WE DEFINE PERFORMANCE MARKETING AS:

Data, creative, and strategy working together to maximize ROI

ROI-Focused Performance Marketing Agency for Growth Brands Ready to Scale

At Born & Bred, we’re a performance marketing agency built for growth-focused brands. Our team blends data-driven paid media strategy with high-performing creative to build campaigns that convert — fast. From paid social and search to CRO and full-funnel optimization, every move we make is engineered for ROI.

Stop Guessing. Start Growing.

Creative Tailored for Performance Channels

Your ad creative might look good, but it doesn't perform well in paid media's fast-paced, results-driven media environment. We bridge the gap between creative and performance, developing ad concepts and assets specifically designed to capture attention, communicate value quickly, and drive action.

We specialize in developing data-driven paid media strategies for scalable growth, employing advanced targeting, A/B testing, and conversion rate optimization (CRO) techniques to lower CAC and accelerate customer acquisition.

Maximize Ad Spend & ROI

As an ROI-focused digital marketing agency, we meticulously plan, execute, and optimize campaigns, ensuring every dollar spent contributes directly to achieving your core business objectives.

Companies that excel at lead nurturing generate 50% more sales-ready leads at 33% lower cost.

Eric Perinotti

Design Senior Manager, Corporate + Communications

After six years and six million deliveries, it was time to revisit the Eaze brand to make sure it aligned with how we’ve evolved as a company. Born & Bred were great partners through the process. They’re unafraid of taking strategic creative risks and did an incredible job of capturing where Eaze is today, and where we want to go.

Rogelio Choy

CEO

What does "brand" even mean? I use to think of myself as a product founder. Build awesome products, and you'll have an awesome company. Boy was I wrong!! Brand is so much more than pretty colors and aspirational phrases. It's the very essence of who you are, and why you do what you do.

We partnered with Checkmate to build a brand that matched the product’s innovation and utility. Starting with strategy and messaging, we crafted a visual and verbal identity system that felt smart, modern, and trustworthy.

We extended this language into illustrations, animations, and a dynamic web experience — all working together to enhance the user journey and reflect the ease of saving with Checkmate.

Expert insights for brand building success

In a world of fleeting attention spans, consistent and meaningful engagement is key. It's not about bombarding your audience but connecting with them through relevant, valuable interactions over time.

04 Take the Risk, Be Brave

You know those brands that you love and strive to be? They all made the hard, bold choice. The market rewards bravery. Brands that resonate are often those willing to make bold, unconventional choices. Don't shy away from standing out.

FAQs

How can you measure how effective a brand is?

Effectiveness isn’t a vibe — it’s measurable. We look at KPIs like awareness, engagement, lead gen, conversion rates, and brand lift studies. For campaigns, we also measure traffic, CTR, CPA, and ROAS. A strong brand shows up in both performance metrics and customer loyalty.

What happens if I go over revision rounds?

We build in clear checkpoints and feedback loops to minimize endless tweaks — but if you need more rounds, we’ll keep the momentum going with transparent scope adjustments. No surprise charges, just smart collaboration.

Should we test the brand with our audience?

If you’re making a big shift or launching in a high-stakes category, audience testing can be invaluable. We offer both qualitative and quantitative research to pressure-test concepts and make confident, data-backed decisions.

How involved will we need to be during the brand building process?

You're not signing up for a second job — but your input is key. We lead the process, but your vision, feedback, and insights fuel the work. We’ll align upfront on expectations and timing so it’s smooth and efficient.

Do you use AI when building brands?

Yes—but think of it as a creative sidekick, not the main event. We use AI to accelerate research, generate early concepts, and test creative performance. But the magic? That still comes from human intuition and cultural insight.

What collaboration tools do you use during the process?

We keep things streamlined and accessible. Expect Figma for creative, Google Docs for strategy and timelines, and Slack or email for daily updates — whatever fits your team best.

Can we go viral?

Maybe. But virality isn’t a strategy — impact is. We design campaigns that are built to perform and scale, not just trend and disappear.

Do you do boring campaigns too?

Only if they work. But honestly? We’d rather help you build something bold, differentiated, and conversion-ready. Because beige doesn’t break through.
