Here's something most agency owners will never admit.‍

Every agency model is broken.

We know because we spent more than 10 years running them all.

Full service agency with a bloated staff, multiple offices and 60+ clients.
Ultra premium boutique with $50k retainers and white glove service.
Pure performance agency that only charged based on results.

These weren't financial failures for us. We managed over $250M in ad spend for clients ranging from Fortune 500 brands like 3M, to venture backed SaaS companies like Creatify, to Ecom brands with cult followings like Posh Peanut, to public figures like Kevin Harrington and Pat Flynn.

Our clients got results. We scaled brands to eight and nine figures.

But running these agencies for a decade revealed something nobody talks about:
Every model has fatal flaws that make it impossible to truly deliver what businesses actually need.

Here's what else we did during that decade...

We built and scaled our own brands Ecom companies, info products, service businesses.

We weren't just running ads for others. We were spending our own money. Taking our own risks. Living the same reality as our clients.

When you're the one writing the checks, you see things differently. You understand what actually matters. You know the difference between someone who's optimizing for your results and someone who's optimizing for their retainer.

During our Unicorn Innovations years, we also taught over 10,000 students everything about paid advertising. Facebook, TikTok, Google, the entire system.

We created training programs for DigitalMarketer, ClickBank, Smart Marketer, Kajabi and more.

Our cofounder Maxwell Finn has spoken at every major industry event like Traffic & Conversion Summit, Social Media Marketing World, Affiliate World, Affiliate Summit.

He's trained thousands of marketers on what actually works.

‍And here's the piece nobody else can claim...

We've audited hundreds of ad accounts for businesses currently working with agencies.

Business owners would come to us frustrated with their agency:
"Can you look at what they're doing and tell us if it's actually good?"

What we found was shocking:

• Agencies owning the business's ad account so they couldn’t leave without losing everything.
• Media buyers logging in once or twice per month to duplicate an existing ad and calling it “optimization.”
• Campaign structures that were objectively wrong but the business owner didn’t know enough to recognize it.
• Creative that hadn’t been updated in six months while the agency collected $20k monthly retainers.
• Attribution tracking completely broken but nobody fixed it because it would expose how bad the results actually were.

We've seen every scam. Every corner cut. Every lie agencies tell.

After over a decade of running agencies, scaling our own brands, and auditing hundreds of accounts, we had a perspective nobody else in this industry has.

We knew what it was like to run an agency and deal with every operational challenge.
We knew what it was like to be a business owner spending our own money on ads and needing real results.
We knew what elite marketing looked like because we'd taught thousands of people and seen who's actually exceptional versus who's faking it.
We'd seen inside hundreds of agency relationships and documented every problem systematically.

So one year ago, we took everything we learned at Unicorn Innovations and built what we wish had existed from day one, Unicorn Marketers... the evolution of everything we discovered.

Not another agency. Not another matching service. Not another recruiting service.

We're Not an Agency. We're an Agency Killer.

No bloated overhead that forces volume over quality.

We built a network of the top 1% of paid advertising experts in the world. Full stack marketers who’ve each managed $7-figures+ in ad spend, scaled brands to seven, eight, or nine figures, and can handle creative, copy, media buying, CRO, analytics, and psychology all at an elite level.

The people we spent a decade trying to hire full-time but could never get to say “Yes.”

You Get One Expert Who Does Everything

Not a team of specialists who barely communicate.
One Unicorn Marketer who owns the entire outcome.

They build strategy. Concept creative. Write copy. Set up campaigns. Optimize. Analyze. Scale.
No silos. No finger pointing. No “that’s not my department.”
If something’s broken, they fix it, because they can.

Direct Access. No Account Manager Buffer.

You work directly with the expert doing the work.

Not an account manager who “relays requests.”
Not a project manager who “coordinates.”

The actual person running your ads.

You text them. They respond.
Need to pivot? You pivot that day.

No layers. No delays. No bureaucracy.

We Only Do Paid Advertising. Nothing Else.

This is where we're completely different from MarketerHire or Toptal.

Those platforms are for generalist marketers: social, SEO, content, email, a little of everything.
We only do paid ads: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google, and YouTube.

We've lived and breathed paid advertising for over a decade, managed $250M+ in ad spend, taught 10,000+ students, audited hundreds of agency accounts, been beta testers for major platforms, and presented at TikTok HQ.

That level of specialization is why we can identify and vet true paid ads experts better than anyone in the world.

When we say someone is top 1%, it actually means something.

What Makes Someone a “Unicorn Marketer”

Less than 1% of applicants make our exclusive community.

They’ve Done It. Many Times. At Scale.
Personally managed 7 and 8-figures+ in ad spend.
Taken brands from zero to seven, seven to eight, eight to nine figures, across multiple industries and platforms.
We verify everything. References. Screenshots. Actual results they've delivered.

They’re Elite at Everything.
Copy that converts. Creative that stops scrolls.
Campaign structures that maximize algorithms.
Data analysis that identifies problems.
Funnel optimization. Customer psychology. All of it.

If they can’t do all of it at an exceptional level, they don’t make it in.

They Move Fast.
Launch campaigns today. Pivot immediately when data shifts. Test several creative concepts in a week. No permission needed. No meetings. Hours, not weeks.

They Use AI to 10X Output.
Creative concepts in minutes. 50 copy variations in an hour.
Instant data insights.
While agencies are “exploring AI,” our experts are already using it to deliver better results faster.

They Tell the Truth.
No corporate jargon. No managing expectations. No gatekeeping knowledge.
They’ll tell you when something’s not working.
They’ll challenge you when you’re wrong.
They’ll teach your team.

We don’t want order takers. We want partners who care enough to be honest.

Who This Is For (And Who Should Stay Away)

We work best with:

• Ecom and DTC brands doing $5M–$50M per year.
• Service businesses scaling with paid ads.
• Info product and education companies.
• Founders burned by agencies.
• CMOs who need elite paid media talent.
• Business owners who value results over theater.

We’re not for:

• Anyone not spending anything on ads.
• People who want the cheapest option.
• Anyone who needs lots of meetings and hand holding.
• Founders who want yes-men.
• “Brand awareness” focused marketers.
• Startups under $3M in revenue.

The Choice Is Simple. Results or Theater.

Stop funding someone else’s lifestyle.

You don’t have a product problem.
You don’t have a market problem.
You have a marketing talent problem.

After over a decade managing $250M+ in ad spend, scaling our own brands, teaching 10,000+ students, and auditing hundreds of agency accounts, we built the solution we wish had existed.

Our Unicorn Marketers work with three to five clients max because you can’t deliver elite service at scale.

When you work with us, you’re not client number 147. You’re one of a few businesses your expert is personally invested in growing.

If you’re done with agencies that own your data…
If you’re tired of media buyers who log in twice per month…
If you’re ready for someone who actually knows what they’re doing…

Let’s talk.
No sales pitch. No pressure.
Just an honest conversation about whether we can help you grow.
