Hi everyone! 👋 We’re Ryan & Stacia, founders of Authoritie.io

Hi! We’re Ryan & Stacia, husband and wife team, partners in crime, and co-founders of Authoritie - The easiest, most founder-friendly way for business owners to run expert-level ads themselves, in seconds!

For the past 15 years, we’ve run a 7-figure digital marketing and ad agency, working with hundreds of clients - from scrappy startups to big brands - and have made our clients over $500 million in revenue.

But one thing we kept seeing again and again:

• Many great brands didn’t have the budget for a full-service agency like ours, but also couldn’t afford the trial-and-error costs of learning ads alone.

• Small business owners wanted to run their own ads, but the ad platforms felt overwhelming and very technical.

• The end result? Frustration, wasted ad spend, and too many amazing businesses giving up on paid ads before they ever had a fair shot.

We knew there had to be a better way.

That’s why we created Authoritie. A simpler, more affordable way for founders, coaches, small businesses, and creators to launch and manage paid ads without needing to be tech experts (or shell out agency-level retainers).

It’s been quite the journey building this! From years of seeing the pain firsthand -> to designing & developing a tool that finally makes ads feel approachable. We’re about to go live on Product Hunt next week 🎉 and wanted to introduce ourselves here first, share a bit of our story, and connect with other makers who’ve been on similar paths.

Would love to hear from you: if you’ve ever tried running ads yourself, what’s been the most frustrating part?

- Ryan & Stacia
