80% of Companies Are Missing Growth Targets & AI Results—We’ve Solved for Both

by Chad de Lisle September 18, 2025

Too many companies are falling short: Growth targets are being missed, and AI isn’t delivering real results.

At Disruptive Advertising, we’ve solved for both.

That’s why today, at the Silicon Slopes Hall of Fame Awards, we’re honored to be named a Finalist in the Marketing Category.

But this moment isn’t about the trophy. It’s about proof.

Proof that when you nail Vision + Strategy + Execution—and supercharge them with AI that actually works—your brand doesn’t just keep up. It leads.

🔑 Vision: Think Bigger, Scale Faster

Case: UTV Ecommerce Brand

In 2020, they were stuck at $1,100/month in recurring revenue. They had a great product, but growth was stagnant.

Nights spent asking questions like:

“Are we too late? What if someone outruns us?”

The problem? Their vision was too small. Playing it safe kept them stuck.

So, we reimagined their approach:

  • Aggressively scaled lead generation and conversion campaigns
  • Expanded their vision for what was actually possible

The results speak for themselves:

  • 96% YoY revenue growth (2024)
  • Website traffic sessions up 170%
  • Biggest month recorded: 819 new customers in May 2025

👉 Takeaway: Vision expands first. Growth follows.

🎯 Strategy: Stop Wasting Budget, Start Driving Results

Case: Precision Garage Door Service

They were burning $25K/month on Google Ads—buying branded clicks and counting leads that never became jobs. ROI stuck at 1.77x.

We created an optimized strategy to change the game:

  • Eliminated wasted ad spend on branded clicks
  • Focused on high-intent keywords to drive real value
  • Linked ad spend directly to booked jobs using ServiceTitan

In just 90 days:

  • ROI increased from 1.77x → 3.83x
  • Revenue grew by 55%
  • Booked + sold jobs rose 17%

👉 Takeaway: Strategy is the line between “marketing expense” and “profit engine.”

⚡ Execution: Stop Guessing, Start Growing

Case: Global SaaS PLM Leader

This enterprise brand had campaigns everywhere, attribution nowhere. The marketing team was flying blind.

We delivered clarity through:

  • Full-funnel tracking (Click → SQL → Closed Opps)
  • Offline conversion mapping to fill visibility gaps
  • Segmented reporting by channel and region for actionable insights

After 6 months:

  • Domestic opportunities grew from 24 → 43
  • International opportunities increased from 8 → 21
  • Brand SQLs more than doubled from 6 → 14

👉 Takeaway: Execution with clarity turns stress into momentum.

🤖 Where AI Fits In

Here’s the kicker: AI isn’t replacing Vision, Strategy, and Execution. It’s amplifying them.

With Disruptive IQ—your own Custom Brand GPT— we build an AI system that:

  • Thinks, writes, and analyzes like your brand
  • Keeps messaging authentic (not generic AI junk)
  • Speeds execution without sacrificing trust

The results? 

You stop missing targets. You start seeing real business impact from AI.

💡 The Invitation

80% of companies are still missing growth targets, and 80% aren’t seeing results from AI.

But here’s the truth: You don’t have to stay in the 80%.

At Disruptive, we exist to see and activate greatness. To flip the switch. To break the damn game so brands stop playing small.

Because when you align Vision + Strategy + Execution, and fuel it with AI that works— Authenticity Wins™. Every. Damn. Time.
