Over 1 billion spent on Meta
How Nowadays Went from Unable to Advertise to Scaling a 9-Figure Paid Acquisition Channel
From day one to category leader, AGS has been the only agency behind Nowadays’ paid growth.

Nowadays couldn’t run Meta ads. Category restrictions made Meta Platforms effectively off limits, leaving no scalable acquisition channel. We got them live, built the entire system from scratch, and scaled it into a dominant growth engine. Today, they’re not just in the category, they’re leading it.

The Challenge:

  1. Couldn’t advertise on Meta due to compliance constraints

  2. High risk of rejections and account shutdowns

  3. No paid acquisition engine

This was a market access problem. Growth was capped before it started.

Our Approach:

We built the infrastructure to make Meta viable.

  1. Deployed AGS Edge to enable compliant ad delivery

  2. Built account systems designed to get live and stay live

  3. Focused on: access → stability → scale

No reliance on one campaign, offer, or creative angle, the edge was the system itself.

The Results:

What You Can Learn From
Here are the key takeaways that drove meaningful growth.
Access > Optimization
If you can’t advertise, nothing else matters. Solving access unlocks everything downstream.
Compliance as a Growth Lever:
In restricted categories, staying live is the advantage — not just performance.

Infrastructure Wins Over Tactics
This wasn’t driven by one campaign or offer. The system enabled scale.
