ClickToast Digital Advertising

What ClickToast Digital Advertising does

ClickToast Digital Advertising is a privately held digital advertising agency founded in 2011 by Dana Pillsbury and headquartered in Fort Mill, SC with a second office in Portland, ME. The firm operates with 1-10 employees and delivers managed digital advertising services across Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram), Microsoft Advertising, LinkedIn Ads, Amazon Ads, Pinterest Ads, and TikTok Ads, supported by in-house image and video creative production and performance reporting capabilities.

The agency's offering is organized around four solution tracks: ClickToast Local (local service businesses), ClickToast Ecom (ecommerce brands), ClickToast Leads (B2B and lead-generation companies), and ClickToast Advisor (consulting for companies spending over $250k/year on advertising with internal or external teams). Its core technology stack consists of the major paid media platforms themselves rather than proprietary software; the firm's differentiator is the integration layer — strategy, creative, conversion tracking, and reporting — assembled by senior strategists averaging 11+ years of hands-on experience who have collectively managed hundreds of millions in ad spend. ClickToast holds Google Premier Partner status (top 3% in the US for 2025 and 2026), Meta Partner status, and Microsoft Partner status.

The business model is professional services / managed services, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through ongoing campaign management fees and, increasingly, advisory retainers under the Advisor tier. Go-to-market is direct sales via a structured multi-step intake form that qualifies prospects by role, business type, growth focus, current situation, and timeline, targeting local service SMBs, ecommerce brands, and lead-generation companies. Client retention is reported at 3x the industry average. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-led with no disclosed external investment or institutional ownership.
