Hi, my name is Anthony. I'm the founder and operator of a growth agency called Levered Marketing. Over the past 10 years I've worked at YC companies such as Clever. I was a senior growth marketer at Lyft, working on their marketplace for over four years and recently I was the head of growth and I decided to go out and start my own shop. After working with a small transformative business working on AI and I decided to open up my own shop, leveraging AI to operate faster and provide excellent work for my clients at scale for a reasonable price. So yeah, let's talk adspire. Okay. Yeah, so adspire has been critical for running my agency, Levered Marketing. We grew so quickly and I really needed to find a tool that worked with my working style. Basically I work out of cursor, using it as my command center to do all my execution, planning, debugging. And I didn't want to have to keep going back and forth between the UIs like Meta, which is, don't even get me started on that, and the UIs for Google. Ad Spire's tools just let me immediately see what was going on, immediately pull, immediately write and read to all of my campaigns. I had about six different clients I was managing at the time and I needed to be able to see their performance quickly. I needed to be able to see which ads were running and have them all viewed in front of me without having to like dig through and click different ad groups and open different ads. So this was essential for running my business. We had some great wins in those two, three months when I first started using, first started using Ad Spire. I think besides Cursor, Ad Spire is one of my like tools that I use the most and has like the highest amount of spend for my, for my agency. But it's worth it. Like I put them up there with the use that I have to pay for Cursor and token usage up there with the usage for Ad Spire. So it's definitely worth it. Some of the wins we had, for example i5x the patient growth, the new patient growth for a cardiology practices across a network of about 10 different cardiology practices. We 5x the patient growth for a B2B manufacturer, we 2x their revenue from their E commerce store and for a service business, I was able to shift some of their revenue just by finding some quirks in their meta campaigns that they were spending money on active customers instead of acquiring new customers. And Aspire was pretty helpful at finding these different campaigns that were like who they were targeting and why they were targeting. Once you could see it all in one place, it was able to identify that these people were actually just our active customers or their active customers. So I was able to move that, generating about 70% of their daily revenue from new and returning churn customers. So that was a lot of wins that came from having adspire and having these tools at the ready. I do think you could probably get it through the Meta mcp, but the way that I believe adspire is caching the data and pulling the data and even doing a little bit of pre processing, it helps provide my AI with all of the details that it needs. And I think the best part is being able to just read all your ads, write all your ads directly from your command center. Whether it be claude code or Claude or ChatGPT, it's essential to have everything that you're using on a database day to day as a marketer, directly at your fingertips. At the time I'm making this, they also maybe it's just for early release, but I don't know. But they have Google Search Console added. They have Google Tag Manager added, which again I was just downloading JSON for Google Tag Manager uploading jsons. So that's super helpful to be able to like read and write directly into Google Tag Manager. I think you can write. I have to double check that Google Search Console as well. I was doing the same thing, just doing large exports and then feeding it to my AI. But this is super helpful to just have it right there and building SEO strategies around my Google Search Console. So yeah, this is a great win for my business. I'm sure it'd be a great win for your business. I would definitely recommend them five stars all around. So yeah, it's been great working with them.
