who we are

Built to grow private business.

Built to grow private business. Founded in July 2015, Saint Paul Agency partners with privately held and family-owned businesses to build real revenue through strategic advertising. We’re a real team, not a faceless holding company, and we hold ourselves accountable to your bottom line.

We support 50+ clients every month across automotive, restaurants, home services, nonprofits, and retail. Single-location owners, multi-state operators, all of them betting their advertising budget should work harder than a big-agency retainer.

We’re a Google Premier Partner (top 3% worldwide), a Meta Marketing Partner, and the team that built FLOYD, our own Demand Side Platform for programmatic advertising across Connected TV, streaming audio, and premium display.

What Drives Us

Our core values.

01

Accountability

We don’t hide behind vanity metrics. Every campaign is measured against your actual business growth.

02

Transparency

Clear reporting. No hidden fees. You always know where your money goes and what it returns.

03

Partnership

We’re not a vendor. We embed ourselves in your goals and treat your success as our own.

04

Innovation

We built our own DSP instead of renting someone else’s. We stay ahead of platform changes so your budget works harder, not the agency’s margin.
