Find and hire a senior
A senior eCommerce growth consultant who owns performance media, conversion, lifecycle and retention, and growth analytics. One operator who moves revenue, not an agency retainer.
A senior eCommerce growth consultant who owns performance media, conversion, lifecycle and retention, and growth analytics
Our eCommerce growth consultant has run acquisition and retention for brands at scale, not a junior managing one channel in isolation.
Most teams split media, conversion, and retention across vendors. The same operator owns acquisition, on-site conversion, and lifecycle so the whole funnel compounds.
We tie work to contribution margin, customer acquisition cost, and repeat rate, not to impressions or a vanity return on ad spend.
Most ecommerce growth stalls for one of two reasons: acquisition that buys traffic the site cannot convert, or a retention gap that lets hard-won customers churn. An eCommerce growth consultant from Chameleon Collective owns the full funnel, so paid media, conversion, and lifecycle pull in the same direction instead of working against each other.
You work with the operator who builds the plan and runs it, not an account manager relaying a brief to a junior buyer. The eCommerce growth consultant who diagnoses the funnel is the one who fixes it.
Scaling spend is easy; scaling profit is the job. We manage performance media against contribution margin and payback, so growth holds up when the discount stops and the blended cost of acquisition is what actually matters.
A growth consultant who ignores the on-site experience leaves revenue on the table. We work product pages, checkout, and merchandising alongside the media so more of the traffic you pay for turns into orders.
First orders rarely pay back on their own. We build the lifecycle, email, and loyalty motion that lifts repeat rate and customer lifetime value, the metrics that make paid acquisition sustainable.
A growth audit with a senior eCommerce growth consultant, scoped to your acquisition, conversion, and retention.
We scope to the levers that move your revenue, not a fixed channel checklist.
For proof, our work for Malin+Goetz reset the eCommerce growth strategy across acquisition and retention, and our Biocodex engagement stood up the hiring plan behind a growth team. Real brands, real operators.

Common questions from teams evaluating an eCommerce growth consultant.
Engagements are scoped to the work and the cadence you need, not a fixed retainer plus a percentage of media spend. You get a fixed scope after an initial growth audit, so you see the cost before anything ships.
The whole funnel, with one owner. The point of a senior eCommerce growth consultant over a single-channel buyer is that acquisition, conversion, and retention stay connected, so spend is not scaling traffic the site cannot convert or keep.
Paid search and social, retail and marketplace media including Amazon, plus the email, SMS, and loyalty stack on the retention side. We work in your existing tools rather than forcing a re-platform.
We tie work to contribution margin, customer acquisition cost, payback period, and repeat rate, not to impressions or a blended return on ad spend that hides the unit economics. Profitable growth is the standard.
Conversion and media quick wins show up in the first weeks, while retention and lifetime value compound over a couple of quarters. We set the expectation against your category and starting point, not a generic benchmark.
Yes. We can run growth end to end, or set the strategy and standards and hand execution to your team or agency. We scope ownership explicitly at the start.
Directly. Chameleon Collective is a senior-only collective, so there is no account-management layer between you and the operator who runs your growth.
