You've seen the menu, now meet the chefs.

Don't dive into a relationship before knowing your partner inside out.
Here's the 411 on us.

Starting with some proper name, place name, backstory stuff...

A star is born. We are the star.

It's 2018 in Melbourne, and DataSauce has officially gone from idea to full-fledged digital marketing agency.

We quickly landed our first client (in the luxury homewares space) and went proper legit — which, in this case, meant we became Google and Meta (then-Facebook) agency partners.

Biggest growth spurt in history?

From there forth, it was exponential growth. More agency partners, a growing roster of clients, new services, new offices, and a bigger team of only talented experts.

Oh, and when Influencer Marketing started looking like the next big thing, we launched our sister-agency Sticki to specialise in exactly that, plus all things creators and content.

The Oscar goes to...

Us. For a plethora of reasons. Partnering with ambitious clients took our ad campaign efforts abroad, our internship Academy was recognised as an award-winning program, and we've now reached a point where our agency invests millions in ad spend every month, across all imaginable niches.

We're not crying. You are.

Trusted by trusted brands in every niche.

Our intentionally diverse client base spans all corners of the digital world. From eCommerce giants to charities and events, we don't just adapt to different industries — we thrive in them all.

Who Do We
Work With?

In a sense, we're romantics. Every industry offers its own set of challenges, nuances, and untapped opportunities — waiting for the right strategy to bring them to life.

Get In Touch

eCommerce

Buying or selling online? That's both our origin story AND our bread and butter. We’re all over the major eCommerce platforms, and have long-standing relationships with some of the eCommerce world's biggest players (Meta, Google, the works) – Meaning we always know exactly how to reach, target and speak to your audiences so they can’t stay away.

Some clients of ours in this space?

Pistachio Papi, I.AM.GIA, Daily Blooms, Cue, Godiva, Viktoria & Woods, Eva, ROAME.

Events

What can we say? We love a party as much as the next guy. But not just as guests, because our event marketing strategies have been honed, tried and tested for years. From marathons to live music to garden shows and striking a pose on runways, the best and busiest events are ones that we’ve created campaigns for – then sold them out too.

Some clients of ours in this space?

Nike Melbourne Marathon, Good Food & Wine Show, Australian Fashion Week, Snow Machine.

Business-to-Business

Yep, we do B2B — not the Charli xcx kind, but transactions between businesses. Wholesaler? Retailer? Manufacturer? We know the lingo as well as the game. To date, we've successfully advertised the likes of high-performance equipment, PPE supplies, tech tools, merch, and loads more. Whether it's leads or purchases you're after, we know what works.

Some clients of ours in this space?

Pantone, MyMerch, Werko, 1800 JUNK AWAY, Australian HR Institute.

Lead Generation

Conversions aren't always the be-all and end-all for every brand. Sometimes, it's people you might be after (not in a creepy way) — and from non-profit leads to lesson enquiries, to eligible clients or even prospects for buying / selling cars, we've got systems in place to get you this in quantity AND quality. All automated as well, if you'd like?

Some clients of ours in this space?

Drive, Uniting Vic.Tas, Kingswim, YMCA Early Learning Centres, Superlaw Claims.

Brick & Mortar

Taking digital ads into the IRL. Did you know that you can accurately attribute and link in-store activity back to visitors' engagement with ads on their phones? It's a crazy world we live in, but a great one for our clients with a physical storefront or locations in the real world. And not just retail stores. Hotels, cafes, wine bars, and local attractions too.

Some clients of ours in this space?

LaManna Supermarket, Hairhouse, Jackalope Hotel, Monopoly Dreams, Wally's Wine Bar.

Property

You don’t purchase a mansion the same way you buy hot pink corduroys. We create tried and tested property campaigns that target the browsing and buying habits of Aussies interested in the housing market. Find only the highest of value prospects once we streamline your lead funnels, and those properties won't stay listed long for sure.

Some clients of ours in this space?

CBRE, Stonebridge Property Group, Woodards, Besser + Co.

We're a digital marketing agency. Of course, we'll serve up our values in an acronym.

S

Straight Up

Whether it’s having tough conversations that help you grow, or cutting out all the bulls**t in identifying strategies that truly work (or not, we'll tell you if that's the case), everything we do is clearly communicated and 100% straight up. Transparency, right?

A

Ambitious

Our value statement is “Pushing Boundaries, Together” — so of course that means we’re hungry for the next revolutionary thing. Whether it’s ambitious about driving your results or tackling an unsolvable industry challenge, we’re in the business of growth. Yours, and ours.

U

United

We’re team players. Which means that any partnership with DataSauce enjoys the best of the best. You’ll get our ad buyers, designers, data scientists, the whole shebang (even our friends / sisters at Sticki) — all working together to secure the results you're after.

