Advertising remains broken

Advertising has changed a lot over the past two decades, but for many businesses trying to grow, it’s still broken.

I’ve spent part of my career working in advertising. When I created Performance Max at Google, I was convinced we were taking a major step forward, simplifying complexity through automation and focusing on real outcomes rather than vanity metrics like clicks or impressions.

But even then, something was missing.

Traditional Advertising Systems

Advertising systems were built around deterministic feedback loops, clicks and conversions. Someone sees an ad, takes an action, and the algorithm learns. It works beautifully when you’re selling shoes online, but for most businesses, that model falls short.

Only a small percentage of customers ever convert, and it often takes weeks for that to happen. The learning loop is slow and thin, and it’s built entirely around web signals that represent a fraction of a company’s reality.

Because the truth is, for most businesses, growth doesn’t happen only on the web. It happens through calls, quotes, appointments, and loyalty programs; through the messy, human, offline world that digital advertising doesn’t really see.

That’s when it clicked for me: we were optimizing based on thin data (but scalable).

The Real Growth Engine Is the CRM

Every business I’ve worked with had the same hidden treasure: their CRM. That’s where the real story of growth lives; where sales track conversations, where relationships are built, and where revenue actually shows up.

The CRM isn’t just a database; it’s the beating heart of business outcomes. It holds the truth that ad platforms can’t see.

I began to imagine a world where marketing didn’t have to wait weeks for deterministic signals like purchases. What if the system could learn faster? What if it could predict who was likely to convert using CRM signals, and optimize before the purchase ever happened?

That was the seed that grew into Scowtt.

Building Scowtt: A Bridge Between Marketing and Sales

When we started Scowtt, the idea was simple: the biggest opportunity in growth isn’t about more automation, it’s about building a better bridge between Marketing and Sales.

Marketing and Sales have lived in separate universes for too long. Marketing optimizes for attention. Sales optimizes for revenue. Each speaks a different language.

Scowtt connects them through one shared language: predictive value.

We designed Scowtt to bring together everything learned about growth systems, advertising, and automation, but rebuilt around CRM intelligence.

From Lead Generation to Universal Growth

When we started Scowtt, our initial focus was on solving the challenge of lead generation, especially for businesses where a purchase isn’t completed online. For industries like real estate, financial services, or automotive, growth depends on offline engagements: calls, quotes, appointments, and conversations that never make it into traditional web analytics.

But as we built Scowtt, something new emerged.

We realized we had created a conversion model that applies to every business rich in CRM signals. Advertising has been patching performance for too long, optimizing for web data that captures only a fragment of reality. Businesses that collect rich customer data in their CRMs have been underserved by systems built for clicks and site visits.

Scowtt changes that.

By learning directly from CRM signals, Scowtt doesn’t just help generate leads, it redefines how performance is measured and optimized. What began as a solution for lead-driven businesses evolved into a predictive engine that applies across industries: eCommerce, Financial Services, Automotive, Travel, and beyond.

Scowtt didn’t just fix lead generation, it unlocked a new model for growth.

What Scowtt Does Differently

Scowtt connects the web and the CRM into one continuous growth loop. We do it through three layers that work together:

A. Predictive Models
We built proprietary sequential models that learn directly from CRM data, identifying which customers are likely to buy, who’s coming back, and where the next opportunity lives.

B. AI Marketing
We push those predictions back into the major ad platforms (Google, Meta, TikTok), transforming the way automated campaigns bid and target. The result? Faster, smarter optimization that happens before the sale, not after.

C. Agentic AI for Sales
Finally, Scowtt’s AI Agents bring predictive intelligence into the sales conversation itself. These agents don’t just talk — they sell. They reach out, follow up, and help close the loop between marketing and actual outcomes.

Together, these systems turn CRM data into predictive fuel, powering both Marketing and Sales in real time.

The Lesson: Automation Alone Isn’t Growth

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that automation without intelligence doesn’t create growth, it just creates activity.

Most CRMs record what happened. Most ad systems react to what already occurred. But predictive intelligence changes the equation. It gives businesses the ability to act on what will happen next.

That’s the core of Scowtt’s vision: to turn hindsight into foresight.

The Future Is Predictive

Scowtt exists because growth shouldn’t be reactive — it should be predictive.

We’re helping companies move beyond proxies and pixels, toward outcomes that reflect real value. By unifying CRM, marketing, and AI into one connected operating system, Scowtt helps businesses grow intelligently — not by guessing, but by knowing.

That’s why Scowtt was created. Because growth deserves more than impressions and clicks. It deserves intelligence, connection, and outcomes that last.
