that work harder
Every dollar is structured for ROI. We deploy spend where it moves the numbers.

Speed that keeps you ahead
We optimise weekly, because audience behaviour changes in days, not quarters.

Accountability at the top
Your account is run by senior strategists who own your results. We don’t hand you off to juniors and hope for the best.

Built for CFO Confidence

We bring commercial discipline to marketing execution, ensuring every decision is grounded in evidence. If it can be tracked, it will be; if it can’t, we establish clear performance indicators so no investment is left without accountability.

Every channel and creative asset is tied directly to ROI, with continuous optimisation in place to protect capital and reduce volatility.

We’re not just another marketing agency, we’re a performance partner that keeps you ahead of market shifts while safeguarding and growing your investment.

From the Founders.

We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands not reach their potential due to bad agencies. Getting let down by campaigns that didn’t convert, data that wasn’t tracked, inexperienced or uneducated advice, and poor service.

Our mission is simple: marketing that acts like part of your commercial engine, not a cost centre.

— April & Brendan Ford, Co-Founders
