3 months ago, I sold my 1st company, Skio, for $105M cash.
Now my 2nd company, Icon, just raised $30M to launch something the world has never seen.
For $1000, we make 6 human creator ads (no AI, 100% real).
We find creators, ship products, write scripts, & edit videos.
It's risk-free:
- Full refund if you don't love your ads.
- You don't pay until you review 6 scripts.
- Unlimited human revisions.
Today, Icon introduces the world's first Agency.
We're not building a normal agency:
- We bought a $12M domain.
- We're backed by Founders Fund and OpenAI + Google DeepMind leaders.
It’s impossible to hire a creative team like ours for even $30K/mo:
- Creative Directors who've worked with $100M brands (IM8, Obvi, Ridge). They update our format library daily based on winning ads (street interviews, skits, & 20+ more).
- 12+ scriptwriters with $80M in Meta adspend.
- 200+ in-house editors who've edited 100K ads.
One more thing...
We're giving away our internal Google Drive with 1000 winning ads that have driven $100M+ in revenue.
You can make $100K copying these ads if you know what you're doing.

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker.
We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition.
Icon (https://t.co/RKWomrKrAu) is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes.
How it works:
1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads.
2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences.
3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete.
4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy.
3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300.
We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points:
1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more.
2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics.
3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for:
🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning
📈 Creative analytics
📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC
👥 Audience research
📁 Video storage & tagging
Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉).
If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻
claude fable 5 can scrape thousands of sold homes and finds the patios with zero shade in 100°+ heat. then it mails the owner a postcard with the fix rendered into their own backyard
here's the system you can sell to contractors:
- scrapes every home sold in the metro in the last 12 months (recent buyers spend the most)
- vision-reads the listing photos, skips the 64% with cover already
- measures the sun on each patio, hour by hour, off google's satellite data
- renders a louvered pergola into the owner's actual backyard photo
- prints the diagnosis on the postcard: "your patio takes 11 hours of direct sun a day. saturday it hits 97°."
- QR opens a heat report for their exact address with a booking link
every install is $6.5k to $18k, one close covers months of retainers and homes sell every single day.
reply "SYSTEM" + RT and i'll send you a free guide so you can build this too (must be following so i can DM you)
i’ve been using Manus AI to build ENTIRE google ads funnels for ecom brands and the results have been ABSURD.....
a proper funnel build used to take me 2-3 weeks
now it’s 2-3 days
- advertorials
- listicles
- comparison pages
- quiz funnels
you name it - manus oneshots it
so I’ve decided to document the entire workflow I’m running with it...
here’s what’s included inside the guide:
- the competitor intelligence prompt
(pulls live data on the top 10 brands' landing pages, angles, and credibility signals, then runs a gap analysis. you find the angle nobody is running, so it doesn't fatigue like the saturated angles do.)
- keyword mapping by funnel stage:
(builds a full map by intent tier, 20 keywords per stage, each mapped to the landing page that actually converts it. "magnesium glycinate" and "why can't i sleep" are different intents. they don't belong on the same page.)
- funnel type selection
(picks the right format per stage - advertorial, comparison page, listicle, quiz, vsl, pdp - and hands you a testing roadmap. a cold supplement buyer needs a totally different pre-sell than a gadget enthusiast.)
- advertorial copywriting
(one prompt pulls real audience language off reddit, amazon, and forums. the next writes a 900-word advertorial that reads like a journalist wrote it, not a marketer. highest-leverage copy you can put in front of cold traffic.)
- the campaign architecture document
(outputs the full blueprint a media buyer runs from. naming convention, ad group structure, match types, bid sequence, negatives, 30-day launch plan. the part most agencies keep in their head, so nothing is ever replicable.)
- the branding audit
(scores the brand 1-5 on domain, photography, social proof, founder presence, and credibility before you spend a dollar on cold traffic. the best campaigns won't save a page that doesn't look legit.)
all backed by experience of scaling my pet brand to 7-figures with google ads

@wearetheselect@jonsfeldman Do you purchase email lists and target them using custom audiences? Or it it from existing emails that you’ve collected through pop up
@stockmarketcody Be careful on sending out automated text messages, Realtors are on the DNC list and you can get hit with a potential suit. And with the 10DLC compliance if too many are marked as spam your business overall delivery rate will get destroyed
