AV Marketing

What AV Marketing does

AV Marketing Inc. is a privately held, founder-operated Meta and Facebook ads agency incorporated in Canada and led by CEO Aashima Verma, who founded the firm in 2021. The firm specializes exclusively in paid social advertising on Meta platforms, serving premium, founder-led brands across three primary verticals — premium retail and e-commerce, high-value local service businesses (e.g., Montessori schools, med spas), and established niche coaches and thought leaders — with an explicit emphasis on female founders and women of colour entrepreneurs. Service delivery is remote-first, anchored in Toronto operationally, and capped at approximately 12 full-management clients per year to preserve a high-touch model.

The firm's product portfolio spans recurring retainers and one-time engagements. Recurring tiers include the First Class (4 campaigns/month, up to 20 edited ads), Business Class (1 campaign/month, up to 10 edited ads), and Economy (client-led creative) packages, alongside the RISE (5 campaigns/month, bi-weekly strategy calls) and BLOOM (2 campaigns/month) full-management programs. One-time offerings include the VIP Day ("Ads In A Day" at $997, capped at 2 per month) and the Triple-A Ad Account Audit + Consultation ($997). The underlying technology stack is off-the-shelf: Meta Ads Manager for campaign execution, Loom for client video reporting, ActiveCampaign for CRM and email, and Stripe/ThriveCart/PayPal for payment processing. No proprietary platforms, AI models, or APIs are disclosed.

The business model is service-based retainer revenue supplemented by higher-margin one-time engagements, with all sales conducted either through a direct discovery call (scalingsession.as.me) or via self-serve checkout on the company website. The team consists of six core members — founder/CEO Aashima Verma, Operations Manager Hilary van Gelder, Video Editor Hussein, Marketing Coordinator Sanskriti Pundir, Graphic Designer Melissa Huarcaya, and Personal Assistant Sarah — with additional specialists brought in on a project basis. The only disclosed external capital is a $10,000 grant from BMO for Women in October 2024; the firm is otherwise bootstrapped with no institutional investors, parent company, or acquisitions.
