Joined a webinar with The Cultivator. Great lot of information.

Wow, Drew is a wealth of knowledge! No fluff was straight forward and to the point with what works and what doesn't work and how to fix the issues. Gave a quick overview of my website and I'm walking away with a to do list lol. Looking forward to chatting further with you Drew. Thank you

Joined Drew’s free webinar and so much valuable information for building my website/store

The cultivator has been such a vital key to my business over the last 4 months… helped us scale to levels we didn’t really think were possible within the timeframe.
Super impressed with these guys! Highly recommend

Been mates with Drew for a few years and all i can say is that he is the go to person for marketing and agency services. Ive been running my business for a few years and have always turned to Drew every time i need help with tweaks in developing my business. Amazing and intelligent person

We run a surfboard business on the West Coast and I was a bit unsure about working with an Australian team because of the time difference.

Honestly, it was never really an issue.

Communication was easy, things got done quickly, and they understood pretty fast that we didn’t want the brand turned into some generic ecommerce store.

They pushed us on a few things we probably wouldn’t have changed ourselves, and it ended up helping a lot.

Good team, easy to work with, and we had a really solid experience.

Still funny having Australians help us sell surfboards though.

Drew & his team are excellent at what they do, they know what to do and when to do it. Take the pressure off my shoulders and showed me what was happening within my store while it grew! Would recommend them to anyone Who is in the space looking to grow.

I originally met Drew through business and social media, but at this point I’d genuinely consider him a good mate.

I run a pretty active Instagram account and spend a lot of time around marketing myself, so I’m probably more critical of this stuff than most people. What I like about Drew and the team is there’s very little fluff. You can actually talk through an idea with them, disagree with something, change direction and figure it out together.

Over time I’ve gotten to know Drew outside of work as well. We’ve caught up, played tennis together and had plenty of conversations that have absolutely nothing to do with business.

That probably says more about my experience than some massive paragraph about marketing results.

Good people, very switched on, and Drew genuinely gives a shit about the businesses and people he works with.

Still need to beat him at tennis though.

I've known Drew for years and have always been impressed by his professionalism and deep knowledge of the marketing space. He and the team at The Cultivator clearly know what they're doing — thoughtful, strategic, and genuinely good at what they do. Anyone working with them is in good hands.

We run a commercial and residential exterior cleaning business, so we’re probably not the most typical business these guys work with.

At the start I wasn’t really sure how much they’d be able to help outside of advertising, but there’s been a lot more involved than I expected.

They’ve gone through parts of the store, cleaned up how things are set up, helped with tracking, customer follow up systems, offers and a heap of small things that all add up. There were quite a few issues we had just gotten used to that they picked up straight away.

I also really like how the work is managed. You can log in and see what’s in progress, what’s been finished and what they’re waiting on from us. It saves a lot of back and forth and I’m not constantly wondering what’s happening.

Calls have been good too. We normally book them when there’s actually something worth going through, rather than having meetings just for the sake of having meetings. They’ve generally been short and useful.

Probably the biggest difference for me is the range of stuff they can take care of. Normally you’d need one person for the website, someone else for ads, someone else for automations and then another person trying to tie it all together. Here it all seems to feed into the same plan.

They move through a surprising amount of work as well. Every time I check back there’s normally been something else changed, tested or worked on.

It’s definitely not completely hands off though. When they ask us for product info, photos, pricing, approvals or whatever else, we still need to get it back to them quickly. The whole thing works much better when both sides are actually moving.

So far I’ve been really impressed. It feels less like hiring someone to run ads and more like having extra people inside the business helping us improve different areas at the same time.

Bit of a random one because I don’t actually work with these guys anymore.

One of their ads popped up on my phone the other day and I thought, “bloody hell, these guys are still everywhere,” so I messaged Drew and realised I never actually left them a review.

We worked together for a while and, to be fair, they did a really good job for us.

They helped sort out the ads, made a load of changes to the site, fixed a bunch of things we probably should’ve fixed ourselves months earlier, and generally got the business moving in the right direction.

We had some really strong months while working with them and definitely made a lot more progress than we would have trying to figure everything out ourselves.

I also remember there always being about 47 things happening at once. New creatives, website changes, tracking stuff, calls, random fixes in the background. Half the time I didn’t even know what or how they were changing until I noticed things were working better.

We eventually stopped working together because the business changed direction a bit.

Saw the ad, messaged him, had a laugh and thought I should probably leave the review I should’ve left ages ago.

Good team, worked hard for us, got us good results.

Annoyingly, I have to give them credit.

Drew and his team have great attention to detail and really listen. We were in a spot of bother with our digital marketing strategy, ultimately trying too many things at once without clear understanding of what success would look like. We needed clarity and quantifiable results.

Cultivator provided logical and pragmatic advice that has made a significant difference to the way we approach and deploy our digital strategy.

Super happy with the advice, service, results and responsiveness.

Thanks Drew! It’s a pleasure working with you.

Drew and Beau’s communication first of all was fantastic, and the strategy they implemented resulted in my store gaining exponential traction within the first 2 months of working together.

Two reliable, intelligent and down to earth guys who treat my store as if it’s there own.

Absolutely 5 stars. Drew and Beau have been genuinely great to work with. They’ve helped me a lot with scaling my business, especially around marketing strategy, implementation and improving my Meta & Google ads performance. My ROAS really improved a ton once we started applying their changes, and what I rate most is how involved they are, they actually care about the results and are always looking for ways to improve things rather than just giving generic advice. Really appreciate how dedicated both of them are.

