This Shopify Agency Quit Paid Media (And Got Bigger)

Discover how Amer Grozdanic's agency thrived after quitting paid media and focusing on Shopify features that drive real results.

"I kinda told myself I need to take a step back from e-commerce. When I took a step back, e-commerce said no and put me back in."

Amer Grozdanic burned out running paid media for brands. The results were good — but never good enough. So he walked away, rebuilt his agency around what he could actually control, and landed clients like MVMT Watches and Billie Eilish without spending a dollar on ads. Today, Praella works with brands up to $400M in revenue, and Amer's seen the same blind spots in almost every store.
