Built by operators.
Built for operators.
Founded in 2020. Built on 12+ years of operator experience before that. ADSRUNNER is the agency we wished existed — senior strategists, proprietary AI infrastructure, and transparent reporting for brands that take advertising seriously.
Performance marketing is a craft, not a hack.
Four principles shape every account we run, every hire we make, every dashboard we ship. They're unglamorous on purpose — the boring stuff is what compounds.
Compound, don't convert
One-time spikes don't build businesses. Sustainable systems do. We optimize for trajectory, not screenshots. The brands we work with want to be bigger in three years, not have a viral month.
Measure what matters
ROAS without margin context is fiction. Attribution without first-party data is guessing. CPA without LTV is theatre. We rebuild measurement infrastructure before we rebuild campaigns.
Operate with intent
Every dollar should have a purpose. Every campaign should answer a question. Every test should teach something. No spray and pray. No best-practice templates. No agency theatre.
Build, don't rent
Most agencies rent the same off-the-shelf tools as their clients. We built our own infrastructure — AI agents that monitor accounts 24/7, attribution systems that survive privacy changes, dashboards that surface what matters. The platform is the moat.
Embedded teams. Transparent systems. Real accountability.
Senior operators on every account
No junior account managers learning on your budget. Every client has a strategist with 8+ years running accounts, supported by specialists across creative, data, and platform expertise.
AI handles what humans shouldn't
Our agents monitor accounts every minute. They surface anomalies, flag wasted spend, and propose optimizations. Humans make the strategic calls. Machines handle the watching.
Transparent dashboards, real-time
Every client gets access to a live dashboard showing exactly what we're doing and why. No hidden numbers. No monthly PDFs that arrive too late to act on.
Slack-first communication
We're in your Slack, not behind a ticket queue. Strategic decisions happen in real-time, with the same urgency as your internal team.
No long contracts
Three-month minimums, then month-to-month. We earn the relationship every quarter. If we're not the right partner, you should be free to find one who is.
Outcomes, not deliverables
We're not paid by the campaign. We're paid to grow your business. Our incentives are aligned with revenue, ROAS, and long-term enterprise value.
We're building infrastructure other agencies will eventually rent.
Most performance marketing agencies are commodities — same tools, same playbooks, same generic dashboards. We're building proprietary infrastructure: AI agents, attribution systems, creative pipelines, and campaign intelligence that give our clients an unfair advantage.

I started ADSRUNNER because the agency model was broken.
Brands were being sold templated playbooks dressed up as strategy. Junior account managers were learning on multi-million dollar budgets. Reporting arrived weeks late, in PDFs that obscured more than they revealed. And meanwhile, the actual practice of paid media was getting harder — privacy changes, platform consolidation, AI-driven ad systems — while most agencies kept doing what they did in 2019.
I wanted to build something different. A team of senior operators, not pyramid-staffed account hierarchies. Proprietary infrastructure, not rebadged off-the-shelf tools. Real-time transparency, not monthly performance theatre. A partner that cared about your business as much as you do, because we've run businesses ourselves.
Six years on, $200M+ in managed spend, twelve more in the trenches before that — that's what we're still building. The agency of the next decade, engineered with intent.
If you're a brand that takes advertising seriously, we should talk.
