Less blank-page creative.
Production begins with structured evidence and deliberate coverage, not a request to make something new and hope it lands.

A letter from the founder
Why this company exists.
I started In-House Marketers after watching the same movie too many times.
A brand hires an agency. The deck is beautiful. The first month feels like momentum. Then the requests start queueing, the reports get longer than the results, and the people who actually understand your business — your team — spend their week translating for the people who don’t.
The problem isn’t effort. It’s distance. Agencies are organized around what they sell. Your business is organized around what has to work. Everything that matters falls between those two org charts: the ad and the page it lands on, the first purchase and the second, the creative request and the commercial decision behind it.
So we built the thing I kept wishing existed: senior operators who work inside your business — your numbers, your tools, your weekly rhythm — without adding headcount. We built our own creative operating system, AdsMatrix, because the work deserved better infrastructure than a shared drive and a request queue.
No account managers. No handoffs. No theater.
If that sounds like what you’ve been trying to hire, get inside.
— Cole Haring, Founder
Get inside ↗The anti-agency thesis
The handoff is where growth goes to wait.
Agencies are usually organized around what they sell. Your business is organized around what has to work.
That gap is where the work actually lives. We operate inside it — close enough to share the context, named on the outcome, and accountable for what happens next.

Acquire. Retain.
Convert. Operate.
Four capabilities. One commercial context. No channel gets to pretend it works alone.
CAPABILITY / 01
Acquire
We connect Meta, Google, shopping feeds, creative learning, merchandising, and unit economics so spend decisions reflect the whole business.
- Meta Ads
- Google Ads
- Shopping feeds
CAPABILITY / 02
Retain
We run Klaviyo strategy, campaigns, flows, segmentation, and deliverability as a commercial program connected to products and customer behavior.
- Klaviyo
- Campaigns
- Flows
CAPABILITY / 03
Convert
We connect Shopify, landing pages, merchandising, offers, and experimentation to the real traffic mix instead of treating CRO as isolated button testing.
- Shopify
- Landing pages
- Merchandising
CAPABILITY / 04
Operate
We design the reporting, AdsMatrix-powered creative systems, automations, and decision rhythms that let acquisition, retention, and conversion work together.

We didn't buy another dashboard. We built the operating layer.
DEMONSTRATION / FICTIONAL PRODUCT
Demonstration on a fictional product. Client work stays confidential until publication is approved — the method is what you're seeing.
Below is one full cycle, run end to end on an invented product so nothing has to be withheld: the brief, the three competing bets, the coverage that came out of them, and what the results changed.

SYSTEM OUTPUT A grounded creative brief
Learning that survives the handoff.
References, decisions, feedback, and iterations remain connected so the next cycle starts with context instead of archaeology.
Speed with an approval boundary.
Automation expands the working surface. Operators still own the strategy, brand judgment, and decisions that reach the market.
Selected output / cleared for publication
The work. Straight from the system.
Real creative from client accounts, shown with publication clearance. Demonstration tiles carry the DEMO chip; everything else came out of our production system for a real brand.

Common questions
Before we get in the room.
01What is AdsMatrix, and do we need to buy it?+
AdsMatrix is our proprietary creative-intelligence and production platform. We use it inside the engagement to connect brand context, reference patterns, asset and copy production, human review, and the next creative decision. It supports the operators doing the work; it does not replace strategy, judgment, or approval, and there is no separate platform procurement required for an In-House Marketers engagement.
02Are you an agency?+
Structurally, we are an outside partner. Operationally, we work much closer to the business: shared context, direct communication, named ownership, and decisions made across the growth system rather than inside channel silos.
03What does embedded mean in practice?+
It means we work inside the communication and decision rhythm of the company, stay close to leadership and operators, and own agreed outcomes without adding unnecessary account-management layers.
04Do we have to hire you for everything?+
No. The Embedded Growth Partnership is the flagship model, while focused engagements provide a practical way to start around paid growth, lifecycle, conversion, or growth systems.
