We’re Sara and Hannah. We run Privy Clear. We started this company because every agency we’d ever seen was great at spending money and terrible at proving it worked. So we built the one we wish existed.
You know the Apple story. Two guys. A garage. A dream.
Ours is better.
We started Privy Clear the way most businesses probably shouldn’t start, which is to say we had no business plan and only invested $50 each. What we did have was Sara’s guest bedroom and two Wayfair desks, two laptops, a borderline obsessive need to understand how things work, and the kind of stubbornness that only makes sense in hindsight when it works out.
We both got thrown into digital marketing the hard way. Hannah was wearing every hat at a startup and got handed paid advertising like it was just another task and not a rabbit hole. Sara was deep in the same world, solving the same problems from a different seat. We were both doing the work, reading the Reddit threads at two in the morning because our brains wouldn’t shut off, auditing keyword performance between everything else life was throwing at us. Hannah was nursing her newborn while optimizing ad accounts. We were pouring all of this effort into other people’s businesses and making twenty dollars an hour to do it.
We saw an opportunity.
Every search engine, every social platform, every pixel firing on every website you have ever visited is a program built on lines and lines of code, and when people throw around words like SEO and conversion tracking and ad optimization, what they’re really talking about are strategies designed to work the program.
We taught ourselves the mechanics. Together. We learned to read the code, to reverse engineer the logic behind how Google and Meta and AI platforms decide who sees what and when and why, and that difference between knowing the strategy and understanding the program underneath it is the entire reason Privy Clear exists.
We worked two full-time jobs each for over a year. Hundred-hour weeks. Not the glamorous kind of hustle that looks good in a caption but the kind where you forget to eat and your friends stop texting because you never respond and you cry in your car in a parking lot at least once a month because you are so tired but you cannot stop because the work is too good and the vision is too clear. Until one day, much sooner than we could have ever imagined in our wildest dreams, we hit capacity and took the leap and became full-time entrepreneurs.
Our entire business model is built on a truth that keeps us honest: our success depends completely on our clients’ success. We are basically financially tied to them. We do not win if they do not win. That is not a tagline, it is the architecture of how we operate.
Revenue Over Vanity
We don't celebrate impressions, reach, or follower counts. We celebrate revenue. If a metric doesn't tie to money, we don't report it.
Build It Right or Don't Build It
We'd rather spend two weeks building the tracking infrastructure correctly than launch a campaign on broken data.
Your Data, Your Business
If we stop working together tomorrow, you keep everything. All accounts, pixels, audiences, dashboards. We don't hold your business hostage.
We're Not Your Agency. We're Your Growth Team.
We don't act like an outside vendor. We operate like a senior-level in-house team that happens to work from the outside.
I wouldn't want to do business without them. Hannah and Sara do not over promise and under deliver — they exceed timeframes and expectations."
