Shopify Fashion Brand Cuts CAC by 41% with a Dedicated Meta Ads Specialist

A Shopify-based women's fashion brand

The brand had been running Meta campaigns in-house for 14 months with a $22,000/month ad budget but was averaging a 1.4x ROAS — far below the 3x threshold needed to scale profitably. Customer acquisition cost had crept up to $74 per new buyer, and a poorly structured retargeting stack meant 63% of spend was going to audiences that had already purchased within 30 days.

B2B SaaS Startup Grows Qualified Pipeline 3.2x in 4 Months with Growth + Email Specialists

A B2B SaaS startup (Series A, project management vertical)

After closing a $4.2M Series A, the company had a 9-person team but no dedicated marketing function. Their outbound email open rate was 11.3% and reply rate was 1.8% — both below industry benchmarks — and the SDR team was closing only 6 discovery calls per month from inbound. Monthly recurring revenue had plateaued at $47,000 for three consecutive quarters despite an active sales team.

US Marketing Agency Adds $31,000/Month in Revenue Without a Single New Hire

A US-based performance marketing agency (12 full-time staff)

The agency had grown from $480,000 to $780,000 in annual revenue over 18 months, but its core team of 12 was at 94% utilization — turning down new client accounts worth roughly $45,000/month in potential billings due to capacity constraints. Hiring domestically would have added $180,000+ in annual payroll before benefits, making margin-accretive growth nearly impossible at their billing rates.

UK Home Services Company Reaches Google Local Pack in 11 Weeks, Drives 94% More Inbound Leads

A UK-based residential plumbing and heating company (family-owned, 8 engineers)

Despite 11 years in operation and 400+ verified customer reviews, the business was invisible in local search. For 23 of its top 30 target keywords (e.g., "emergency plumber Manchester", "boiler installation Manchester"), it ranked outside the top 50 on Google and had zero presence in the 3-Pack. A competitor with fewer reviews and a newer Google Business Profile was capturing the majority of high-intent local traffic, and the owner estimated losing 12–18 jobs per month to that one rival alone.

How the managed-talent model works

EverestX is not a marketplace (no unvetted bidding), not an agency (no retainer markup), and not a staffing firm (no long-term contracts). Here is the exact model behind every case study on this page.

01

48-hour match

Submit a hiring request. EverestX introduces a pre-vetted specialist within 48 hours — no job posting, no interviewing, no weeks-long search.

02

Real vetting, not self-reported

Every specialist completes a real account audit, tool proficiency check, video interview, and human review before receiving EverestX Ready status. 28 roles across 6 categories.

03

Dedicated Talent Success Manager

Every engagement includes a TSM — your single point of contact who handles performance check-ins, priority alignment, and replacement coordination.

04

Flat hourly pricing — no hidden fees

Full-time: $10–$12/hr (~$1,700–$2,100/month). Part-time: $14–$16/hr (~$1,200–$1,400/month). Zero upfront, zero recruitment fees, zero % of ad spend.

05

Free replacement guarantee

If the specialist is not the right fit at any point, the TSM replaces them at no cost — unlimited, no questions asked.

06

US / UK / AU / CA timezone coverage

Specialists are globally sourced but operate in your business timezone. Clients across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia are served.
