About Wave

We're a performance marketing team obsessed with proof.

Wave Marketing was built on one idea: every pound of ad spend should be able to explain itself. That means data-led decisions, certified specialists, and reporting you can check yourself.

Our story

13+ years of getting closer to the number that matters.

Wave Marketing grew out of over a decade of hands-on performance marketing — inside Google, across leading UK agencies, and managing multi-million-pound budgets as a Performance Director for Social and PPC.

That background — paired with a mathematical engineering degree — is why the agency leans so heavily on automation, forecasting and account audits instead of guesswork. We founded Wave to bring that same rigour to more brands, not just the ones with global media budgets.

The path so far

A rough shape, not a precise scale — the milestones are what matter here.

How we think about the work

The principles behind every account, whatever the platform.

Audit before you spend

We score every channel — SEO, Paid Social, Paid Search, Programmatic, MarTech — before recommending where budget goes, using a nascent-to-mature scoring framework rather than a hunch.

Forecast the peaks

Black Friday, Christmas, Ramadan — every major trading window gets modelled against prior years so budget lands ahead of demand, not scrambling to catch up.

Automate the repeatable

DSA adoption, dynamic pricing feeds, cookieless tracking — automation handles the repeatable work so time goes into strategy and creative, not manual uploads.

Report what you'd calculate

Standardised UTMs and a fixed reporting cadence mean the numbers you see match what you'd get pulling the raw data yourself.

Stay certified, not stale

Platforms change constantly. Certifications get renewed, not just earned once and forgotten.

Fit how you work

Embedded alongside your internal team, or running fully standalone — the structure adapts to you, not the other way round.

How an engagement actually runs

The same five steps on every account, so nothing gets missed.

01

Audit

We score every channel you're active on — and a few you might not be — against current performance and future potential, so the starting point is a number, not an opinion.

02

Strategy

Budget, seasonality plan and KPIs get set based on what the audit actually found, not a generic template applied to every client.

03

Launch

Campaigns are built and QA'd across every relevant platform before a single pound is spent live.

04

Optimise

Automation, creative testing and bid management run continuously through the campaign lifecycle, not as a quarterly check-in.

05

Report

Transparent, standardised reporting on a fixed cadence — the same numbers you'd calculate yourself from the raw platform data.

Certified across the stack

Kept current, so strategy is never running on last year's playbook.
