Overview
About 1 At Bat Media
1 At Bat Media is a Toronto ecommerce performance agency working only with Shopify and DTC brands, typically doing $5M to $50M+ in annual revenue. It combines Meta and Google paid media with Klaviyo email and SMS, performance creative, UGC and Shopify development. Best for established online brands that want acquisition and retention handled by one team.
1 At Bat Media is an ecommerce growth agency based at 40 King Street West in downtown Toronto, with a second location listed in New York. Clutch gives 2018 as the founding year, though the Ontario business record dates to 2016. The firm sits in the 10 to 49 employee range; its site names owners Carla Mawyin and Nicholas Rupcich, who also serves as vice president, while Clutch refers to a founder and CEO named Travis without a surname.
The agency only works with online retailers, and says its sweet spot is Shopify and DTC brands generating roughly $5 million to $50 million or more a year. Its offer pairs acquisition with retention: Meta and Google ads on one side, Klaviyo email and SMS on the other, supported by in-house performance creative, UGC and influencer content, Shopify development and Amazon work. Clutch splits the practice into ecommerce marketing (30%), email, PPC and social (20% each), and general advertising. Reviewers mention weekly meetings and monthly reporting.
Published case studies carry specific numbers. Apparel brand Cutter & Buck is credited with a 112% year-over-year jump in DTC revenue, a 29% lower CAC and a larger share of revenue from email. ANS Performance reports more than four years of 50%+ annual growth, and Nooee Pet a 3.2x lift in DTC revenue. Trading card maker Upper Deck and Mammoth Supplements are among Clutch reviewers; Mammoth’s CMO wrote in June 2026 that conversion rate and order value rose while ad spend as a share of revenue fell.
For a mid-sized Shopify brand that wants paid acquisition and email retention handled by one Toronto ecommerce agency, 1 At Bat Media brings focused experience and verifiable results. It is not built for lead generation, B2B, or stores still searching for product-market fit, and SEO is not part of the core offer.

Editor’s take
A strong option for mid-sized Shopify brands wanting a Toronto ecommerce agency covering ads, email and creative together. Lead-gen firms and early-stage stores should look elsewhere.
