What Level Up Digital does

Level Up Digital is a privately held performance marketing agency founded in 2017 by Andrew Hutton and headquartered in San Diego, California (note: the firmographic record lists Truckee as city, but the company website and multiple internal sources consistently cite San Diego as the operating base, which is treated as the authoritative figure). The firm operates as a boutique professional services practice with a headcount in the 1-10 range, led by founder Andrew Hutton and Creative Director Chase Facer, and serves clients nationally across the United States. The agency specializes in paid digital advertising for considered-purchase and high-value customer segments, with documented strength in luxury real estate and private communities, B2B SaaS, senior living and memory care, and select healthcare and nonprofit verticals.

The firm's core product portfolio consists of four integrated offerings: Google Ads management (Search, Shopping, Performance Max), Meta Ads management (Facebook and Instagram), ad creative services, and landing page design, delivered under a documented three-phase Growth-Driven Methodology (Research, Implementation, Test and Optimize). Underlying technology is built on standard martech infrastructure, primarily Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot CRM and marketing automation, Zapier for audience syncing, and Unbounce for A/B testing. Reported performance benchmarks include a 12:1 average return on ad spend, a 60% average cost-per-acquisition reduction, and a 5.0 Clutch rating across 12 verified reviews. The agency is a certified Google Partner and HubSpot Growth-Driven Design agency.

Level Up Digital monetizes through professional services retainers and project-based engagements priced via custom proposals, with multi-year contracts noted in pricing disclosures. Go-to-market combines direct outreach to enterprise clients (e.g., Santa Lucia Preserve, Artis Senior Living across 26 communities, Elegance Senior Living across 27 locations) and a channel partner program that positions the agency as a white-label digital campaign execution layer for creative and web development firms. Named client relationships include Quimbee (eight-year engagement, 2017-2025, grown from 200,000 to 800,000+ users), Rentec Direct (10X Facebook ROAS, 60%+ CPA reduction), IdeaScale ($2M+ sales pipeline, 13X ROAS), and Any Length Retreat, among others. The company has raised no external funding, has no parent entity, and ownership remains concentrated with the founders.
