In this episode of Inside Marketing with MarketSurge, Reed Hansen sits down with Ivan Janku, CEO of Digital Rocket, the agency famously allergic to marketing waste.

Ivan and his team have helped e-commerce and SaaS brands generate over $250M in client revenue by fixing profit leaks across ads, CRO, email, and tracking. What makes Digital Rocket different? Their No-BS Guarantee: If they don’t deliver, you don’t pay.

This conversation is raw, practical, and unapologetically focused on what actually makes money.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why most agencies fail by working in silos
 • The most common profit leaks killing e-commerce and SaaS brands
 • Why ROI is one of the most overrated marketing metrics
 • How bad tracking breaks attribution and decision-making
 • What founders should audit before scaling ad spend
• How Ivan allocates ad budgets across Meta, Google, TikTok, and SMS
• Why systems and checklists beat “rockstar” marketers every time

👉 Key Highlights:

✅ Mobile UX Blind Spots – Why desktop-first thinking costs brands millions
