    JudeLuxevsCircusPPC

    Both are UK-based ecommerce PPC specialists. The model is fundamentally different: profit-led DTC focus with a proprietary SKU-job bidding framework vs feed-first PPC management with deep optimisation discipline.

    Circus PPC is a Leeds-based boutique that has built its reputation on product feed optimisation — treating feeds as an ongoing optimisation surface rather than a one-off setup task. They work with all major feed management platforms (DataFeedWatch, Channable, Feedonomics) and have particular strength in fashion and consumer goods retail. JudeLuxe operates as a profit-first consultancy: every account is run against POAS and contribution margin, with the proprietary BOI™ framework assigning each SKU one commercial job at a time (Profit, Volume, Liquidation or Acquisition). The right choice depends on whether feed quality or commercial logic is the bigger lever for your business right now.

    Choose JudeLuxe if

    • You're a DTC ecommerce brand turning £500k–£10M and contribution margin matters more than ROAS
    • Your catalogue is mixed-margin and you need SKU-level bid logic rather than feed-driven optimisation
    • You want all Google Ads campaign types managed under one commercial framework
    • The BOI™ approach (each SKU has a distinct commercial job, reassigned weekly) matches how your business operates
    • You need fixed-fee pricing with Google CSS included

    Choose Circus PPC if

    • Feed quality is currently your biggest growth bottleneck — disapprovals, low impression share, poor Shopping ROAS
    • You operate in fashion, accessories or consumer goods and want category-specific feed expertise
    • You're working with a feed management platform (DataFeedWatch, Channable, Feedonomics) and want deep platform optimisation
    • You're at the smaller end of the ecommerce spectrum (£5k–£25k/month spend) and feed work is your primary need
    • A Leeds-based agency suits your operational preferences

    Circus PPC is a strong choice if feed health is the lever you need right now. Their discipline on feed optimisation is genuinely differentiated and they will lift Shopping performance significantly for any brand with feed quality issues. JudeLuxe is built on the premise that feed work is necessary but not sufficient — the bigger commercial lever is bidding against each SKU's commercial job, not just getting the feed clean.
