Sound familiar?
Your ads keep getting restricted, and nobody can tell you why.
Accounts get shut, and the money you spent goes with them.
You find out your account was shut after the fact, and get excuses instead of a fix.
Your account gets handed to a junior, and the work shows it.
Our ad accounts don't go down. Your ads run on strong accounts from official Meta partners, with warm backups ready on your same pixel, so your data is kept.
Every ad starts from deep research: your market, your rivals, and what buyers say in their own words on Reddit, forums and reviews.
Every result, and every other service you take, live in one dashboard you can open any time.
Meta ads
A steady stream of ads in every format working now: face-to-camera videos, street interviews, podcast clips, animation and still images.
Meta now decides who sees your ad by reading the ad itself. So every ad we make is genuinely different, to reach a different kind of buyer.

Pages that convertNew visitors get a page that teaches before it sells, buyers close to buying get a direct sales page. Up to full custom stores, tested with a real purchase before launch.
Your live dashboard
Every service you take from us is live in one custom dashboard. Watch the work being made and the results coming in.
Click tracking that links sales back to the ads.
Daily adjustments, a weekly report on spend and results, and a weekly call to go through it.
We judge ads on what a new customer costs you, against what they spend with you over the months after.
The first order often only pays back the ad. The profit is in the orders that follow, so we never judge an ad on the first sale alone.
How it works
A looping example of the Icarus Mainframe: a brief comes in, agents read the brand file, write the welcome email, build three ads and pick search terms, and the work lands in a review list.
A senior team with ten years in restricted brands, running your ads, email, SEO and social with the world's most advanced agentic marketing systems. Experienced marketers make every call.

Straight answers
Ask anything. These are the ones we hear most.
Ad accounts from official Meta partners, not your own Facebook page, ad account or Business Manager. Those accounts are usually stronger, which tends to mean cheaper reach and sales when the ads are right.
Our ad accounts don't go down. Your ads run on our own ad accounts, with warm backups ready and the same pixel connected, the tracking code on your site that records visits and sales, so your data is kept.
You can read more on our Meta ads page.
No. We can't know your numbers before we've seen your data, so any promise up front would be made up. After the call you get a written proposal instead.
You see your landing pages on a private preview link, and nothing goes live until you've approved it.
You do. Every page, ad and asset we make for you is yours, and it stays yours if you ever leave.
No. There are no long-term contracts on any service.
Price and ad spend are set for your business on the call. Then you get a written proposal.
Restricted and high-risk brands are our speciality.
On some Meta campaigns, when it suits the brand. It means Meta's checking bots and fake clicks see a safe, plain page, while real people who clicked your ad land on the page built to sell.
It also filters out bot clicks that push up your ad costs. We use it on Meta only.
When it suits your brand better, we run fully compliant ads and pages instead, with the product a click or two later.
