About

Agency experience. None of the agency.

We run the ads, build the follow-up behind them and set up the tools that make it all work. Senior people on every account. No middlemen.

Who you'll work with

Sajid Bari, MBA.

Agency-side since 2014. From creative strategy to $700K+ monthly budgets to lead systems that run themselves.

Sajid started in agencies, writing briefs and building campaigns. He moved into creative strategy, brand positioning and product launches for national brands. Then into media: planning it, buying it and proving it worked.

At AdParlor, he was lead account manager and strategist for Staples across North America: three businesses, $700K+ monthly budgets, 20+ client stakeholders and a team of five. He ran testing programs for Staples and Bath & Body Works, and wrote the agency's monthly social media updates for advertisers.

Then he kept seeing the same pattern in mid-size businesses. Things are working, so nobody touches them. Same referrals, same ads, same follow-up. Growth flattens. Then revenue slips, because there was never a steady lead flow behind it. Growthline Digital exists to build that flow and keep it running.

How we work

Four rules we don't break.

01

You own everything.

Ad accounts, pixels, CRM and data stay in your name. You see the same dashboard we do.

02

Straight answers.

If your budget is too small or ads aren't the real problem, we'll tell you before you spend.

03

Nothing slips.

We track leads to the door. For one client, that meant checking 385 bookings against the client's own records to see who came in.

04

In your numbers every week.

Not once a month. Weekly optimization, monthly review, and a call whenever something moves.
