Kres.

San Francisco, United States · 31 people

Kres is a growth agency rebuilt around Ted, an operating system trained over years on how we make calls on ad accounts. Every client gets their own pod: strategy, creative, media buying, research, and measurement, each run by specialist agents and held to the same hard rules. Every ad clears five independent reviews before you see it. Your account is read every day against an evidence bar we agree on in week one. The agents talk to you in Slack like a real team, and nothing goes live without your yes. Execution is close to solved. What's left is ideas and judgment, and that's what a human operator brings to every budget move, scale call, and kill decision. How to work with us: The Audit. Free. We take your account apart in a week: attribution, wasted spend, funnel leaks, and a ranked list of exactly what to fix. It's yours whether we work together or not. The Growth Pod. We run it, every day, with you approving what ships. The Launch Sprint. Ninety days for newer or smaller accounts. Build, tracking, kill rules, and three creative cycles, then it becomes a pod or it ends. Kres Install. We build the system inside your company, wired to your own accounts, then train your operator and hand over the keys. Meta and Google. DM us for the free audit.
