The 1-minute story

Hi, we're Brendan
and Cameron.

Brendan Ellich and Cameron James at the AFR Fast 100 awards
Brendan Ellich & Cameron James
Co-founders, Blufire
#18 AFR Fast 100 2025 Winner, Best PPC APAC 2025 14+ award nominations $153M influenced
Talk to us →

My co-founder Cameron and I built Blufire as a paid-media agency in Melbourne. We've run growth for 100+ businesses and influenced $153M in revenue - menswear, liquor, outdoor gear, heating, apparel.

The longer we ran ads, the more one thing bothered me. Every tool we used told our clients they were winning, and their accountants kept saying otherwise. Dashboards report revenue. Businesses live or die on margin. Those are different numbers, and the gap between them is where stores quietly bleed.

Revenue analytics can't see COGS, shipping, returns or fees, so it can't see profit. It calls a customer a VIP because they spend a lot, even when returns make them a loss. It calls a discount code a winner while it stacks with sale pricing and gives the margin away.

So we built Blufire: true contribution margin on every order, customer and SKU, reconciled against your ledger to the dollar. Not another dashboard. The number your accountant would sign, live, with the moves ranked underneath it.

The Margin Stack is how we'd want to buy it. Our lead analyst applies it to your store with you across eight weeks, and if the roadmap you leave with is not worth more than your year, you get every dollar back. If it is, you won't want to leave.

If anything on this page doesn't hold up once you're inside, email me directly. I read everything.

FAQs

You pay your band price from day one and get everything - the full product, every section, and the Eight-Week Analyst Launch. If by week eight your Payback Roadmap is not worth more than your year of Blufire, priced in your own reconciled numbers, we refund every dollar you have paid to date. The roadmap is our deliverable, not your agency's - execution speed on your side never voids it.
There isn't one, and here's the honest version: you pay your band price from day one, and if you don't leave week eight with the Payback Roadmap - the analyst-verified move list worth more than your year of Blufire, priced in your own reconciled numbers - we refund every dollar you've paid. Cancelling is two clicks in the product, no call, no email chain. We can make that promise because once you've seen your true margin number, we don't think you'll want to switch it off. That's the whole bet.
Keep it. A click tracker tells you which ad got the click. It cannot tell you which orders made money after COGS, shipping, returns and fees, which customers are profitable, or which discount codes leak margin - because it doesn't compute true contribution margin, and we do, reconciled to your ledger. Different job. The comparison table above shows it row by row.
No. The product ranks the one move worth making each week with the dollars attached, and for your first eight weeks our lead analyst works your store with you - pain points, performance moves, retention. You execute in tools you already use.
Your plan is set by trailing-12-month revenue: Starter to $1M, Growth $1M-$5M, Pro $5M-$20M, Scale $20M+. It moves with your revenue automatically, up and down. You never pay Pro prices on Starter revenue. Above $50M is a custom plan.
Minutes, not weeks. One-click OAuth for Shopify, Klaviyo, Google and Meta - no engineer, no CSV uploads. Your margin number ties out against your ledger in your first week, not your first quarter.
Most stores' are, and it's exactly where other tools quietly fabricate a zero. We read unit costs straight from Shopify, show you exactly which products are missing them, and the math stays honest at every gap. Your analyst walks this with you in your first sessions.
Shopify installs get the first 60 days free instead of $1, then the plan price. Same product, same plans, same analyst sessions.
The weekly move keeps arriving in the product, and you keep the rhythm the analyst set. Most operators need exactly that. If you want ongoing hands-on help, that's the Custom plan.
One isolated database per store - your data never shares a table with anyone else's. Deletion on request, every number traceable to its source, and we never sell or share it. Full detail in the Trust Center.
