Highstone Media runs paid acquisition for operators who'd rather read a bank statement than sit through a brand deck. Meta. Google. TikTok. YouTube. We measure ourselves against one number: profit per dollar spent. If your current agency is still reporting on “reach” and “sentiment,” we should talk.

Performance dashboards and analytics on desk

Four channels. One bank account.

No strategy decks. No 'brand discovery workshops.' We run the accounts, ship the creative, and tie every dollar of spend to a number your CFO will sign off on.

Performance
Meta

Facebook and Instagram, full funnel. For DTC brands spending between $80k and $2M a month. We don't run Meta for service shops or B2B SaaS, because that math doesn't work and we won't pretend it does.

  • Conversions API
  • UGC creative
  • Catalog ads

Search, PMax, Shopping, and YouTube demand-gen. We feed Google's bidder the data it actually needs to optimize for profit instead of Add-to-Cart noise.

  • Search & PMax
  • Shopping feeds
  • YouTube DG
  • Server-side tagging
$3,800/ month

TikTok
& Emerging

TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest. The channels where your customers actually scroll, while your competitors are still fighting about brand guidelines in a Slack thread.

  • Creator sourcing
  • Pinterest Performance+
  • Reddit Conversions
$3,200/ month

Measurement
Stack

GA4, server-side GTM, conversions APIs, and one weekly dashboard that ties media spend to revenue your accountant will actually agree exists.

Ad spend we actually manage
$0.0M
Spread across 34 client accounts on Meta, Google, TikTok, and YouTube. Not 'represented.' Not 'advised on.' Managed.
Average blended ROAS
0.0×
Trailing 90 days, weighted by spend. Measured against shipped revenue, not the inflated numbers ad platforms email you on Mondays.
Annual retention
0%
Month-to-month contracts. Clients stick around because the numbers go up, not because a clause in a contract said they had to.
To first profitable test
0d
Median time from kickoff to your first scaled-up winning creative or campaign. Three weeks. That's it.

One we're quietly proud of.

The full ledger lives on the Work page. Here's one engagement, receipts attached.

Mainline Outdoors

DTC apparel · Bozeman, MT
Inherited a Meta account with 47 ads doing essentially nothing. Trimmed it to the eight that worked, rebuilt the funnel around three product narratives, and wired the Conversions API to fire on shipped orders instead of checkouts. The lift held all the way through the Q4 cost spike that wrecked everybody else.

“They paused two campaigns on the first call and saved us $11k that month.”

What the rest of the ledger sounds like.

Four more from clients currently on the books. We checked in before publishing.

“We came in expecting a deck. We got a Notion doc, a Looker dashboard, and a 4× month inside a quarter.”
Marcus YiFounder · Sundial Skincare
“First agency we've worked with that picked up the phone before we did. Booked-job CAC is down 38% and holding.”
Dana WhitfieldOwner · Northridge HVAC
“Pricing on the homepage. Month-to-month. Senior person on the call. Felt unusual at the time, then we realized everyone else was just bad.”
Priya RanganathanHead of Marketing · Halo Fitness
“Doubled new-patient bookings on the same ad budget by week eight. The previous shop had us on a percentage-of-spend deal and was burning money on autopilot.”
Dr. Tomás EspinozaPractice Owner · Greenhouse Dental

The four we always get on the first call.

The longer list lives on Contact. These four come up before the coffee gets cold.

$30,000 a month in media spend, totaled across all channels. Below that, the math on a retainer makes zero sense for either of us. If you're growing toward that line, send a note anyway. We might know a freelancer worth your time.
Sheridan, Wyoming. The rest of the team is remote across Mountain and Central time. We work on your accounts, not in a co-working space full of houseplants.
Two weeks from signed proposal to your first ad live. We onboard a max of two new clients per month, so the person on your kickoff isn't stretched across nine other accounts.
Yes, and we strongly prefer it. Account history is expensive to rebuild from scratch. The first phase of every engagement decides what stays, what gets rebuilt, and what gets quietly archived. We never start a relationship by deleting your campaigns.

Thirty minutes.Your accounts.Real numbers.

Pull up last month's invoice from your current agency. We'll walk you through what it's actually paying for, and what we'd do instead. No deck. No sales call disguised as a workshop.
