Short answer: Vysta is a Google Premier Partner that runs only Google and YouTube ads for established DTC e-commerce brands, using a four-stage system that ends in geo holdout incrementality tests and media mix modeling. It’s a strong choice for larger brands ready to make YouTube and Demand Gen a primary growth channel. If your gains sit in Shopping feeds or restricted categories, or you want Microsoft, Meta or email under the same roof, More Than Scaling is the alternative to compare.

Vysta describes itself as measurement-first Google and YouTube for 8- and 9-figure brands, and it takes the narrow focus seriously: its homepage says it doesn’t run Meta, manage SEO, or touch TikTok or email. Its About page names Nate Schneider as founder, its site lists a COO and a head of performance in the leadership team, and it displays a Google Premier Partner badge.
The work follows four stages. First comes the account foundation: rebuilt structure, capped branded spend and tracking of new-customer revenue. Next is a YouTube and Demand Gen engine driven by creative and landing page testing, then scaling the winners, with an in-house team producing advertorials, listicles and product pages. The final stage is proof, using geo holdout incrementality tests and media mix modeling.
Great fit for: established DTC brands in fashion, wellness, home goods or lifestyle that want YouTube to become a primary revenue channel and expect incrementality data rather than platform-reported ROAS alone.
We’re a Google Partner led by founder Bony Ghadiya, and every account is run by a senior strategist. Our deepest work sits in Shopping, Performance Max and the product feed behind them, plus categories that attract policy reviews, such as supplements. Across clients we’ve managed $25M+ in ad spend and tracked $150M+ in revenue.
We also watch branded dependence closely. In one Demand Gen and Shopping rebuild, an account went from a few hundred unprofitable dollars a day to about $2,500 a day at a profit, while branded searches fell from roughly 70% of Google revenue to 35%. If you later want more than Google, Microsoft, Meta and email/SMS are available.
Less suited to brands that specifically want a Google-and-YouTube-only partner with media mix modeling built into the engagement.
A seasoned freelancer can be the most cost-efficient option for a brand still below the spend levels larger agencies look for. You talk directly to the person changing bids, and the scope can be as tight as you like.
The limits are capacity and coverage. One person rarely brings a video team, landing page builders or incrementality testing, and holidays or illness pause the work. Our agency vs. freelancer comparison walks through those trade-offs.
Good fit for brands with one or two core campaigns and a modest budget.
Hiring your own media buyer puts Google and YouTube knowledge inside the company, close to product, margin and inventory decisions. That context compounds the longer the person stays.
The cost isn’t only salary. You need tools, training and someone senior enough to review the work, and a single hire won’t have the pattern recognition that comes from many accounts. See our breakdown of agency vs. in-house costs.
Good fit for brands with large, steady budgets and a marketing leader who can manage the role.
