Tired of agencies that sell you with the founder —
then hand you to a rookie?

At Spotlight, the person who audits your account is the person who runs it. I'm Jason. I personally audit every brand live on video, and my senior creative team and I run your ads. No bait-and-switch. No junior media buyers learning on your budget.

The bait & switch

The dirty secret of the agency sales process.

If you've worked with an agency before, this will sound familiar:

01

The pitch

You get wined and dined by the founder or a smooth salesperson. They know their stuff. You sign.

02

The handoff

Onboarding hits and you're quietly passed to a junior media buyer with a fraction of the experience — learning the ropes on your ad budget.

03

The result

Results stall. Communication gets vague. The expert who sold you is nowhere to be found.

You deserve the expert you were sold. Every month. Not just on the sales call.

The Spotlight difference

Here's how working with me is different.

Typical Agency
  • Founder or salesperson closes you
  • Handed to a junior media buyer
  • Account is one of 50 a junior juggles
  • You chase updates
  • Built to scale headcount
Spotlight · Founder-Led
  • Jason audits you himself, live on video
  • Jason + senior creative team run your account
  • Intentionally small client roster
  • You talk to the person doing the work
  • Built to get you the best results
Your free strategic review

A real audit. Live. With me — not a sales rep.

No generic PDF. No discovery call that's secretly a pitch. I record a live video walkthrough of your ad account and show you exactly what I see — what's working, what's leaking money, and what I'd do to scale it.

How it works

STEP 01

Apply in 60 seconds

Tell me about your brand and current spend so I can prep.

STEP 02

I audit your account live

I screen-record a real teardown of your Meta ads: structure, creative, targeting, tracking, and where spend is being wasted.

STEP 03

You get a clear roadmap

Specific, prioritized action items you can use — whether or not we ever work together.

What's in the teardown

Every audit I record follows the same proven framework — the one I've run on hundreds of accounts. Six things I dig into:

01

Ad Account Teardown

Campaign structure, creative, targeting, tracking, and exactly where spend is leaking.

02

Store Performance

A 90-day breakdown of your sales, AOV, conversion rate, and returning-customer rate.

03

Page Speed & Tech

Your mobile load time (we aim for under 1.5s) and the fixes that quietly lower your cost per acquisition.

04

Funnel Strategy

Mapping your top / middle / bottom funnel using the Meta-backed structure (more on that below).

05

Multi-Channel Retargeting

Where SMS and email should plug into your paid social to capture revenue you're leaving behind.

06

Competitive Edge

Where you stand against competitors and the openings they're missing.

You get all of it recorded, walked through, and handed to you as a prioritized roadmap. Genuinely free, no obligation — if we're a fit, we'll talk. If not, you keep the roadmap.

Why my audits hit different

The funnel framework I build every account around was refined inside Meta's HQ.

Meta-Backed Strategy

This strategy was refined over 2 days at Meta's headquarters in Austin, TX, working directly with the Meta Marketing Science team — the structure Meta itself backs as the optimal way to organize campaigns for maximum performance.

Jason Smith, Founder of Spotlight Social Advertising

The person who'll actually run your ads

Jason Smith — Founder & CEO.

I found my way into Meta advertising after 13 years as an LAPD officer. Today I'm one of the most experienced paid social growth marketers you'll find. When you work with Spotlight, you're not a handoff — you get me and my senior creative team directly. That's the whole point.

A Promise From The Founder

I'll never scale this into a 100-person agency. That's the point.

Every agency I've watched grow past a certain size has done it the same way — hire cheap, train fast, and stack as many accounts as possible onto the newest person in the room. The founder you met on the sales call disappears, and your business becomes someone's training ground.

I'm not interested in building that. I'd rather work with a smaller number of serious brands and actually be in the account — writing the strategy, reviewing the creative, watching the numbers, picking up the phone when something breaks. That's the work I'm good at, and it's the work that moves the needle.

So no, we won't be the biggest agency on the internet. We'll just be the one where the founder you hired is the founder running your ads — every month, for as long as you're with us.

— Jason

Is this a fit?

This is for you if
  • You're an e-commerce brand spending $10K/mo or more on Meta ads — including $100K+/mo
  • You have a proven product and want to scale profitably
  • You're tired of being handed to junior buyers
  • You want a senior operator personally hands-on in your account
Probably not a fit if
  • You're not yet running paid ads or have no product-market fit
  • You want the cheapest option over the best results
  • You want a giant agency with a big account-management layer

Questions, answered.

Is the audit really free?+

Yes. I record a live teardown of your account and hand you a roadmap. No cost, no obligation. If we're a fit we'll talk about working together; if not, you keep the insights.

Who actually runs my ads if I sign?+

Me and my senior creative team. You will never be passed to a junior media buyer. That's the core promise of this agency.

Why don't you just scale and hire more buyers?+

Because results would suffer. I'd rather stay intentionally small and deliver exceptional outcomes than chase headcount. Fewer clients, better work.

What do you need from me for the audit?+

Basic info about your brand and current spend, and read access to your ad account so I can review the real numbers. You'll just approve a partner request inside Meta — I never need your password, and there's no call required to get your audit.

How big do I need to be?+

This is built for established e-com brands spending $10K/mo or more on Meta — and we love working with brands at $100K+/mo. If you're spending at scale and want a senior operator personally in your account, apply.

How fast will I hear back?+

We review applications quickly and reach out to get your audit moving, usually within a couple business days.

What if I'm already working with an agency?+

Most of the brands I take on were. That's exactly who this is for — founders who got sold by the founder, then handed to a junior buyer and watched results stall. The audit costs you nothing and shows you what your current setup is leaving on the table. Worst case, you get a free second opinion you can take anywhere.