My experience with The Cultivator Co was extremely disappointing.

During the sales process, I was told they had specialised strategies that could help guarantee revenue of $50,000 per month. However, after approximately two months of working together, I saw no clear strategy, meaningful momentum or measurable improvement in performance.

Very little work appeared to be completed each week. No new Meta advertising creatives were launched, and the campaigns did not consistently spend the agreed daily budget. Conversion rate optimisation was also promised, but the work delivered appeared limited to deleting or rearranging a small number of website elements, with little testing, analysis or follow-up.

Weekly meetings were part of the service discussed, but these generally did not occur unless I arranged them myself. When meetings did take place, the approach often felt reactive, rather than being guided by a structured plan with clear priorities, actions and accountability.

There were also several avoidable execution errors, including typographical mistakes and sales being launched before the agreed commencement time.

Based on the fees paid, I do not believe the level of work, communication or results represented reasonable value. I was left feeling that the business received very little meaningful output and was ultimately in a worse position than when the engagement began.

This review reflects my personal experience. If I could make the decision again, I would not proceed with The Cultivator Co.

EDIT IN RESPONSE TO REPLY:

A 4 x ROAS occurred on sporadic days, usually followed by 0 ROAS days. The results in the account reflect this. It eventually settled back to less than what was previously achieved before engaging them, which is when they got completely lost of what to do next.

The budget was never increased at a rate greater than advised. Drew and CULTIVATOR were unable to get the results to scale, no matter how much or how little budget was added.

Most concerningly, almost no actual work was delivered. The work on Google ads contained no ad copy or creative. They never once delivered a new ad copy or creative on META that wasn’t written by us. Seriously, not one single ad design.

We dictated pretty much every single email ever sent. They never advised on nor wrote a single email of their own volition.

No CRO analysis, no reporting dashboard as was promised, no weekly meetings scheduled. across my years of dealing dozens of agencies, this is the only agency that did not set their own meeting cadence or send monthly reports. Not a single one.

The only reason a refund of the final month was given was because they took 3 months payment upfront, and realised that they could not meet their guarantees. They sent revenue backwards and then could not improve it.

It’s worthwhile to note that others have recently left 1 star reviews also on this platform, which CULTIVATOR keeps trying to flag to paper over their lack of strategy and results compared to what they claim they can achieve.

The response from them since sharing this review should only give you greater cause for concern when considering engaging their services.

I’ve been working with Drew and his fantastic team at The Cultivator for the past five months, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

What has impressed me most is their speed of execution and the breadth of expertise across the team. They bring a genuinely multi-dimensional skill set across so many areas, which has been incredibly valuable as a small, growing ecommerce business.

Drew and the team are also incredibly approachable, responsive and patient. They take the time to listen, explain things clearly and work through ideas with me, which I really appreciate.

It’s been a fantastic partnership so far, and I’m excited to continue working with them and seeing what we can achieve together. Highly recommend!

The cultivator has helped me and my business in many ways, without them i honestly can’t say if id be doing as well as i am. Before I was with them,I was blind and hurting my own sales with my lack of marketing knowledge. Now, I get regular meetings that are informative and allow me still have my input. The team especially Mark, is so helpful and always gets the job done efficiently and professionally. Would recommend the cultivator to all who want to boost their sales and reputation of their business. Good job team!

The team helped move my website from my previous e-commerce platform to Shopify. I’m thankful for that assistance because it wasn’t something I could have completed on my own, and everyone I spoke with seemed knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the execution, communication, and follow-through did not match what I expected from a service costing $1,600 per month.

I paid for three months, totaling $4,800. The website migration took approximately two and a half months, which was much longer than anticipated. Once the website was finally ready, the plan was to begin running Google and Facebook ads. However, no ads were ever launched, and my advertising accounts show $0 spent.

Throughout the process, I worked with approximately four different team members and repeatedly had to grant new people access to my accounts. The frequent turnover made the process feel disorganized, and I often had to repeat information or follow up on tasks that were delayed or never completed.

I understand that agencies need information and feedback from their clients, but I hired a team because I did not have time to micromanage every task. At this price point, I expected someone to take ownership of the project, keep me informed about meaningful decisions, and ensure the agreed-upon work was completed in a timely manner.

My decision to cancel was not entirely based on their performance. Our original goal was to generate more custom orders, but my business was already struggling to produce enough inventory for our busy event schedule, so that strategy no longer felt realistic. However, if the service had been producing results and the work had been completed consistently, I may have chosen to continue.

I emailed Drew twice and clearly stated that I wanted to end the partnership and did not want to be charged for another month. I received no response. A fourth monthly payment was still attempted about a week later, although it did not go through. No one contacted me afterward.

I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews, and I do believe the team has knowledge and potential. My impression was that they may have had too many clients or too much employee turnover to give my account the attention it required. Unfortunately, the final month was a complete waste of money for me. Aside from one meeting and a request to give another new employee access to my account, nothing meaningful happened.

Every week i have a zoom with Beau and the team, and it is the best. We really lock in with the data and we first got our design work done asap. Google ads, meta ads and all integrated now into the dashboard. They have a proprietary ai system that is able to analyse all the data points across my store, ads and emails. It’s greatst the process, very responsive team

I had a great experience with the cultivator, Beau and the team were an awesome help.
