About Elev8 Brands · Los Angeles
The partner we wished existed.
Elev8 was born on the founder’s side of the table, after years of watching agencies overpromise, underdeliver, and hand the account to whoever was newest. This page is the long answer to a fair question: why should you believe we’re different?
Who we are
Boutique on purpose. Amazon-first by conviction.
Fewer clients
Deeper partnerships
Real results
Elev8 Brands is a founder-led Amazon agency for CPG brands, based in Los Angeles. We are a boutique growth partner: not a big-agency machine, not a one-person shop. A senior team that takes on fewer clients and goes deeper with each of them.
The premise is simple: Amazon should be a profitable growth engine, not a short-term revenue channel you tolerate. Advertising answers to contribution margin, creative answers to conversion, and every weekly decision answers to the long-term health of your brand.
What makes us different
Six things we refuse to compromise on.
01
Founder-led perspective
Elev8 was built by an Amazon founder who scaled and exited his own brand. That operator perspective shapes how the entire team works.
02
Hands-on partnership
You’ll never get handed to the B team, because there isn’t one. Same senior people, same context, week after week.
03
Full-funnel strategy
Ads, SEO, creative, and retention run as one system across the whole customer journey, not as disconnected line items.
04
Aligned incentives
No percentage-of-ad-spend pricing. We price around scope and ownership, so our incentive is profitable growth, not spending more of your media budget.
05
Data-driven creativity
Design and analytics in the same room. Beautiful creative that does not convert is art. We make the kind that sells.
06
Radical transparency
Full visibility into the work, decisions, and reporting. You see the same numbers we look at: what we did, why, and what it returned.
Founder-led since day one
Operator empathy is not a tagline here.
Yoni Steinschriber started selling on Amazon in 2017, built his own outdoor brand to seven figures in roughly two years, and later exited. After leading Amazon marketing at Hawke Media and working across more than 150 brands, he built Elev8 around the partnership he wished every founder could find.
That history shows up in the details: how we treat cash flow, how we plan inventory around a promotion, how we talk about margin. We have lived the creative demands, the operational chaos, and the financial pressure of building a brand. Which is why, when your inventory forecast slips or your hero SKU gets suppressed at 6am, the person on the other end of the Slack thread actually feels it.
“The goal is not to win a good month. It is to build an Amazon business that compounds for years.”
Yoni Steinschriber · Founder, Elev8 Brands
How your pod is built
The four people on your account.
Every engagement is staffed as a small senior pod with one accountable owner. No account coordinators playing telephone between you and the people doing the work.
01
Strategy lead
Owns the commercial roadmap: where the growth comes from, what it costs, and what gets prioritized each month.
02
Account lead
Your day-to-day operator. Runs the weekly cadence, the reporting, and the decisions between calls.
03
PPC specialist
Hands on the bids, budgets, and query data every week, managing spend to contribution margin targets.
04
Creative lead
Owns the listing, A+, and Storefront work, tested and iterated against conversion, not taste.

What partnership should feel like
“You are a part of our business. We are all on the same team working to grow the brand and the business.”

The audit is free, and it’s real work
Sound like the partner you have been looking for?
Tell us where the business is and where you want it to go. A senior operator, not a salesperson, reviews your public presence and whatever you share, then walks you through exactly what we’d do differently and what it’s worth. And if the honest answer is that your current setup is working, we’ll tell you that too.