C

Challenge

We don’t just do "tried and tested" — we unpack them, iterate them, explore new avenues, and test even more. By challenging the status quo (and asking “Why?” at LEAST five times), we ensure only the best is delivered. Not the easiest or standard practice; only the best.

E

Experimental

We live for the “what if?” moments. What if we flipped the script? What if we tried something no one else has ever done? Every ad, idea, and obstacle is a chance to experiment and break the mould in search for better... So, we do just that.

Put a face to us.

We couldn't call ourselves a full-service digital marketing agency if we didn’t have the right experts behind every dish. So, meet the media buyers, strategists, analysts, designers, and all other specialists you'll work with (should you choose to step into our kitchen)

Ready to make some moves?

All good partnerships have to start somewhere. And for us, that somewhere is usually a call. Drop your details via the button below and leave the rest to us.

Don't let those burning questions catch fire.

How long has DataSauce been in digital marketing?

Short answer: DataSauce went from a concept to a full-fledged agency in May 2018. We've been in the space for seven years now — which is pretty much 49 dog years, and about 100 years in the world of digital marketing agencies.

So, you could say we've been around the block a few times.

But breaking this down even further, the wealth of experience within our team adds up to plenty more. Our Head of Search, Kento started specialising in Google in 2005. And Lauren, our Creative Lead? She's done professional content, photography, design (all the works) for 10+ years now.

We were front and centre when Facebook rebranded into Meta, watched the inception of TikTok and GA4, we dealt with iOS 14.5 and the death of third-party tracking, saw AI rise in marketing, and became active participants in the Influencer & UGC phenomenon with our sister-agency, Sticki.

Every year came with added knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of our ever-evolving industry. And we're anticipating so much more... Hopefully in partnership with you?

What exactly does a digital marketing agency do?

Great question, because (let's be honest) not all digital marketing agencies are built the same. Some just run ads. Others focus only on SEO or content. But at DataSauce, we take a full-funnel, performance-driven approach that actually moves the needle.

For one, we don't just drive traffic.

We care about the end result, and whatever success looks like for you (e.g. sales, conversions, leads, community, ongoing buzz, etc.)

  • Paid Ads: Across Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest, we manage your account's strategy and structure. But going way beyond campaign and ad builds, we focus on targeting strategies, creative ideas and iterations, A/B testing, keyword research, competitor and market research... List goes WAY on.
  • Creative & Content: Throwing money into ads still wouldn't convert if your creative is, respectfully, s**t. Via analysing what truly performs through revolutionary tech, we then create more of it — with our own design, photography, copywriting crew AND influencer partnerships team (at Sticki).
  • CRM: A whole beast in itself, this pillar involves lifecycle flows and automations, segmentation and database health, plus a constant cadence of campaigns in line with key content pilars and calendar dates. All of which we do after mapping our your full customer journey, to help nurture long-lasting customer relationships.
  • Data Science: We get high praise for our reports. Maybe because of data scientists that specialise in comprehensive performance insights, with actionable solutions and no vanity metrics. Our knowledge of attribution means we know what truly drives revenue, and how to get you more of it.
  • CRO: Maximise every website visitor's potential, whether via bespoke landing pages, enhanced checkout experience, or (in an ideal world) a fully optimised website. But even then, we don't stop the audits and multivariate testing that keeps us levelling up all things UX / UI and page speeds too.
How do you measure return on investment?

We first sit down together (with you, of course) to understand what success ultimately looks like for your business.

No two brands are alike when it comes to goals, KPIs, PnLs and investment expectations, so we take the time to learn exactly who you are and where you want to go.

From there, ROI is measured in line with metrics you care about.

Data is extracted from ad platforms (e.g. Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads), eCommerce platforms (e.g. Shopify, WooCommerce), GA4, CRM tools (e.g. Klaviyo, Salesforce, etc.) and more, tied together with a few other handy integration tools.

We've got a dedicated Data Science team whose bread and butter = Tracking, Analytics & Cross-Channel Attribution, and we're even able to track in-store activity if you're in brick and mortar.

The best part? You have access to these insights 24/7.

Yep, we build your brand its very own Live Dashboard, incorporating all those data points above into one source of truth. No more switching tabs, manually toggling date ranges, or exporting .csv files — within Month 1, bespoke reporting for all parts of your business will be ready for your persual, spanning all paid channels with granular campaign breakdowns.

Including on-channel ROAS, MER calculations, CAC, LTV, CTRs, CPCs, AOV, revenue, plus traffic data as well, it's all your favourite marketing acronyms in one place. And updated in real-time.

How much would it cost to work with DataSauce?

