What we handle

Everything between "we should run ads" and actually seeing new customers.

Strategy & targeting

We define who your ad should reach, where, and why — audience, budget, and platform choices built around your actual customers, not guesswork.

Ad creative

Copy, imagery, and layout built to stop a scroll — carousels, single-image ads, and short video, matched to what your brand actually sells.

Launch & reporting

We set up the campaign, track what's working, and send you plain-language updates — no jargon, just what's converting and what we're changing next.

Built inside Meta's own tools

We don't guess — every campaign is built and run directly in Meta Ads Manager, the same platform Facebook and Instagram ads run on, so nothing is a black box to you.

Audience targeting

Location radius, age range, and interest categories built around who actually buys from you — not a generic "everyone" audience.

Ad formats that fit the platform

Carousel, single-image, and Stories placements across Facebook and Instagram — matched to what actually gets attention in each feed.

Meta Pixel tracking

Installed on your website so every click, view, and inquiry ties back to the exact ad that drove it — real numbers, not vibes.

Budget you control

You set the daily budget and can pause anytime — we optimize inside it, but the spend and the account are always yours.

Who we are

A new agency, built on real hands-on work — not empty promises.

Founder

Evan

Evan has spent four years studying advertising and marketing, and is applying that directly to building Gen Start from the ground up right now. That means he brings real, current knowledge of what it actually takes to run a business — not just theory — plus a genuine drive to help other people win.

Founder

Brayden

Brayden brings the same foundation — four years of hands-on marketing and advertising study — and is putting it to work building Gen Start alongside Evan. He understands what it takes to get a business off the ground because he's doing it, and he treats every client's budget like it's his own.

Note

We're new — and upfront about it

Gen Start Advertising Co. is a new agency. What we bring isn't a long client list yet — it's real, hands-on campaign-building skill, full attention on every account, and pricing that reflects a team just getting started.

How a project runs

Four steps, start to first campaign live.

Audit

We look at what you're already doing — website, socials, existing ads if any — and find the gap between your reputation and your visibility.

Strategy

We define the audience, budget, and message that fits your actual business, not a generic template.

Build

We write the copy, source or design the creative, and set up the campaign in Meta Ads Manager end to end.

Launch & report

We monitor performance, adjust targeting and creative, and send you a plain-language update on what's working.
