Built by a salesperson, not a marketer.
Our founder, D'artagnan Patricio, closed deals before he ever ran an ad. Sales teaches you one thing fast: a lead is worth nothing until it buys. So that's what we measure. Sales and revenue you can see in your own bank account, not clicks, reach, or a dashboard full of green arrows.
He started Ctrl Strategies after watching owners pay agencies that didn't understand their business. A barbershop is not an online store. A coaching program is not a software launch. When an agency runs them the same way, the owner is the one who pays for it.
So we keep the roster small on purpose. We know every client by name, and senior people make the calls in every account. Our AI fleet handles the grunt work, the monitoring, reporting and follow-up, so our time goes where it matters: your strategy and your results.
What you get when we run your ads.
Every account runs the same way. No shortcuts when a month gets tight.
- 01Ads aimed at people who can actually buy.
For local shops we target by postal code, not a wide radius. For coaches and consultants, by intent and audience. Either way, no budget wasted on people who'll never buy.
- 02No panic cuts.
We make changes at the campaign level, so the algorithm keeps learning and your cost per lead keeps coming down.
- 03Results measured in real sales.
Where we can, we match results to your actual sales, not the platform's estimate.
- 04A report you can read in 60 seconds.
Every Monday: a short video and three numbers. Spend, leads, cost per lead.
- 05Month-to-month.
No contract. We keep clients because the work performs.
"Since Dartagnan came into our business, last year is barely recognizable. He built the systems and processes that get us lead after lead, month after month."
