We run our own brands in the US
We started small, with our own inventory and our own money on the line. We know where a budget leaks, what to cut, and how to make a dollar of marketing do the work of ten.
Brand owners first · Agency second
We are brand owners. Our founder leads every project.
We built our own brands in the US on small budgets, using organic AI content to earn the exposure we couldn’t afford to buy. We know how hard it is to find a partner you can trust, so the person who started the company leads your project personally.

Founder / CEO
Shaolong Lin
Shaolong is a brand owner first. He graduated top of his class from Columbia University and has spent years bridging the gap between Chinese manufacturing and American buyers, so he understands the cross-cultural differences on both sides of a partnership.
He leads every project personally rather than handing it to an account team. That keeps the quality high, but it limits how many brands we can take on at once, which is why we are selective about the brands we work with.
Every partnership is reviewed against the product, category, supply chain, market, and unit economics before an operating model is proposed.

Why us
Most agencies sell advice they’ve never paid for. We sell what worked for us.
Organic AI content, made in-house
The short-form videos and TV commercials on our homepage were created by our own team, for our own brands and our partners’. No ad budget behind them, just content people chose to watch.
Online is not the endpoint
We hold strong offline retail relationships, from big-box chains like Target and Walmart to independent mom-and-pop stores. We have put partner brands on those shelves, and we bring those doors to yours.

How we use AI
Organic AI content. Human judgment.
We grew our own brands with organic AI content, and we use the same tools for partner brands: in production for repeatable creative, listing, and analytics tasks, always under human review.
Humans own judgment
Positioning, creative direction, growth decisions, partnerships, quality control, and accountability remain with the human team.
Tools speed up execution
AI tools support structured, repeatable work so the team can move faster without giving up review or responsibility.
