After more than eight years leading digital advertising strategies in London, co-founders Yee and Clàudia saw a growing disconnect in the industry - especially for ambitious startups and scaleups that can’t afford to wait. In early 2020, they hit pause on their careers to travel. When the pandemic brought the world to a standstill, they found themselves unexpectedly stranded in Whitianga, a small coastal town on New Zealand’s North Island.
Amidst lockdown, they reflected on what truly matters for growth-stage businesses: speed, transparency and an intimate understanding of investors’ expectations.
From that unexpected leap of faith, POD Studios was born, an independent paid-digital agency purpose-built for businesses from Seed to Series D funding.
Traditional agencies talk about “turnaround times” and SLAs. We know that for a Seed to Series D backed team, speed is of the essence. That’s why we designed our entire operation around the PACE Loop (Plan → Activate → Calibrate → Expand).
Having managed millions of pounds of ad spend across fintech, travel, B2B and beyond, we understand the metrics that matter to investors and how to translate them into a paid-media roadmap. We’ve helped dozens of VC-backed companies demonstrate traction before their next close so we know how to help you get to the next round.
We’re not tied to any holding group or trading desk. That means we always prioritise your ROI, negotiating directly with platforms and publishers.
We explain things clearly and keep jargon to a minimum. You’ll always understand why we recommend a particular test, channel or budget shift.
We build rapid learning loops into every campaign. By acting on real-time data, your team sees every decision and learns alongside us.
You don’t get a separate “agency voice.” We slot into your marketing team and work as one.
Behind every KPI is a founder or marketing team under pressure to deliver. We remember that it’s not just about clicks; it’s about the people working together to build something meaningful.
