Disruptive Advertising Review (2026): Services, Proof and Score

Disruptive Advertising is a paid media agency in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Jacob Baadsgaard founded it and serves as CEO. The company's LinkedIn page gives 2012 as its founding year, and the Utah record shown on its Clutch profile dates Disruptive Advertising Inc. to March 2013. The homepage lists more than 160 employees, more than 2,000 client engagements, and over $450 million in yearly ad spend under management. Other named leaders include Chad de Lisle, VP of Marketing, Jason Gause, VP of Sales, and Adam Haining, Chief Technology Officer. It sells Google, Microsoft, YouTube, and Amazon ads, paid social, landing page testing, email, SEO, and analytics.

Its strongest named case study covers Matterport. Disruptive reports that paid search return on ad spend rose from 8x to 15x and free sign-ups rose 235% year over year. Prime Day revenue hit $1.88 million against a $1 million goal. The page gives no years. Matterport's own Clutch review reports the same 235% rise in sign-ups. A Crossover Symmetry case study claims a 158% rise in monthly Facebook ad revenue in three months. Its own figures, $38,444 in January and $60,887 in April, show a 58% rise, and no year is given. Most other entries on the results page carry industry labels instead of client names. All of these figures are self-reported. The outside record is large: 371 Clutch reviews with a 4.8 average, many of them citing results.

Disruptive assigns each client a team. The homepage says that team draws on industry specialists and complementary experts, but it does not say how senior they are or name account leads. The agency publishes a new-client timeline. Onboarding starts on day one, clients meet their team three to five days after signing, a check-in follows in week two, and a strategy workshop comes near day 30. Ongoing work then runs in 90-day cycles. The homepage promises qualifying brands measurable growth within 90 days or their money back, with no long-term contracts.

Disruptive lists no AI search or GEO service on its service pages. Its SEO page mentions AI-driven analytics without describing a method. In April 2026, VP of Marketing Chad de Lisle published a list of top GEO agencies that ranks Disruptive first. The post credits the firm with entity authority work and proprietary LLM tracking tools, but it does not explain how those tools work or what they measure. The site publishes no client results for visibility in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews.

The main gaps are dated proof and AI search depth. Most published results lack years, one headline figure does not match its own numbers, and the AI search claims rest on a self-published ranking. Disruptive publishes no prices. Clutch lists a $5,000 minimum project and rates of $150 to $199 an hour. The 90-day guarantee covers only qualifying brands, and the site does not define them. Before signing, ask who will handle your account each day and how senior they are. Ask which brands qualify for the guarantee, what counts as measurable growth, and what notice ends the contract.
