Read what founders and CMOs say about working with Zipp Lend.
"Before Zipp Lend, our Meta ROAS was stuck at 1.8x and decaying every time we bumped spend. Within 60 days, they overhauled our creative testing and scaled us past £250k/mo at a 4.1x blended return."
"Their grasp of TikTok Spark Ads and short-form video hooks is simply the best in the UK. They don't just execute media buying; they think like seasoned capital allocators who care about our profit margin."
"Expanding our British brand into the US market felt intimidating until we engaged Edward and the Zipp Lend team. Their transatlantic media buying playbook added $1.4M in US revenue in under five months."

To fully unlock statistical significance across algorithmic auctions (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), our partners typically deploy a minimum of £15,000 (or $20,000 USD) per month in ad spend. This allows adequate budget for rapid creative iteration alongside scaling ad sets.
Our rapid audit and pixel verification takes 3 to 5 business days. Once we review historical data, calibrate attribution, and establish your initial creative sprint, live campaigns typically launch within 7 to 10 days of partner agreement.
We provide end-to-end creative direction. This includes scripting direct response hooks, sourcing native UGC creators across the UK and US, video editing, motion design, and iterative cutdowns. You can also provide existing brand assets, which we will adapt for social auction performance.
No. We work on a 90-day initial performance sprint followed by rolling 30-day agreements. We believe retention should be earned through consistent ROAS and bottom-line profit, not legal lock-ins.
We operate dedicated execution hubs in London and New York. This enables localized consumer messaging, regional price anchoring (GBP vs USD), time-zone synchronized dayparting, and separate localized creator rosters for maximum cultural authenticity.
