AdsGency, a San Francisco-based advertising technology company, has raised $12 million in seed funding to accelerate the development of its autonomous advertising platform, which leverages AI agents to run an organization’s entire paid marketing workflow. XYZ Venture Capital led the round with participation from Streamlined Ventures, HF0, Hat-Trick Capital, and other investors. The company plans to use the funds to expand its engineering team and meet rapidly increasing market demand.
Positioned as the industry’s first agentic ad agency, AdsGency offers a comprehensive AI-powered system that automates every stage of performance marketing—from creative strategy and competitive analysis to ad creation, cross-channel placement, performance tracking, and optimization. The platform has demonstrated an average 8x return on ad spend (ROAS) for its clients and drastically reduces campaign execution time from weeks to hours or minutes.
AdsGency’s platform serves clients across multiple sectors, including TAL Education, which achieved 3x ROAS and 650 percent revenue growth using the platform; Halliday, which reported $3.3 million in revenue with a 13x ROAS; Pika, which reduced its cost per install by 5x; and Mobvoi, which realized over 10x profit growth. The company’s approach challenges the traditional advertising agency model by combining automation, analytics, and AI-driven strategy in a single platform.
The global digital advertising market, worth approximately $400 billion, remains fragmented across numerous software and service providers. Brands often rely on different tools for Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok, Reddit, and Pinterest, alongside separate platforms for analytics, attribution, and creative production. This complexity increases costs and reduces visibility into what drives performance. AdsGency eliminates these inefficiencies by consolidating the advertising stack into a unified, intelligent system that delivers actionable insights in real time.
AdsGency’s proprietary orchestration system uses large language models and AI agents to automate campaign strategy, content creation, ad placement, and optimization. Its platform integrates with major advertising networks such as TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, and Google, as well as with enterprise tools like Salesforce and Snowflake. The system allows brands to achieve precise targeting, cross-channel optimization, and deeper insights into how their ad spend translates to revenue.
The company’s technical foundation includes an in-house operating system hosting multiple large language models and proprietary embeddings customized for specific industries and ad formats. By combining first- and third-party data with zero-party data generated on its platform, AdsGency continuously improves campaign performance and return on investment over time, all without requiring technical expertise from users.
AdsGency was founded by Bolbi Liu, an engineer, research scientist, and product leader who previously built advertising platforms for DiDi and AWS. Those internal systems generated hundreds of millions in incremental revenue and became core infrastructure for global marketing operations. At AdsGency, Liu is applying those learnings to create an autonomous, scalable solution for advertisers across all industries.
The company has experienced rapid growth driven entirely by referrals, word-of-mouth, and community adoption. AdsGency’s customers span North America, Asia, and Europe, reflecting the global appetite for AI-powered advertising technology. With its recent funding, the company aims to expand product capabilities, strengthen its technical foundation, and continue redefining how brands approach digital marketing in the AI era.
KEY QUOTES:
“We moved on from traditional agencies to AdsGency. After working together for just three months, we decided to increase our ad budget on the platform by 10x because we’ve experienced such incredible results – way beyond what we saw with our prior agency.”
Michael Wang, Chief Marketing Officer, Mobvoi
“We’re not just another content generation platform. Even the most beautiful 8K video ad won’t work if your strategy, targeting, and execution are a miss. We built AdsGency to automate and connect the pieces of the puzzle so that advertisers can access the precision, insights, and speed needed for unmatched ROI. Think Cursor for advertising.”
“AdsGency is not a prompt machine or GPT wrapper. Everything recommended and generated by AdsGency is based on layers of data collection and analysis to ensure that campaigns are not just immediately successful but increasingly successful over time, without requiring any technical skills from our users. AdsGency takes care of it all.”
Bolbi Liu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, AdsGency
“AdsGency is an emerging giant, even among the tech giants like Google and Meta, because it brings all of the pieces together, rather than being boxed into a single platform. This enables users to capitalize on highly effective cross-channel strategies driven by data. It is clear to us that AdsGency is at the forefront of a new ad network driven by LLMs and agents. AdsGency will make it effortless for brands to communicate directly with their customers.”
“There is no one as tough or who moves as fast as Bolbi. That is apparent by all that she has accomplished not only in her previous work but already with AdsGency. A $12 million seed is rare, but in this case, it is warranted. The founder-market fit is as close to perfect as one can find, and the traction is already there. AdsGency has shown such impressive growth because it really is the first functional alternative to bloated ad stacks.”
