I Built the Agency I Needed
This is the whole story: the agencies that failed me, the million-dollar education that followed, and why I run every account like my own money is on it. Because for years, it was.
It started with three agencies.
I grew my brand to multiple six figures organically, but when it was finally time to scale, I hired an agency to run my ads.
Then another one.
And another one.
They all did the same thing. They cut corners, misrepresented my brand, and I never saw the results, only the agency invoice.
So I brought the marketing in-house and taught myself. Media buying, email, video editing, all of it.
A million-dollar education.
It took me years, courses, late nights, and it cost me over a million dollars of my own money in ad spend. Plenty of that was not profitable, because that is what learning looks like when you are paying for it yourself.
But finally, it worked. My company grew to seven figures under my own marketing direction, and then it was acquired in 2024.
Seven figures. Acquired. Retired at 34.
I thought I was done. Ready to retire at the ripe old age of 34. But then my business owner friends started asking for help, and I ended up rebuilding my agency, this time for other businesses.
What that means for you.
Here is what that means for you. You are not hiring someone who learned marketing on a client's budget. I learned it on mine. I know what it feels like to watch money leave your account and wonder if any of it is working, because I sat in that seat for years.
I do not take on businesses I cannot take care of. I watch the numbers on every account myself, and you can reach me if you have questions.
I'm guessing you have been burned before, and I understand exactly why you are cautious. I built this whole thing because I was too.
Now is your chance to work with an agency who cares about your numbers and won't stop until the job is done right.

Over $1M of my own money spent on ads.
Paid advertising was never a client budget for me. It was my money, my mortgage, and my future riding on whether the ads worked.
Years of courses, late nights, and testing. Most of it not profitable, because that is what learning looks like when you pay for it yourself.
The company grew to seven figures under my own marketing direction, and was acquired in 2024.
