From $10K a month
to millions —
year over year.

In 2021, we partnered with Tyler Simmons when Bucket Golf Game was generating just ten thousand dollars a month. Most agencies would have passed. We saw exactly what it could become.

The product was built for the same moments QB54 was — tailgates, backyards, beaches. Real people, real competition, zero screens. Our job was to put it in front of the right audiences at the right scale.

We grew their revenue by millions each year. When Tyler appeared on Shark Tank, we flew to San Francisco for the viewing party with his friends, family, and team. That same year, he secured a deal with Mark Cuban — and scaled to twenty million dollars in annual revenue.

We flew to San Francisco for the Shark Tank viewing party. That's not an agency relationship — that's a partnership.

AVNI Lab — The night it aired
Tyler and Jenny on Shark Tank set

The night
everything changed.

When Tyler walked onto the Shark Tank stage, AVNI Lab was in the room. Not watching on a TV — at the viewing party, with his team, his family, his friends. That's what a real partnership looks like. The deal with Mark Cuban followed. The scaling to $20M followed that.

The Result

$10K a month to
$20 million a year.
Built together.

We grew their revenue by millions each year — starting from ten thousand dollars a month. The Shark Tank appearance, the Mark Cuban deal, and the $20M milestone were all built on the advertising infrastructure AVNI Lab put in place from day one.

2021
Partnership Start

We came in at $10K/month. Most agencies wouldn't have. We saw the potential.

Mark Cuban
Shark Tank Deal

Tyler secured a deal with Mark Cuban — with AVNI Lab in the room for the viewing party.

Profitable
Year Over Year

Through the Meta Andromeda update and every algorithm shift — we kept accounts profitable.

Meta LA HQ Event · 2025

At Meta HQ —
right before Andromeda.

In 2025, we were invited to Meta's Los Angeles headquarters for their SMB conference — alongside Tyler, the Bucket Golf team, and other top advertisers.

Weeks later, Meta rolled out the Andromeda update — one of the most significant algorithm changes in years. Accounts that weren't prepared saw their performance collapse overnight.

Because of the relationships we built and the intelligence we gathered at that event, we navigated the update ahead of the curve. Bucket Golf's account stayed profitable through every shift.

That's the difference between a vendor and a partner — being in the room, building relationships, and using that access to protect your client's account when the landscape changes.

The Journey

How we built
a $20M brand
from scratch.

2021 — The Start
$10K/Month. We Said Yes.

When most agencies look for proven brands with scale, we partnered with Tyler at $10K a month. We saw the product, saw the market, and built the advertising system from the ground up.

Year Over Year
Millions in Revenue Growth

Each year we scaled their revenue by millions. Consistent Facebook advertising, creative that performed, and a system that compounded month after month.

Shark Tank
In the Room. Mark Cuban Deal.

We flew to San Francisco for the Shark Tank viewing party. Tyler secured a deal with Mark Cuban that year, and scaled to $20M in annual revenue.

2025 — Meta HQ
Andromeda. We Were Ready.

Attended Meta's LA headquarters SMB conference. When the Andromeda update hit weeks later, we navigated it ahead of the curve — keeping Bucket Golf's account profitable through every change.

What We Did
01
Facebook Advertising
Built and scaled Facebook ad campaigns from $10K/month to millions in annual revenue — year over year, compounding consistently.
02
Performance Creative
Produced creative that captured the pure fun of Bucket Golf — real people, real energy, the kind of content that makes someone stop scrolling and buy.
03
Long-Term Partnership
We were at the Shark Tank viewing party. We were at Meta HQ. We're in the room for the moments that matter — not just managing campaigns from a distance.
04
Algorithm Navigation
When the Meta Andromeda update hit in 2025, we were already prepared — using direct intelligence from Meta's own SMB conference to protect and maintain profitable performance.
The Takeaway

Bucket Golf's story isn't about one viral moment or one lucky break. It's about what happens when you build the right foundation, stay consistent, and have a partner who's genuinely invested in your success — not just your monthly retainer.

We started when Tyler was at $10K a month. We were in San Francisco the night Shark Tank aired. We were at Meta HQ months before the algorithm changed. Every milestone in this brand's growth has AVNI Lab in the background.

That's the kind of partnership we build for every client — long-term, fully invested, and in the room for the moments that matter.
