Human taste, AI productivity

Built with AI from the ground up, where it matters: productivity, analysis, dashboards. Humans stay in the loop for taste and strategy. Guaranteed no slop.

A platform built to collaborate

Use our creatives, or manage creators through Adside: we charge on that spend. Import your own creatives, or bring your team: we charge nothing.

Control as much or as little as you want

Set a granular approval process and sign off on every creative yourself, or trust our team to do it. You decide, and you can change your mind later.

A brain that learns your business

Your context, your industry, every conversation we have: saved, and compounding. We keep monitoring your market. Ten people working for you, sharing a single brain.

How it works

You keep your accounts, your assets, and the final say. We rebuilt everything underneath: the research, the production, the launch, and the reporting.

01

We chat

Jump on a call with us. We connect all your assets, and we share what we learn from your market and your competitors. We take you by the hand, or you onboard yourself.

02

One of our paid ads experts builds a strategy

We partner with best-in-class freelancers and agencies. They run deep research on you, your market and your competitors, and bring their personal expertise.

03

We set up your accounts

We make sure the foundations are right before anything spends: conversion tracking in place, pixels firing, ad accounts and audiences configured properly. If something is broken, we fix it first.

04

We run your self-improving advertising machine

Statics and video. In-house, through our creator network, or with AI when AI is genuinely the right tool. Every creative arrives with the reason it should work, sourced. Every result makes the next round better.

05

We monitor and report back

Campaigns go live on every connected platform from one approval. We watch pacing, rotate what is winning, kill what is not, and tell you what happened in Slack, in email, or in the product. The learnings go into the next strategy.

Agents do the operations.
Humans do the strategy

Most of the work in running ads is not strategy and it is not creative. It is the operations underneath. We automated that part, so our experts spend all of their time on the two things that decide whether your ads work.

Automated, every day

Campaign setup, ad sets, budgets, placements
Pacing and budget monitoring
Performance reporting
Cross-platform reconciliation
Creative resizing for every placement
Rotating winners in, retiring fatigued ads
Audience syncing across channels
Tracking and attribution

Where our humans go

Strategy

What should you actually do? What did companies in your situation do, and what happened to them? Which audience, which angle, which channel, and what is the evidence for it.

Creative

The concept, the hook, the script, the shoot, the edit. Made by people who make ads for a living, with AI where AI is genuinely better, and nowhere else.

If a human needs to fix the campaign, record the creative, or finish the edit, a human does it. That is the whole reason we automated everything else.

Some strategies we could run for you

Talk to your account strategist to figure out which strategies are most likely to work for you.

Example strategy

Go after YC founders

Target YC founders across multiple channels with one clear, consistent message.

Audience
YC_founders.csv

We build the audience for you, from public sources. It arrives as a CSV you inspect row by row, with the match rate on every channel, before a dollar is spent. If you already have a list of your own, we use that instead.

Channels

Meta and LinkedIn for the matched list, Google for the terms they search once they know you exist, Reddit where they actually spend their evenings. Lookalikes once the list is warm.

Copy and creatives
10 to 15 creatives, refreshed every month.
Statics built from your top reviews, in your customers’ own words
Some logo-forward for the top of funnel, some offer-led for the bottom
Founder videos: we write the script and coach you through the recording. "I am a YC founder too" does most of the work here.
Customer testimonials, which we can help you record

Relax and let us do the work

We deploy and measure your campaigns on Meta, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, TikTok and Snapchat. We manage the complexity and report back to you.

Where your creatives come from

We adjust the number of creatives based on your budget, and use different recipes to make sure we generate winning creatives, aligned with your brand and in your tone.

AI agents

Agents draft statics and video cuts around the clock, grounded in your account’s data: winning hooks, real reviews, competitor moves. First drafts in hours, not weeks.

Proven templates

Our own database of ad formats that have already worked somewhere: iMessage threads, price anchors, comparison statics. We adapt them to your brand at no production cost.

Creator marketplace

Vetted UGC actors and static and video specialists, each with reviews and an acceptance rate you can see. We write the brief; they shoot; you approve.

Partner agencies

Hire specialized creative agencies and collaborate with them on the platform for more polished content.

How we generate copy and creatives

You only want great ads, and so do we. Here’s how we make sure we’re only aiming for top quality.

