Performance marketing that grows your profit, not just your spend.

We're a boutique performance marketing consultancy with a unique edge. We've been in your shoes before & scaled our own brand to £3m+ in revenue with our own money. Now we do the same for eCommerce brands looking to push to the next level via Meta and Google. Built and run personally by an ex-Googler who has consulted on $200M+ in ad spend.

Why Canoe

Trained inside Google. Proven on our own brand.

Most consultants have read about scaling. Eoghan has done it multiple times over: once with his own brand and multiples over at Google consulting the UK's largest brands.

Google

$200M+ in ad spend, consulted on from inside Google.

With 2.5 years experience consulting at and for Google on the UK's largest brands. Through developing and implementing a profit first growth approach through Shopping, Search and Performance Max built around the clients unique margins, not the blanket approach a traditional Meta/Google-first agency guesses at them.

$200M+Ad spend consulted on

ciúb, our own brand

£0 to £3M+ in under three years.

What started as a Packing Cubes brand has grown and scaled in a full travel brand across the Ireland, UK & USA through Meta, Google & Klavyio. With an in depth understanding of supply chain management, cash flow management, inventory management, unit economics and the pain of scaling through lived experience, not theorised. Every strategy we recommend has been tested here first with real money.

What our clients say

In their words.

Eoghan isn't just a Meta ads consultant he's a partner who truly cares about your business's success and goes above and beyond on every occasion where he believes he can add value. We've been working together for a year now and with his help we've consistently exceeded every single unrealistic target we've set. Not only is he a delight to work with but I'm confident we can achieve any crazy revenue number we set our minds to. No words are enough to praise him!

How we work with you

Three ways in. All built around profit.

Every retainer is a flat monthly fee, never a percentage of spend. Where you start depends on where your business actually is.

Single platform

Meta or Google, fully managed

One channel, built and run by Eoghan. Whether that's unlocking your audience via Meta or through using Google as your customer acquisition engine we'll work with you entirely around where each £ can be most profitably spent for your business.

Combined

Meta and Google together

Both platforms run as one coordinated acquisition engine, with cross-channel attribution and a single profit model. This is where most brands end up once one channel is working.

Sprints

Klaviyo coaching & CRO foundations

One-off, fixed-scope projects. A 6-week Klaviyo coaching sprint, or a CRO and tracking foundations sprint for younger brands that need conversion rate fixed before ads make sense.

Working together

You don't hand over the account. You come along with it.

Most agencies run your ads and send you a report. We run your ads with you. Every call is part strategy, part coaching, so you understand why we're doing what we're doing, not just what the numbers say.

  • Weekly calls that explain the why

    Not a performance readout. We walk through the decisions, the tests and the reasoning so the strategy makes sense to you.

  • Profit over ROAS

    We optimise for your margin goals and real business outcomes. Platform ROAS is an input, not the goal.

  • Flat retainers, always

    Never a percentage of spend. Our incentive is your profitability, not getting you to spend more.

  • Direct access to the person running it

    You work with Eoghan with direct WhatsApp access. No junior account managers, no summaries written by someone who didn't touch the account.

I treat every client like I'm coaching you through the account. If you can't explain the strategy back to me & understand what we've done I haven't done my job. My goal is that you understand your growth engine well enough to own without me.

Who we work with

Built for brands with something to scale.

We keep the client base small on purpose. 

Canoe is right for you if

  • You're already doing £10k+ a month and want to grow it profitably
  • You want to understand your paid marketing, not just outsource it
  • You care about margin and profit, not just top-line revenue
  • You're up for weekly calls and an honest conversation about the numbers
  • Your product has a margin that works and a story worth telling

Probably not the right fit if

  • You're pre-revenue or still validating the product
  • You want someone to "just run the ads" and never speak to you
  • You'd rather be judged on ROAS than on profit
  • You're looking for a fee tied to how much you spend

Let's find out if we're a fit.

30 minutes. We'll look at your numbers, talk through how we'd approach your brand, and see how we work together. No deck, no pressure.

Case studies

Real brands. 
Real numbers.
Real growth.

Every result here came from the same approach: understand the unit economics, build the right strategy, test systematically, and scale what works.

Hair accessories · Meta ads · Sep 2025 → Aug 2026

From £1.9k months to £48k months 
in 12 months.

This founder had spent thousands on "Meta ad gurus" and was generating £500–£1k a month with little to show for it. We started with the unit economics: what's the real break-even, and how do we scale while staying profitable as we find the right messaging? Then we tested hard across personas, angles and creative until something resonated, and scaled it with intent.

Twelve months in, the brand has done £221k in sales against £4.4k in the same period the year before. August 2026 was their biggest month yet at £48.5k, and every month since May has been a new record.

Escaping "£10k jail" to £45k months.

When this client came onboard in March 2025 they were doing around £10-11k a month and had been for a while, the classic plateau where the ads sort of work but nothing moves the needle. We started with unit costs and margin and rebuilt Meta around a persona-based testing system. Then when it was time to scale & push harder we opened Google (Shopping, Search, brand defence) to capture the excess demand Meta was creating while scaling further via their categories search trends.

This UK brand arrived in late May 2025 having already underperformed through their peak season, down 22% year to date with limited runway to recover. A combined paid media and Klaviyo strategy completely reversed the trajectory. They finished the year up 14% at £336k in revenue on a 4.47x return on ad spend.

About

Built by someone who's done it, not just advised on it.

Canoe was founded by Eoghan McLoughlin: a performance marketer who spent years inside Google consulting on $200M+ in ad spend for the UK's largest brands, generated $45M+ in revenue for DTC brands agency-side, then built his own eCommerce brand, ciúb, to £3M+ on Meta and Google. He still builds and runs every client account himself. Canoe was born out of a challenge: could the thinking that scaled ciúb be applied to other brands? The answer was yes, but only if every strategy starts from that brand's own unit economics. There's no universal 3x, and anyone who's run a business knows it.

Experience

The background behind the approach.

Google
Enterprise advertising

$200M+ in ad spend for the UK's largest brands.

Consulting on over $200M in advertising across some of the UK's biggest advertisers. This is where the profit-first approach was formed: building holistic paid media strategies at enterprise scale, with attribution modelling and full-funnel growth planning rather than channel-by-channel optimisation.

Boutique agency
Performance marketing

$15M in spend. $45M in client revenue. UK, Ireland and the US.

Running Meta acquisition across multiple DTC brands at once: creative testing systems, scaling strategy, and a working understanding of how attribution behaves (and misbehaves) across channels.

ciúb
Founder

Building a real brand from nothing.

ciúb started as a Packing Cube brand built and scaled across the Ireland, the UK & USA: £3M+ revenue, 75,000+ customers and 4,500+ five-star reviews. It also meant living the hard parts.. supply chain, logistics, cash flow, inventory, unit economics and the pain of scaling. Every strategy Canoe recommends has been tested on ciúb first, with real money and real consequences.

Canoe Consulting
Founder

A consultancy grown entirely through referrals.

Flat retainers, founder-level involvement, and a way of working where clients learn the strategy rather than just receive it. Every client so far has come from another client.

Our own brand

We run a brand. We know what it feels like.

Every bid structure, creative test and email sequence we recommend has been validated there first.

When we talk about break-even ROAS, we know ours. 

When we talk about contribution margin, we've modelled ours. 
That's what makes the advice credible.
