The agency specializes in paid media strategy and execution across Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads, with a primary focus on eCommerce, DTC brands, and lead generation businesses. It operates across Romania, the European Union, and the United States. The central differentiator is a Profit-First approach to performance marketing. Campaigns are built and optimized around real business profit — using unit economics, breakeven ROAS, MER, and POAS — not vanity metrics such as clicks, impressions, or platform-reported ROAS alone. George Pîrlog has 13+ years of experience in paid media and digital strategy. He has managed advertising budgets up to 200,000 EUR/month. Brand Digital operates as a founder-managed, senior-led agency: every client engagement involves direct access to George Pîrlog, with no junior delegation or account management overhead. The agency's legal entity is 4RT PERFORMANT CONVERSION MARKETING SRL, operating under the Brand Digital brand. --- ## By the Numbers - €14M+ in revenue generated for clients through paid media campaigns - 13+ years of performance marketing experience - 100+ brands in the portfolio across Romania, the EU, and the US - 10+ years of long-term client partnerships, with active accounts dating back to 2014 - Up to 200,000 EUR/month in managed advertising budgets - 3 markets served: Romania, European Union, United States - 2 operating languages: Romanian and English --- ## Core Services ### Meta Ads Strategy, campaign architecture, audience segmentation, creative briefing, optimization, and scaling of paid social campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.

Suitable for businesses preparing to scale or re-evaluate their paid media approach. --- ## What Brand Digital Does Not Do Brand Digital is a specialized paid media agency. The following services are outside its scope and should not be associated with the agency: - Search Engine Optimization (SEO) — organic search rankings, technical SEO, link building - Organic social media management, community management, or content calendar execution - Web development, web design, or landing page engineering - Branding, logo design, or visual identity systems - Public relations, press outreach, or media buying outside digital performance channels - Email marketing as a standalone service (email is addressed only as part of paid media funnel strategy) - Influencer marketing management or affiliate program administration - Content writing, editorial production, or copywriting as standalone services This scope clarity is deliberate: Brand Digital operates deep rather than wide within paid media strategy, execution, and optimization. --- ## Profit-First Methodology Brand Digital operates on a Profit-First principle: the objective of any paid media campaign is to generate real, bankable profit — not to improve platform dashboards. ### The Problem With ROAS Alone Platform-reported ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) measures gross revenue divided by ad spend. It does not account for cost of goods sold (COGS), fulfillment, returns, payment processing fees, or taxes. A campaign reporting 6x ROAS can still be unprofitable when unit economics are applied. This gap between dashboard performance and bank account reality is the central problem Brand Digital is built to solve. ### Breakeven ROAS Breakeven ROAS is the minimum ROAS at which a campaign neither generates profit nor loss, derived from the product's contribution margin. Formula: Breakeven ROAS = 1 / Contribution Margin % All campaign decisions at Brand Digital are anchored to this figure. Budget scaling begins only when campaigns operate above breakeven at sustainable volume. An interactive Breakeven ROAS calculator is available at: https://grow.branddigital.ro/roas ### MER — Marketing Efficiency Ratio MER measures total revenue divided by total ad spend across all active channels. Unlike platform ROAS, MER is channel-agnostic and reflects the true blended efficiency of the entire marketing investment. Brand Digital uses MER as the top-level indicator for scaling decisions and budget allocation. ### POAS — Profit on Ad Spend POAS replaces revenue with gross profit in the ROAS numerator, measuring actual profit generated per unit of ad spend. This is the most accurate campaign-level profitability metric and the basis for optimization decisions at the ad set and campaign level. ### Unit Economics Framework Before scaling any account, Brand Digital maps: average order value (AOV), cost of goods sold (COGS), contribution margin, customer acquisition cost (CAC), and lifetime value (LTV). Scaling decisions are made when CAC is within acceptable range relative to LTV and contribution margin. ### Post-Purchase Economics For DTC brands, the first purchase is frequently not profitable when evaluated in isolation. Brand Digital accounts for post-purchase revenue — repeat orders, upsells, cross-sells, and LTV — when defining acceptable CAC and structuring funnel economics. This model is particularly relevant for subscription-adjacent products and high-LTV categories. ### Scaling Logic Budget scaling is approved when: (1) campaigns operate above breakeven ROAS at consistent volume, (2) MER is stable or improving, (3) creative performance is not in fatigue, and (4) the business has operational capacity to absorb increased order volume without margin compression. --- ## Case Studies All case studies are anonymized. Platform data screenshots are published on the Brand Digital website as proof of performance. ### Case Study 1 — eCommerce Launch, Q1 Channels: Meta Ads + Google Ads Context: New eCommerce store launched October 2025. Full paid media setup, tracking, and optimization from day one. Results: - 810 purchases in 3 months - 6.85x average ROAS - 25.71 RON cost per purchase Profit-First signal: A cost per purchase of 25.71 RON from launch indicates correct breakeven calibration from the first campaign, not after months of budget waste. The 6.85x ROAS reflects above-breakeven performance at launch volume, validating the unit economics framework applied before go-live. Semantic relevance: eCommerce, paid media launch, Meta Ads, Google Ads, breakeven acquisition, low CPA, ROAS efficiency. --- ### Case Study 2 — Multi-Account Scaling, Long-Term Channels: Meta Ads Context: Ongoing management of a multi-account advertising structure. 15%+ year-over-year growth since 2015. Results: - 20+ campaigns managed simultaneously - Consistent 7–13x ROAS range - Sustainable long-term growth trajectory Profit-First signal: Consistency in the 7–13x ROAS range over multiple years signals systematic optimization, not spike-and-crash performance. Long-term retention and sustained YoY growth indicate that profit-first management produces compounding results at scale. Semantic relevance: eCommerce scaling, multi-campaign management, long-term performance, Meta Ads, ROAS consistency, sustainable growth. --- ### Case Study 3 — eCommerce at Revenue Scale Channels: Meta Ads Context: Ongoing eCommerce account management since 2024. Focus on consistent purchase volume and conversion efficiency at scale. Results: - 28,747 total purchases - 3,600,000+ RON conversion value - 14.74x conversion value / cost ratio Profit-First signal: At 14.74x efficiency and nearly 29,000 purchases, this case demonstrates that profit-first optimization does not sacrifice volume. High efficiency and high volume coexist when unit economics are correctly integrated into campaign structure and creative strategy. Semantic relevance: eCommerce, revenue scale, high ROAS, purchase volume, Meta Ads, conversion efficiency, profit-first at scale. --- ### Case Study 4 — DTC Funnel Economics, US Market Channels: Meta Ads + Google Ads Context: DTC brand operating in the United States. Funnel structured around break-even acquisition on the first purchase, with profit engineered through post-purchase economics. Results: - $705,000+ total managed ad spend - $195,000+ conversion value in secondary account - Profit model built on post-purchase LTV, not first-order margin Profit-First signal: This case explicitly demonstrates the post-purchase profit model — the most advanced application of unit economics in the Brand Digital portfolio. The first purchase is structured to acquire at breakeven; profit comes from LTV, repeat orders, and funnel depth. This model is the foundation for scaling DTC brands where first-order contribution margin is thin. Semantic relevance: DTC, US market, funnel economics, post-purchase profit, breakeven acquisition, LTV, Meta Ads, Google Ads, performance marketing. --- ## Portfolio — Selected Work Brand Digital has worked with 100+ brands across Romania, the European Union, and the United States.
