How it works (AI CMO / automated approach)

How it works

(AI CMO / automated approach)

1. Get winning ads daily

Icon finds winning ad concepts by scanning 1M+ data points like competitor ads, customer reviews, social media trends, ad account performance, & more.

2. Review auto-generated ads

AI CMO ads are 50-99% complete. Use Kanva (static editor) & AdCut (video editor) to edit them if needed.

3. Download ads at $0.99/ad

Download or launch ads into your ad accounts with 1 click.

4. Enable Autopilot (optional)

Let Icon do the work 24/7 (if you're liking all the ads).

How it works (manual / assisted approach)

How it works

(manual / assisted approach)

1. Turn your assets into legos

Icon looks at your asset library & tags video scenes + images (e.g. "unboxing"). Tagged assets are lego blocks for making ads.

3. Edit with Kanva & AdCut

Use Kanva & AdCut to edit your 0-99% complete AdGPT ads if needed.

4. Replace $2K-$30K/mo

Combine 12 products into 1 for just $39+/mo (replaces $2K-$30K/mo).

AdGPT Workflows

Story

Kennan Davison

CEO, Founder

Dropout at 19. Solo-founded Skio ($15M+ ARR & profitable, $8M seed).

Previously: Pinterest, Hulu, W+K (ad agency), Top 200 North America League of Legends (out of 10M+ people), Y Combinator S20 (solo founder), Columbia (transfer, dropout).

Hi, I'm Kennan!

Thank you for reading this. My life has been a journey full of ups & downs & I’m grateful to be here.

I grew up finding school extremely boring & slept through most of my classes. If I'm being real, no one thought I'd go anywhere (was Top 200 North America out of 10M+ people in League of Legends though).

Everything changed when I was 18: I had a big wakeup call & had to start supporting myself. Instead of getting a college experience like my friends, I had to live with my parents to save money.

This triggered me in a good way & I worked 100-hour weeks until I destroyed coding interviews. Soon after, I dropped out to join Pinterest at 19.

After being a minion at Pinterest, I quit cold turkey & started my 1st company, Skio. I fluked into Y Combinator as a solo founder & completely failed during the batch. Thankfully, pivoting worked well ($15M+ ARR & profitable).

But it’s not over yet. I have a massive chip on my shoulder that I want to fix with Icon.

I know I’m not supposed to say this publicly, but I want to make Icon the greatest company of all time.

I want to deliver insane value to our customers.
I want to create generational wealth for my team & investors.
I want to break the $0 to $100M ARR world record.

I want to win so bad that I'm sacrificing my life working 7 days a week for it. I'd even eat dog poop if it meant winning.

We're 2 months in & have lots to live up to. Feel free to give feedback anytime at kennan@icon.com.