01

We build a brain of ads that work

We run deep research and import all your context: landing pages, preferred copy, competitors, logos. We first have to become experts in what you sell, and we can help you pull it all together.

02

We generate a brief

Concepts come out of that brain rather than out of a prompt. Every brief names the audience, the angle, and the evidence behind it.

03

We review and improve with AI

Does the claim match what you actually sell? Is the offer right? Any typos, broken layout, wrong logo, or brand rule ignored? We catch and fix it here, before anyone spends time producing it.

04

We execute on the brief

Depending on the brief that can be a template, a design from scratch, or video. We built the collaboration tools to work with external designers, actors and creators when the brief calls for them.

05

We ask for your review

This step is optional: once you trust us, it can run on autopilot. But at the start it matters, because trust is built one approval at a time.

06

We push and monitor it

Campaigns go live on every connected platform. We watch how each creative performs, rotate the winners in, and feed the results back into the brain for the next round.

We memorize all your context and measure all experiments, so the engine keeps compounding. You’ll never have to explain something twice.

Where we can help

Most of the startups we talk to are in one of these three places.

You want to get started with paid ads

You know you should be experimenting with paid ads, heard you should be running retargeting campaigns, but have no idea where to start. Let us do that for you.

You’ve tried ads in the past with no success

You’ve been burnt. Maybe a past agency, maybe a past hire, maybe bad execution. Either way, you know that the same action will provide the same results, and want to try something drastically different.

You want to scale ads

You’re already running some basic campaigns, but want to scale ads into a real go-to-market channel. You know you need expertise to get to the next step.

Simple pricing that follows performance

One fee: 10% of your ad spend, with a $2,500 monthly minimum. It covers strategy, creative production, launch and reporting.

Questions, answered

We believe anyone benefits from ads, starting pre-PMF. However, because of our minimum price of $2,500, most people we onboard have existing marketing budgets and are willing to spend at least $3,000 per month on paid ads.

Sure — that is one of our top recommendations when we start. Retargeting is the lowest-hanging fruit in paid ads: the audience already knows you, your pixel has already built it, and it is usually the most profitable campaign in the account. It is often the first thing we launch.

Short answer: yes. All of them, managed from one place.

No, not for now. We will at some point.

Always less than a week, usually 48 hours.

You do, all of it, including the accounts, the audiences and everything we produce. If you leave, it leaves with you. Your customer lists and your audiences are yours alone: we never reuse them for another client, and we never sell them.

Yes, throughout, and we are not precious about it. But the result is the point, not the tool. Humans fix the campaigns, record the creatives and finish the edits whenever that is what wins. You will see every creative before it runs, so you can judge that for yourself rather than take our word for it.

10% of your ad spend, with a $2,500 monthly minimum. One fee covers everything: strategy, creative production, launch, optimization and reporting — no per-creative fees, no setup fees. Above $500K per month of managed spend, volume pricing kicks in. If you also want us to manage your ad accounts or implement your tracking, that is priced on scope.

Because we wire the measurement before we buy anything, and we will name the mechanism rather than promise you clarity. Closed-won deals get pushed back from your CRM into each platform as offline conversions, so the platform optimizes toward revenue instead of toward form fills. Where the sales cycle is longer than the attribution window, and on Safari that window is seven days, we do not pretend a pixel solves it: we run geo holdouts and measure branded-search lift, and we ask people where they heard about you. If your product takes sixty days to close, we report on pipeline rather than signups. If the honest answer turns out to be that paid does not work for your motion, we would rather find that out in month one and tell you.

Possibly, and we will say so. If we do not find a strategy worth funding in month one, we will tell you that and stop billing you, rather than inventing work to justify the fee.

Access to your ad accounts, whatever brand assets you already have, and an hour of your time to tell us what you know that we do not. After that, your job is to review the work and either approve it or push back on it.

We run an internal system that analyzes thousands of ads: hooks, retention curves, trends, your customer reviews and your competitors. We use it to work out what each platform rewards and tailor that to your brand. It is also why every creative arrives with the reason it should work, so you can argue with the reasoning instead of guessing at the output.

Stop paying for the busywork

Connect your platforms, review the strategy, approve the creative. Your first month has no minimum, so the first month is a real test rather than a commitment.
