PRAISE FROM OUR CLIENTS

“I have been so fortunate to be able to work with the Ad Agency. Ad School took me from making 3K a month to over 60K. In the months I’ve been working with the Ad Agency my income has not dropped below 65K and this month I’m on track to hit 90K in one month. Working with them has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business!”

- LJ Andrews, Author Ad Agency Client

“First, (the Author Ad Agency) audited our ads. Then the mighty Quinn fixed the serious issues and launched new ads. Within the first month, our sales doubled to 30K - while our ad spend stayed stable. In the second month - December - sales nearly hit six-figures (!) yet our ACOS stayed around 20 percent. (!!) We could not be happier to be working with them. And perhaps best of all, we now have more time to write.”

- Joe and Sibella Giorello, Author Ad Agency Clients

“Every member of the Groundbreakers coaching staff is genuinely interested in your success as an author. They are knowledgeable, and they are also warm, caring people who want you to succeed.”

- Julie Cunningham, Groundbreakers Client

“Groundbreakers literally changed the trajectory of my career! Without the guidance I received I would have continued to struggle with strategies that don't work. I now have a path forward that makes me feel confident, optimistic, and more in control of where I go next.”

- S.G. Tasz, Groundbreakers Client
