Invest in a digital marketing disruptor

April 16, 2025

The Ad Industry just hit $1.1 trillion, but ROI still isn’t adding up


Marketers are spending more than ever. In 2025, global ad spend is set to top $1.1 trillion with more than 75 percent of that flowing into digital and influencer campaigns. It’s a milestone for the industry. But the problem is that performance hasn’t kept pace.

Despite record-breaking budgets, most brands are struggling to turn spend into real, measurable results. Campaigns go live, dollars go out the door, and ROI stays flat. McKinsey reports that AI could unlock $463 billion in annual marketing value. But there’s a catch.

Most brands don’t need more ad tools. They need smarter ones.

The digital advertising industry needed disrupting

Marketers today are overwhelmed with content, platforms, and creators, but under-equipped to make sense of what’s actually working. Creative gets lost in a sea of sameness. And campaign success is often based more on gut than data.

RAD Intel, an AI marketing platform that’s been more than a decade in the making, changes that. It gives marketing teams real-time clarity into what’s driving performance, so they can stop guessing and start scaling what works. It now helps some of the world’s top brands understand what content works, why it works, and what to do next, even before a dollar is spent.

Whether it’s a TikTok influencer, a YouTube pre-roll, a national TV spot, or an in-store activation, RAD analyzes real-time signals to determine what’s resonating and who it’s resonating with. Then, it shows brands how to double down on the messages that drive real impact.

The creator economy is booming, but most brands are still relying on likes, shares, and other outdated metrics to gauge success. As influencer and content budgets continue to surge, brands need more than surface-level signals.

RAD Intel helps brands identify who and what actually moves the needle. Their AI-driven platform analyzes emotional tone, behavioral patterns, and audience response in real time, then turns those insights into action. 

And, their performance numbers speak for themselves. For Hasbro’s Hero Quest relaunch, RAD helped reduce traditional marketing agency fees by 85%, increase creator bookings by 60%, and activate the full campaign in just 18 days, with top-performing content outperforming benchmarks by 130%.

Who is RAD Intel?


RAD Intel was founded by CEO Jeremy Barnett and President Bradley Silver, two leaders who’ve worked on both sides of the marketing equation. Jeremy has launched and scaled consumer brands. Bradley has built enterprise-grade AI platforms. And both saw the same problem over and over in the industry, companies wasting money on advertising.

Despite millions poured into media and content, there was no clear way to know what was actually working. Too many teams were flying blind, relying on vanity metrics and post-campaign reporting. Campaigns were being approved on instinct, not insight. It wasn’t just inefficient. It was expensive.

They knew the problem wasn’t a lack of data, but a lack of direction. Marketers didn’t need more charts after the fact. They needed clarity before anything went live. That meant building a solution that could turn real-time audience conversations into timely, creative guidance. 

They wanted to build a platform that could answer the big question every brand was asking - will this campaign actually work? Marketers need answers that can turn real-time audience signals into smart creative choices before a single dollar is spent. So they built a company with a product that could tell companies what will land, who it will resonate with, and how to double down on what works.

RAD Intel is a platform built to bring clarity and confidence to one of the most unpredictable parts of any business. And today, RAD is helping brands like Hasbro, Omnicom, Skechers, and Sephora treat marketing not as a gamble, but as a growth engine.

Why invest in RAD Intel?


RAD Intel has partnerships with a number of Fortune 1000 Companies like Skechers (SKX), Hasbro (HAS), Sweetgreen (SG), Omnicom (OMC), MGM Resorts (MGM), and Athleta (Gap Inc. - GPS), all of whom are leveraging RAD to sharpen creative strategy and optimize results. They also work with category leaders like Sephora, Fenty Beauty, and Glossier - the brands that define influence in the modern beauty economy, where RAD is fast becoming the standard for how content and creators are chosen, scaled, and measured.

These brands are using RAD to guide everything from influencer strategy and messaging to creative briefs and media planning. It’s becoming core infrastructure inside some of the world’s most recognized marketing organizations.

That’s why RAD’s valuation has grown 1600 percent over the past four years—from $5 million to $85 million.* And the momentum isn’t slowing. In Q1 of 2025 alone, RAD doubled its total 2024 sales contracts, and while major tech stocks fell, RAD Intel surged. Its share price climbed 20 percent while the NASDAQ dropped nearly 18 percent.


This level of traction is attracting serious attention. RAD Intel is backed by Fidelity Ventures, and insiders from Google, Meta, Amazon, and YouTube. These are major investors who recognize the value of RAD’s AI-driven platform and its potential to transform how modern brands connect, convert, and grow.

Adobe, the global leader in creative marketing software, also backed RAD Intel through its Design Fund, a signal that RAD isn’t just solving a marketing problem, it’s reshaping how creativity meets performance. Their investment reflects confidence in RAD’s ability to align content, audience, and ROI before a single ad runs.

These big names aren’t alone, as over 6,000 individual investors have already joined the pre-IPO round, fueling a groundswell of conviction that RAD is building the next essential platform in modern marketing.

RAD Intel has also been featured in top-tier media outlets including Fast Company, VentureBeat, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Rolling Stone, becoming one of the most relevant, respected voices shaping the future of marketing.

“RAD Intel is redefining how brands connect with consumers. Their use of AI and real-time content intelligence is exactly what this industry needs. As someone who's worked across beauty, luxury, and consumer goods for nearly two decades, I’ve seen a lot of platforms—this one stands out.” - Maya Kosovalic, VP of Digital Innovation at L’Oréal, who has spent nearly two decades driving performance across beauty, luxury, and packaged goods.

RAD Intel has traction. It has technology. It has trust from some of the most recognizable brands in the world. And right now, shares are still available at $0.60.

RAD Intel is delivering unmatched results for clients and achieving unprecedented demand from brands that are done wasting dollars on guesswork.

This is your moment to invest in an AI company that is delivering measurable, enterprise-grade results in a trillion-dollar industry long overdue for disruption.
