Tinuiti: Large US performance marketing agency known for Amazon, Google, and Meta advertising
Honest comparison — we acknowledge where Tinuiti wins.
Tinuiti is one of the largest independent performance marketing agencies in the US, with particularly strong expertise in Amazon advertising, Google Shopping, and Meta performance campaigns. They work primarily with mid-market and enterprise ecommerce brands and have a well-staffed retail media team. Omakaase is a different type of agency: AI-native, no lock-in, and focused on the SMB and growing mid-market segment that Tinuiti doesn't typically serve.

The verdict
Tinuiti is the right agency if you are a mid-market or enterprise ecommerce brand with significant Amazon advertising spend — their depth there is genuine and difficult to replicate. Omakaase is the better fit for SMBs and growing companies without Amazon as a primary channel, those who need SEO alongside paid, want month-to-month flexibility, or are operating in European markets.
Frequently asked questions
Does Tinuiti work with small businesses?
Tinuiti focuses on mid-market and enterprise ecommerce clients. Their minimum engagement sizes, onboarding process, and pricing structure make them unsuitable for most small businesses. Omakaase is specifically designed for SMBs and growing companies with budgets starting from £1,800/$2,200/month.
Does Omakaase offer Amazon advertising?
Not currently. Omakaase focuses on Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and organic SEO. If Amazon advertising is central to your growth strategy, Tinuiti's depth in that channel is a genuine advantage. For all other paid and organic channels, Omakaase delivers AI-native execution without the enterprise price tag.

Tinuiti's Bliss Point is a proprietary measurement and attribution platform — impressive for enterprise clients who can leverage the full capability. Omakaase provides comprehensive GA4-based reporting with custom dashboards and weekly updates, giving clients full data portability without proprietary lock-in.
