Who you are hiring
Two operators, hands on the account.
No account managers, no subcontractors, no layer between the person who writes the brief and the person who buys the media.
Who you are hiring
We do not publish client names or logos. You get the specifics, named, on a call.
Media buyer · owner-operator
Learned to buy on his own money. Co-founded a DTC jewelry brand and still operates it, so the account structure, the test design and the scaling rules were built against a P&L he owns rather than a retainer he bills. Since then he has bought in just about every vertical there is.
Media buyer · agency-trained
Agency-trained, with creative run for consumer and marketplace brands. He buys the media he briefs, so every angle is built to what the algorithm needs to learn and to the psychological pillar underneath it.
Why this works
Software spent ten years telling itself to wait on paid. Build the brand, do the content, let word of mouth carry it. Ecom spent those same ten years running hundreds of creators and thousands of ad variations.
Meta took the targeting controls away, so the creative is the targeting now. Google rewards whoever feeds it the cleanest conversion data.
Both are ecom disciplines. The operators who have run them at volume are rare, and most software companies have never hired one.

Case 01 · Series B AI creative platform
Situation. A few branded statics, no paid program, and no measurement underneath it. Nothing in place to tell what a conversion was worth, let alone what to pay for one.
What we changed. Built the account from the ground up. Pixel, server-side tracking and PostHog wired first, so a conversion could be read at all. Then a creative program written from scratch, briefed down to the overlay text, shipped weekly, and optimized against one number.

When to not call us
We take one client at a time on the embedded side and a short list on the rest, so it is cheaper for both of us to find this out now.
You are pre-revenue
Paid needs a conversion event worth optimizing against. Before you have one there is nothing for the algorithm to learn from, and we would be spending your money to find out.
You want someone to just run the ads
We buy the media we brief. Splitting those apart is the thing we are built to fix, so hiring us for half the line wastes what you are paying for.
You need it to work this month
Week one is tracking. First assets go live in week two. The first budget move waits for a readable result. Anyone promising faster is guessing on partial data.
You cannot share margin numbers
The whole model runs off what a customer is worth after cost. Without that we are buying against a platform CPA like everyone else.
Questions we get first
How fast do the first ads go live?
Week one is tracking and the brief. First assets are live in week two, and the first budget move follows the first readable result.
What does it cost?
The Map is a fixed fee. The Engine and Embedded are a monthly retainer, scoped to the account.
Do you work with pre-revenue companies?
Rarely. Paid needs a conversion event worth optimizing against. Before that, the Map is the honest version of this engagement.
Your entire paid line, run by two operators.
Twenty minutes, no deck. We will tell you what we would run first and what it would cost.
