About Us
People focused. Data driven.
Our in-house team is comprised of
Amazon advertising experts, visionaries, number crunchers, investigators and experimenters.
Our collaborative workspace sparks ideas, the development of strategies and encourages feedback to be shared and molded into a well-rounded approach for our clients.
Joe Shelerud and Matt Wiklund are the co-founders of Ad Advance, a digital ad agency specializing in Amazon advertising.
Joe started selling on Amazon back in 2014. By nature, he loves to dig into data when it comes to strategy. After looking into optimizing his own numbers, Joe discovered that his approach was more advanced than others he was connecting with. He thought there might be a need for other sellers to find the next level of support with their ads as well.

Matt Wiklund
Co-founder & CTO
Joe got in touch with Matt, who he worked with at a previous job. Matt looked at what Joe was doing with his ads and his optimization strategy and had a ton of great ideas on how he could improve his approach. Things rapidly progressed from there.
Ad Advance has been helping ecommerce brands advertise on Amazon since 2017. We now offer full service Sponsored Ads and DSP management in-house.
