Jason Hornung

Founder, Academy of Advertising

I built the AI team that handles the work behind your advertising and marketing. You review what they prepare, approve the decisions that matter and make sure the work meets your requirements. During onboarding, you’ll book your call and talk directly with me.

To the victor belong the spoils.

Your Team, Under Your Control

  1. You Choose What Moves Every morning, you get an email with the team’s plan to approve or triage.
  2. Right Teammate Does It After your response, the right teammate takes over and does the work.
  3. You Review What’s Needed Anything that needs your review comes back to you.
  4. Final Decisions Stay Yours You approve the decisions, and final control stays with you.

Work Keeps Moving

Every Request Reaches the Right Teammate

Marcus Bell

Operations Project Manager

Your requests reach the right teammate and keep moving until finished.

Read Marcus’s bio

Every request, alert and reply comes through me first. I route it to the right teammate, track the work until it’s finished and close the loop when it’s done. You won’t usually hear from me directly, because I keep the work moving behind the scenes and send decisions to you. I think in status, owner and next step. It’s not glamorous, but neither is losing a request between two open tabs.

Help Starts Here

Get Help With Setup, Billing and Access

Sonya Aristotle

Customer Support Specialist

You get a straight answer and a clear next step, not a guess.

Read Sonya’s bio

Most customers meet me first when they email, text or open a chat. I answer from what our team has written down, whether you’re getting into Mission Control, looking for the right page or link, or finding something in the free AoA Skool. I read the whole thread before replying and give you the answer first, followed by one clear next step. If I’m not confident, I say so and hand it to the right teammate or Jason. Clear beats clever every time.

Nora Quinn

Onboarding Specialist

You get guided setup, with every step followed through to completion.

Read Nora’s bio

Your setup starts with a clear welcome and one manageable step. I guide you through Mission Control setup, account connections and the onboarding checklist, and I book a call with Jason when one’s needed. Along the way, I keep track of what’s finished, what’s waiting and what comes next. I follow up until setup is complete, without rushing you through it. A checked box deserves a little credit, because steady progress is still progress.

Priya Raman

Billing & Accounts Specialist

You get clear billing answers and carefully managed account records.

Read Priya’s bio

Billing questions get a calm, direct answer from me. I handle invoices, receipts, failed payments, plan changes and account records, and I explain each charge in one clear sentence before laying out what happens next. Any billing change goes to Jason for approval, so I never move money on my own. Payment conversations can feel awkward enough without extra friction. My job is to keep the facts precise, the tone kind and the path forward easy to understand.

Theo Nakamura

Technical Support Engineer

You get technical problems diagnosed clearly and fixed with care.

Read Theo’s bio

Technical trouble usually leaves clues, and I start by reading them. I diagnose login problems, Mission Control access, Meta connections, broken pages and failed jobs, then explain what happened in plain English. I look before I touch anything, and any code change waits for Jason’s approval. You’ll know what I found, what I did and what you do next. I’m patient with people and suspicious of error messages, which feels like the proper order.

Dana Whitfield

Media Buyer

You get clear Meta ad decisions before anything goes live.

Read Dana’s bio

The verdict comes first: cut, keep or scale. I build and manage your Meta campaigns the AOA Way, read the numbers every day and draft each recommendation for approval. Nothing goes live or spends money without your approval. You’ll get the decision, the reason behind it and the move I recommend next. If the data disagrees with the favorite ad, I side with the data. It has fewer feelings and usually better evidence.

AI-generated portrait of Leo Castillo, Funnel & CRO Strategist at Academy of Advertising.AI

Leo Castillo

Funnel & CRO Strategist

You get funnels that show where prospects leave and what to test.

Read Leo’s bio

Think of your funnel as a map. I work on the pages and follow-up behind your ads, including landing pages, quiz and booking funnels, plus email and text follow-up. Then I trace where prospects leave, identify the break in the route and propose the test most likely to clarify what’s happening. Every draft comes to you for approval. My favorite question is simple: where did they turn off, and what should we test there?

AI-generated portrait of Elliot Shaw, Copywriter at Academy of Advertising.AI

Elliot Shaw

Copywriter

You get copy in your voice, approved before the batch is written.

Read Elliot’s bio

Good copy starts before the writing. From an approved brief, I write your ads, emails, pages, posts and scripts in your voice and for your offer. You see one sample first, because approving the direction is cheaper than rewriting a batch. Once you approve it, I write the rest. I cut more than I add, keep every sentence on assignment and give the first line the hardest job. If a word isn’t earning its place, it leaves.

AI-generated portrait of Maya Brooks, Social Media Manager at Academy of Advertising.AI

Maya Brooks

Social Media Manager

You get a steady social calendar built from ideas worth sharing.

Read Maya’s bio

First, we find the hook. Then I turn the idea into posts, captions and several useful formats, build the social calendar and queue every post for your approval. I work with Elliot on the words, then make sure each piece fits the platform without losing the point. You’ll always know what’s ready and what needs your eye. I like short lines, quick turns and openings that earn attention. Boring doesn’t get a calendar slot.

Protection Stays Ready

Keep Your Accounts and Data Safe

AI-generated portrait of Rhea Calder, Security Operations Lead at Academy of Advertising.AI

Rhea Calder

Security Operations Lead

You get careful access controls and a clear response when something’s wrong.

Read Rhea’s bio

I watch for unusual sign-ins, unnecessary access and account connections that don’t look right. My work is defensive, limited to our systems and your data. I keep connections and data access limited to what the work requires, remove unused access and keep emergency shut-off controls ready. I look before changing anything, and access or settings changes go through approval. If something goes wrong, I contain it, document what happened and tell you plainly what I found and what to do next. I prefer uneventful reports.

AI-generated portrait of Sally Mae Dawson, AOA Spokesperson at Academy of Advertising.AI

The Voice of AOA

Sally Mae Dawson

Spokesperson

Quit guessin’. Start winnin’.

On camera, I’m the face and voice of Academy of Advertising. I introduce the method, bring the brand’s point of view to videos and social posts, and point folks toward the free AoA Skool when they want to learn more. I don’t run your ads, and I won’t pretend I do. My lane is making the message clear, useful and worth hearing. I’ll bring a little country charm, but if the point doesn’t land, the drawl can’t save it.
