What we do

We do not run ads. We acquire clients and customers.

An ad agency stops at clicks. We start there and finish at signed clients. Strategy, ad creative, media buying, funnel architecture, sales script, and closing support all live under one operator who has personally built and scaled five brands.

01

Strategy + Economics

We map your unit economics first. Target CAC, lifetime value, payback window, contribution margin. Then we engineer the offer and acquisition system to hit those numbers, not vanity metrics.

02

Execution + Creative

Ad creative, landing pages, funnels, email and SMS sequences. AI-leveraged production so you get the output of a 14-person agency without the 14-person agency overhead or politics.

03

Sales + Closing

Sales scripts, objection frameworks, closing support, pipeline reviews. The person who closed you is the person running your account. No SDR-to-AE-to-PM relay. Direct line, always.

Case studies

$200K+/mo at 8x+ ROAS

Capital and credit-repair brand (formerly Liquida) sustained multiple six-figure months at 8x+ ROAS. Long-cycle high-intent vertical where the unit economics and follow-up funnel mattered as much as the creative.

Process

From discovery call to scale.

A repeatable five-step motion. Same operator on the call as on the account. No relay race. No drop-offs.

01

Discovery call

30 minutes. We go deep on your offer, your numbers, your bottleneck, and what good actually looks like 12 months from today. No pitch. If it is not a fit either direction, we both walk.

02

Audit and acquisition roadmap

We map your current acquisition system end-to-end. CAC, payback, contribution margin, funnel leakage, creative fatigue, sales-call conversion. You get a written roadmap whether or not you sign.

03

Build and launch

Ad creative, landing pages, funnel architecture, sales script. AI-leveraged production cycles ship in days, not weeks. You see version one of every asset before it goes live.

04

Scale and optimize

Daily creative testing, weekly funnel iteration, monthly offer review. Spend scales with proven unit economics, not gut. Live dashboard shows exactly where every dollar went and what it produced.

05

Quarterly business reviews

Every 90 days we step out of execution and look at the business. What is the next scale unlock. What is the next constraint. What changes in the offer or pricing. Strategy and execution stay aligned by design.

The operator

Built by an operator. Run by the same one.

Anthony Sandi
Founder . Operator . Coach

Operating since 2016. Started in e-commerce learning Facebook ads, copywriting, funnels, and offer creation the long way. Hit the first major revenue month in 2020 and pivoted into the agency model, translating operator-level discipline from e-com into high-ticket lead generation for service brands.

Over $10M in personal and team-managed ad spend. Roughly 85 percent on Meta, the rest split across TikTok and other channels. Peak aggregate single-month spend over $1M across client portfolios. Personally closed seven figures over the phone at a 20 percent close rate using a low-pressure, framework-driven sales approach. Team has closed multiples of that.

The bigger unlock: built a custom AI ops stack that automates research, creative production, dashboards, and sales asset generation. UnlockedAds runs on top of that stack. Which is why a $50K agency output ships at a fraction of legacy agency overhead, and why the person who closed you on the call is the person actually in your ad account.

Common questions

Before you book the call.

How fast do clients usually see results?

Depends on offer maturity. With a proven offer and decent product-market fit, signal in 14 days, measurable lift in 30, scaled by day 60-90. New offers take longer because the first cycle is iterating creative, funnel, and price together. We are honest about what we can and cannot move in the first 30 days during the discovery call.

What is the minimum ad spend you work with?

For the Full Account Management tier we typically need $5K+ per month in media for the data to mean anything. Lower than that and we are guessing instead of optimizing. The Quick-Start tier is decoupled from spend . it is the assets, you control when and how much to scale.

Do you need access to our CRM and ad accounts?

Yes. Read-only on payment processor and CRM for attribution. Full admin on ad accounts under your business manager, which means you own everything from day one and can revoke access anytime. Standard agency setup.

What industries do you work with?

High-ticket services, coaching, consulting, info products, high-ticket DTC. Roughly 70 percent of historical work has been services, 25 percent e-commerce, 5 percent coaching. We do not work in adult, gambling, regulated finance trading, or anything that violates Meta or Google ad policies.

How is this different from a typical agency?

Three differences that matter. One: the person who closed you is the person running your account. Structurally impossible at 50-headcount shops. Two: AI-leveraged ops stack means $50K agency output at a fraction of the overhead. Three: we own the OUTCOME of new clients acquired, not the TASK of running ads. We sit upstream of media-buying commoditization.

Do you guarantee results?

No. Anyone guaranteeing acquisition results in writing is either lying or about to lose money. What we guarantee is the system, the process, and the operator running the account. Results depend on offer, market, and spend. We engineer all three with you.

What happens on the discovery call?

30 minutes. We map your offer, numbers, current acquisition system, and where you want to be in 12 months. No deck. No pitch. End of call you get either a roadmap, a referral somewhere better suited, or a proposal for one of the two tiers. We discuss pricing on the call once we know the scope.

I just want someone to run my Facebook ads. Is that you?

Probably not. Most clients start there and realize the bottleneck is offer, funnel, and sales, not ad creative. If you only need media-buying execution and your offer, funnel, and sales motion are dialed, there are cheaper specialists. We solve the whole acquisition system, not the task.

Ready to acquire real clients?

30 minutes. No pressure. Walk away with a roadmap whether we work together or not.
