NicNac AI Advertising is managed paid media with an AI workforce behind it: creative built by NicNac Imagine, copy variants drafted by our model seats, landing pages on our own stack, and campaigns run across Meta, Google, and YouTube — plus inside the AI answers themselves, on the surfaces that sell placements today. A person approves every campaign before a dollar moves.
Your ad budget pays the platforms at cost — we never mark up spend. Our price is a management fee, in plain print.
The AI surfaces are opening to advertisers one by one — and vendors are already selling placements that don't exist. Here is the board as of October 2026, from the platforms' own public information. We re-verify it before any client plan is sold, and every campaign we propose names its surfaces from this board — never from a pitch deck.
Ads now run inside Google's AI answers — above, below, and within the response — bought through eligible Google Ads campaigns (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, AI Max). For most local businesses, this is the new top of the search page.
Sponsored placements run inside ChatGPT — clearly labeled, visually separate from the answer, and sold self-serve through OpenAI's Ads Manager. Your ad sits next to the conversation your customers are already having — it never buys the answer itself.
Placements inside Copilot responses, generated from your Microsoft Advertising campaigns and opted in by default. Quietly strong for workday and business intent — the searches that happen at a desk, on a company machine.
Facebook and Instagram feeds and Reels, classic Search, YouTube, and Display — where most local ad budgets still do most of their work. The AI lives behind these: creative generation, variant testing, and weekly optimization arithmetic that used to take an agency team.
Perplexity stepped back from advertising — no placements are sold there today, whatever a vendor tells you. The only way into its answers is to be cited organically. That's a different product — our sister service, NicNac AI Visibility — and anyone who bundles the two into one promise is blurring a line that matters.
New in-answer formats are still rolling out and changing — deeper in-response placements on Google, and whatever ships next. We track them, and we will test them with your approval, inside your budget rules. What we will never do is sell you a format as guaranteed inventory before it exists.
The machinery is fast; the gates are human. Every campaign passes through the same six steps — and one of them is you, approving everything before it launches.
Tell us what you sell, who should see it, and the budget you're considering. We check fit first — the right surfaces for your business, and a budget that can honestly work. A campaign we can't run well is one we won't sell you.
Ad accounts are set up in your name, owned by you — audiences, history, and data stay yours if we ever part ways. Conversion tracking is wired before launch, and your spend flows from you to the platforms at cost.
NicNac Imagine builds the first creative set — imagery and formats sized per surface — while our model seats draft copy variants: several honest angles on the same offer, ready to test against each other instead of argued about.
The hard gate. Creative, copy, audiences, and budgets come to you in one approval pass — nothing launches unseen, nothing spends unapproved. This gate does not get automated away.
Checklist-driven go-live: budgets and caps set, schedules and service areas confirmed, United-States-only targeting where the campaign calls for it, tracking verified against a live click before we call it launched.
Weekly, budget shifts toward what the platform data says is working; tired variants retire and winners get fresh creative. Monthly, you get a plain-language report built from platform numbers only — including the months a number goes the wrong way.
What the AI does — and what it doesn't. The AI workforce builds creative variants, drafts copy, assembles audiences, and does the arithmetic of weekly optimization across every surface at once. People set the strategy, approve everything a customer will ever see, and read every report before it ships. Your account always has a person accountable for it. That's not a limitation of the system — it is the system: Human Augmentation, applied to advertising.
Before this machinery runs for a client, it runs for us. The first campaigns in the pipeline are NicNac Systems' own and the Nic Patterson Studio artist campaign. Their measured results — platform-reported, published as-is — will live in this section when they exist. Until then, this page claims machinery, packages, and process. Nothing else.
No client campaign has run through this service yet — so this page claims no client results, no return figures, and no testimonials. When there are some, they'll be published with the client's permission.
Your budget pays the platforms at cost. Our income is the management fee below — the whole model, in one line.
Campaign. Creative, copy, audiences, and budgets pass a human approval gate — yours and ours — before anything goes live.
Built from what the platforms themselves report — never from our own estimates — and published here for our own campaigns as soon as they have run.
We Run the Technology. You Run the Business.
NicNac Systems has run technology for businesses since 1997. AI Advertising is Human Augmentation applied to the loudest job in the building: the creative team, the copy desk, the media buyer, and the analyst — working as one system, conducted by a person who answers for it.
Every package is a monthly management fee — that's our whole price. Your advertising budget is separate, paid by you to the platforms at cost, and you can pause it any time. Packages differ by channels, creative cadence, and how deep the funnel goes.
Every package starts with a one-time Campaign Build — PROPOSED $249: accounts set up in your name, tracking wired, the first creative batch, and your landing page. Ad spend is not included in any fee above and is never marked up — it is your budget, paid to the platforms at cost. Prices are proposed pending final confirmation; we confirm scope and price personally before anything is billed, and nothing is charged today. No first-month discounts — not on this product, not on any NicNac product.
A person reads every intake. The first thing we'll do is check the fit — surfaces, budget, and whether we're the right shop — before we quote anything.

No. Your advertising budget pays the platforms — Meta, Google, OpenAI, Microsoft — at cost, from accounts in your name. NicNac's income is the management fee and the one-time build, printed on this page. A percentage-of-spend model pays an agency more when you spend more, whether it works or not; we would rather be paid the same either way and let the reports make the case.
You do. Accounts, audiences, creative history, and data are set up under your business. If the relationship ends, they go with you — no hostage arrangements, no "proprietary account structure" lock-in. We keep our workflow machinery; you keep everything your money built.
No — and be careful with anyone who does. What we guarantee is the process: real creative in your voice, everything approved by you before launch, budgets watched weekly, and monthly reporting built from platform numbers only. Advertising is a market, not a vending machine; our job is to run your side of it with discipline and show you the receipts.
The AI workforce builds creative variants, drafts copy, assembles audiences, and runs the weekly optimization arithmetic across every surface at once. People set strategy, approve everything a customer will see, and read every report before it ships. One named person is accountable for your account. If a campaign ever goes wrong, you will be talking to them — not to a dashboard.
As a starting shape: Launch clients usually consider $500–$1,500 a month in spend, Growth $1,500–$4,000, Dominance $4,000 and up — always your dollars, paid to the platforms at cost, pausable at any time. At intake we'll tell you honestly if your budget is too small for a surface to learn anything; a smaller honest plan beats a bigger hopeless one.
Nobody can — Perplexity does not sell placements today. Being cited in its answers is earned organically, and that's what NicNac AI Visibility does. Paid placements and organic citations are separate systems — buying one does not produce the other — which is why the Dominance package runs both as the distinct disciplines they are.
A person reads it, checks the fit, and confirms scope and price with you personally. Only then is anything billed. You'll get a reference number the moment your request lands, so we can both track the conversation.
Start with an intake — we'll tell you honestly which surfaces fit your business and your budget before quoting anything.
A person answers. That's rather the point.
