Being a store owner is tough…

Most small to medium DTC ecommerce store owners are creating ads themselves in Canva. They don’t have budget to hire advertising agencies. They're wasting loads of time creating ads with no skills in copywriting or design. Advertising on social media is not getting cheaper. On top of this, store owners are juggling a thousand other tasks including customer service, shipping and accounting. It’s really tough for founders to create great ads that sell with limited time, budget and expertise.

You need loads of ad creative

Advertising works. The challenge is social media is crowded. Back in the day you could publish a dozen ads on Facebook and get sales. Now you have to publish 100’s of ad creative to find winners that sell. It's about volume now. One thing that can help with both speed and volume is AI.

Our story

Why I built Stirling for you

Hey there, I'm Craig. I’ve spent my career leading creative teams at world-class agencies like JWT and Publicis, and designing digital products for brands like ManyPets and Marks & Spencer. Over the years, I saw the same problem over and over: smaller brands getting priced out of great advertising. I built Stirling to level the playing field. By pairing decades of big-brand ad strategy with advanced AI, Stirling gives your business the exact same creative advantage that billion-dollar brands pay millions for.
