A direct relationship.
You speak directly with the consultant reviewing your marketing and making recommendations.
Hi, I’m Dylan.
I know what it feels like when every decision lands on your desk. I’ve built a business, put my own money behind the marketing, and lived with the results.
Dylan PearsonGood businesses.
Real working relationships.



The path here
I started as a software developer at E*Trade. Building things taught me to look closely at how the pieces connect. That way of thinking followed me into marketing and entrepreneurship.
In 2020, I cofounded Upstart Epoxy. We worked on the product, the positioning, the creative, the website, acquisition, and retention as one connected business. It reached 25,000 customers in its first year and was acquired eighteen months after launch.
That experience shapes how I work today. An ad account only tells part of the story. The offer, the margins, the customer experience, and the people doing the work all matter.
My developer background also shapes how I use AI. I bring it into research, creative development, and the workflows behind the marketing. I help you choose where it is useful, put it to work, and keep a person accountable for the result.
