Brands served

Mark Richardson has spent 20 years in marketing — from selling tickets at the box office of Heritage Repertory Theatre in Charlottesville, VA in 2006 to managing multi-million dollar annual budgets for some of the most recognized brands in the country, such as Dun & Bradstreet, Pacific Life, and AEG Presents.

That path — from live events and arts marketing to enterprise digital strategy — gave Mark a perspective most agency leads don't have: what it actually feels like to be on the client side, accountable to a board, a CFO, or a season ticket base. Every campaign he runs is informed by that experience.

Today, Mark leads strategy for LA PPC Pros, working directly with clients across B2B, insurance, life sciences, entertainment, and ecommerce. No account managers between you and the person doing the work. Mark is a Google Ads and Google Analytics certified practitioner and a graduate of the University of Virginia.

Years at NetWise / D&B

Jessica Jacobson brings 27 years of hands-on marketing and customer service experience to LA PPC Pros. Her career spans organizations across financial services, cybersecurity, and data intelligence — including the Mortgage Bankers Association of NJ & PA, Authentium, and LexisNexis, where she spent six years building and executing multi-channel campaigns for one of the world's largest legal and data intelligence companies. Most recently, she spent eleven years at NetWise, a B2B data startup that was ultimately acquired by Dun & Bradstreet.

Her specialty is audience development: the discipline of finding the right people, reaching them through the right channels, and converting them through a coordinated mix of email, paid ads, organic content, and SEO. She has deep experience in ecommerce marketing and account-based marketing (ABM) — building the kind of audience infrastructure that makes every campaign work harder over time, whether you're selling direct-to-consumer or targeting a precise list of enterprise accounts.

Jessica also brings deep CRM fluency across HubSpot, Klaviyo, Beehiiv, and Salesforce, and a client-side reporting background that includes P&L ownership and QBR creation. She knows what executives actually need to see — and how to present performance in a way that drives decisions, not just discussions. Jessica is a graduate of Binghamton University.

How we work

Direct access. No layers. Real accountability.

01

You work with Mark directly

There's no account manager relaying messages between you and the strategist. When you have a question, you get the person who built your campaigns.

02

Flat-rate pricing, no surprises

Pricing is platform- and ad spend dependent. No percentage-of-spend fees that grow as your budget grows. Your success doesn't cost you more.

03

LA-rooted, nationally capable

Based in Burbank, we know the LA market — its industries, its competition, its cost-per-click landscape. And we've run campaigns in every major US market.

04

Data-first, always

Every recommendation is backed by data — from keyword research to bid strategy to creative testing. Gut feel doesn't scale. Structured testing does.
