What Soar With Us does

Soar With Us is a UK-based, full-service direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce marketing agency that operates under the legal entity OJ Digital LTD and was founded in 2019. The firm serves more than 250 brands across verticals including beauty, wellness, food, and sports apparel, with named clients such as Contempee, Art of Football, Cowshed, AKT London, and Mindful Chef. The company positions itself around "8–9 figure brands" and is headquartered in London with operational presence in Leeds, employing 11–50 staff. Self-reported scale metrics include £600M+ in client revenue generated and £170M+ in ad spend managed, though these figures are not independently audited.

The agency's service offering spans paid media (Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Google Ads), performance creative production, email and SMS marketing (delivered through Klaviyo), and strategic e-commerce consultancy. Its operating model is codified in two proprietary, brand-named methodologies: the "Creative Growth Engine" and the "Andromeda Creative Testing Framework," which structure how the agency plans creative iteration, media buying, and lifecycle retention for clients. The firm holds official partner status with Meta, TikTok, Google, Triple Whale, and Klaviyo, providing platform-trusted positioning in DTC procurement processes. AI is used at the workflow level for customer and competitor analysis, but there is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML assets.

The business model is agency-fee based, charging retainers and/or percentage-of-spend fees on managed media, with an active client base of approximately 70 brands after the February 2024 acquisition of Hambi Media. The agency is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, suggesting growth is financed organically from operating cash flow. Distribution is augmented by content marketing (blog, podcast) and case-study-led outbound, targeting DTC founders primarily in the UK market with adjacent reach into the US DTC ecosystem.
