IJM Collective is a one-person media buying agency run by Ian McKowen out of Minnesota. One niche. One focus. One person accountable for your results.
Most marketing agencies spread themselves thin — taking on restaurants, law firms, dentists, e-commerce stores, and everything in between. That approach means shallow knowledge and average results for every client.
IJM Collective takes the opposite position. Car detailing is a market that converts exceptionally well on paid social — before/after transformations, local targeting, visual creative — but most detailing shops have no idea how to run ads that actually make money.
That's the gap IJM Collective exists to close. Deep knowledge of one industry, applied to every client we take on. The same kill/scale framework, the same creative system, the same optimization process — refined specifically for the detailing market.
Based in Minnesota. Working with detailing businesses across the country.
Not a manifesto. Just the things that actually shape how the work gets done.
We don't argue about what we think will work. We test it, read the numbers, and let the market decide.
Every day without optimized campaigns is money left on the table. We move fast and adjust faster.
Good numbers and bad numbers. You see both. No creative math, no hiding behind reach or impressions.
