Brian J. Stewart

I train AI Ad Operators.

For owners and marketers who run their ads.

4 exits and 11 M&A transactions, 1,200+ ad accounts, and $15B in sales across my own brands and leadership roles, including APMEX.

An AI Ad Operator is an owner or marketer who briefs AI agents trained on their own business, then approves every ad before a dollar is spent.

Nothing runs until I say yes

My AI agents draft the work and put it on my desk, beside what the platforms recommend. I approve or decline each one, and only what I approve goes anywhere near an ad account.
