Who We Are

Direct Agents is not a traditional agency. We are an elite team of builders and operators—growth strategists,media architects, and creative thinkers—who partner with ambitious brands to drive measurable revenue growth.

We operate at the intersection of technology, media, and strategy—where AI meets human expertise to produce outcomes that neither can achieve alone. Our client roster includes brands like Tennis Channel, Marvel, NYSE, Morgan Stanley, Prologis, and DistroKid.

Location: This is a contract, remote position.
