About Our Ad Calculators - Accurate Advertising Cost Tools

About AdCalculate – Digital Advertising Calculators & Tools

Who We Are – Real People Behind This Platform

We are AdCalculate – a team of passionate digital marketing professionals, data analysts, and software developers who came together with one common goal: to make advertising calculations simple and accessible for everyone. Our platform was born from real-world frustrations we experienced while working with businesses that struggled with advertising mathematics.

Our Founding Story – How It All Began

The idea for AdCalculate came to our founder, Michael Rodriguez, in early 2020. While working as a senior digital marketing consultant, Michael noticed a recurring pattern among his clients – from small local shops to established e-commerce brands. They were all spending significant money on digital advertising but had no clear understanding of their advertising metrics. Business owners could tell you they spent $5,000 on Facebook ads last month, but they couldn’t calculate their true cost per acquisition, understand their return on ad spend, or compare performance across different platforms effectively.

This knowledge gap was costing businesses real money. Michael saw clients:

Overpaying for underperforming ads
Missing optimization opportunities
Making decisions based on gut feelings rather than data
Struggling to justify their advertising budgets
Wasting time on manual calculations in spreadsheets

That’s when Michael decided to build a solution. He partnered with Sarah Johnson, a content marketing expert, and David Chen, a full-stack developer, to create what would become AdCalculate. We started in a small co-working space with a simple mission: build tools that would make advertising calculations accessible to everyone, regardless of their mathematical background or budget.
