The roast

Tim calls his agency GoSpooky, which is a fitting name for a business built on the premise that his clients’ marketing budgets should disappear without a trace. He spent six years chasing a Forbes 30 Under 30 badge just to achieve a 0.4% engagement rate. That is not an agency, that is a math error.

  • GoSpooky is in the running for The Lovie Awards Agency of the Year!
