From a Small PPC Desk to a Full-Scale Performance Marketing Agency

ads knk was founded with a simple but powerful belief: that small and mid-size businesses deserve the same caliber of Google Ads management as Fortune 500 companies. Our journey began in Jamestown, NY, where our founders — frustrated by the gap between agencies promising results and those actually delivering them — decided to build something different.

Over seven years, we've grown from a two-person PPC consultancy into a full-service Google ads agency and paid media agency, managing over $2 million in ad spend across 40+ industries. Our approach is always data-first, client-centric, and grounded in transparency.

  • Google Partner certified — meeting Google's highest performance standards
  • Full-funnel strategy: from keyword research to conversion rate optimization
  • Transparent reporting with real-time dashboards and monthly deep-dives
  • Dedicated account managers — you'll always know who's managing your budget
  • No long-term lock-in contracts — we earn your business every single month

Mission, Vision & Approach

Three pillars that define how we work and why clients choose ads knk as their performance marketing agency.

The Principles Behind Every Campaign

These values aren't slogans — they're how we make decisions, build teams, and serve clients every single day.

Data-Driven Decisions

Every campaign strategy, bid adjustment, and creative choice is grounded in real data. We let the numbers guide us — not guesswork.

Radical Transparency

You see exactly where your money goes. We share full campaign data, explain every decision, and never hide behind jargon or vanity metrics.

True Partnership

We treat your ad budget like it's our own. Your business goals become our goals, and your success is the only metric we ultimately care about.

Continuous Improvement

Google Ads is always evolving and so are we. We relentlessly test, learn, and optimize so your campaigns stay ahead of the competition.

Client-First Culture

No automated emails, no offshore account managers. Real humans who know your business, answer your calls, and proactively share wins and challenges.

Accountability

We set clear performance benchmarks before every engagement. If we don't hit targets, we own it — and work harder to course-correct, fast.