No two clients are alike, and we aren't a one-size-fits-all agency. Meaning this depends.

When we enter a partnership, DataSauce becomes an extension of your marketing team — not your throwaway digital marketing agency. So, we build bespoke pricing based on your goals, your growth stage, and the level of support you actually need. You can pick and choose from our à la carte service menu, and we’ll craft a strategy (and price) that fits.

You can also find out if we're a good fit here.

DataSauce leans on value-based pricing instead of costing out by time and material.

You're not just buying hours, you’re investing in outcomes. And we price accordingly. But one thing remains for certain: We'll always get your sign-off before charging out any extra costs.

Transparency and alignment are non-negotiables.

Is it worth it to hire a digital marketing agency?

You might be surprised to hear this, but it does depend.

Except for the most part, YES.

Anyone can boost ads or post content, but getting real, measurable growth takes strategy, testing, and expertise. A good digital marketing agency (like ourselves!) wouldn't just be executing tasks. Our day-to-day involves building a holistic, data-driven strategy that connects paid ads, CRM, creative, CRO, and data science to maximise your ROI.

You'll get a full team of experts without needing to hire or manage multiple specialists in-house. You get access to cutting-edge tools and insider knowledge. You save time and resources, while still scaling smarter and faster. TL;DR — It's efficient AND effective.

Everything we do is also tested, optimised and backed by performance data, so your brand will never be shooting shots in the dark. Also, how good is it to have a team of professionals on speed dial if you ever get stumped on the tools or the ideas?

If you're still curious about the instances where hiring a digital marketing agency isn't the right move, we cover five situations where working with DataSauce truly may not be the best fit here.

Can you produce my creative as well?

Absolutely, and we actually wouldn't have it any other way.

Full-service means full-service, so we've got an entire in-house design team, photography team, and videography crew ready to bring your brand to life.

Need ad-ready designs in all specs and formats? Done. Need a shoot? We’ll be there — whether "there" means in our in-house studio (literally 30 steps from our desks) or on-location.

Our definition of creative also goes way beyond ads.

Website assets, brand collateral, email designs, banners... Anything you need, we've got it covered.

And because good creative is powered by data, we've invested in leading tech to analyse what works and what doesn't, so you can trust that our every asset isn't just beautiful, it's built to convert. Sticki, our sister-agency, also comes in if you're in the market for all things creator-led, meaning: UGC, influencer marketing, events and activations, or content production at scale.

So yes, we can produce your creative. And we do it damn well.

How do I get started with DataSauce?

If you're already reading this, we won't hold you up any longer. We're excited too. Reach out to us via the following options:

- Head to our contact form here.
- Email us at hello@datasauce.com
- Call us +61 39 964 0969

And expect to tell us a little about your brand, your goals, your budget, anything in particular you'd like our support with.

What industries does DataSauce work with?

Wherever your company's at (from start-ups to established household names, local to global), we’ve got the tools to help you get anywhere... If you’ve got a vision you’re ready to invest in.

Our specialities? Vast. Including, but not limited to:
- eCommerce
- B2B (That's Business-to-Business, not the Charli xcx version)
- Events
- Not-for-Profit Organisations
- Property
- SaaS

We break these down even further (by specific industries) here.

That being said, our ethos is all about pushing boundaries, together. We’re certainly not limited to these six, and implore you to challenge us even further.

You'll get a full team of experts without needing to hire or manage multiple specialists in-house. You get access to cutting-edge tools and insider knowledge. You save time and resources, while still scaling smarter and faster. TL;DR — It's efficient AND effective.

Everything we do is also tested, optimised and backed by performance data, so your brand will never be shooting shots in the dark. Also, how good is it to have a team of professionals on speed dial if you ever get stumped on the tools or the ideas?

If you're still curious about the instances where hiring a digital marketing agency isn't the right move, we cover five situations where working with DataSauce truly may not be the best fit here.

Can you produce my creative as well?

Absolutely, and we actually wouldn't have it any other way.

Full-service means full-service, so we've got an entire in-house design team, photography team, and videography crew ready to bring your brand to life.

Need ad-ready designs in all specs and formats? Done. Need a shoot? We’ll be there — whether "there" means in our in-house studio (literally 30 steps from our desks) or on-location.

Our definition of creative also goes way beyond ads.

Website assets, brand collateral, email designs, banners... Anything you need, we've got it covered.

And because good creative is powered by data, we've invested in leading tech to analyse what works and what doesn't, so you can trust that our every asset isn't just beautiful, it's built to convert. Sticki, our sister-agency, also comes in if you're in the market for all things creator-led, meaning: UGC, influencer marketing, events and activations, or content production at scale.

So yes, we can produce your creative. And we do it damn well.
