About US

Rust Proof Marketing was built for the doers — the business owners who care about results, not just reach.

We started as a passion project, running ads for local brands and learning the game from the ground up. No trust funds, no agency fluff — just real experience, earned through trial, error, and relentless execution.

Over time, we’ve helped restaurants pull off record-breaking months, quadrupled the average attendance to events, and generated thousands of leads for small service businesses. We know what it’s like to bet on yourself — and we built this agency to help others win that bet.

Our name says it all. We’re here to build marketing systems that last. Strategies that don’t break under pressure. Campaigns that cut through noise and drive real revenue. Everything we do is performance-first, rooted in data, and designed to scale.

What We Do Best

At Rust Proof, we turn clicks into customers and strategies into real revenue.

📍 Google Map Ads

We get you seen at the top of the map when people are searching right now. Perfect for businesses who have customers using google maps to find their business. (example: a hungry person searches "food near me" to find restaurants near by)

🔧 Local Service Ads

We set up and manage your Google LSA profile so your business profile shows up at the top of the search results when people search up keywords related to your service. You only pay for real calls.

📱 Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)

Scroll-stopping creative meets razor-sharp targeting. We run paid campaigns that reach the right people, build brand buzz, and drive conversions.

🤖 Automated Lead Follow-Up (SMS + Email)

Leads shouldn’t slip through the cracks. We build follow-up systems that text, email, and nurture your leads instantly — so you're closing deals while you're busy running the business.

Why Us?

Most agencies are still running strategies from 10 years ago. I'm not.

I built Rust Proof Marketing to be different — no freelancers, no outsourcing, no white-labeled teams. I run every single ad campaign myself to make sure things are done right and built to perform.

Since I was 18, I’ve managed over $5 million in ad spend across Google, Meta, YouTube, and beyond. I’ve worked in almost every industry you can think of — job recruitment, concerts, flea markets, car sales, yacht rentals, music studios, landscaping, restaurants, ecommerce, and more.

In 2025, I was awarded Best Ads Marketer in Oregon by the Evergreen Awards. But recognition aside, what matters most to me is helping real businesses grow using strategies that actually work right now — not recycled tactics from a decade ago.

Rust Proof is young, fast, and fully in tune with where digital attention is going. If you’re looking for marketing that’s sharp, current, and built for real results — that’s exactly what I do.

"Our first month running Google Map ads with Elias we saw an immediate spike. In the third month, we had a record day. The next month, we had a record month. The month after that... we beat that record. It's crazy how many customers we were missing out on before working with Elias."

"The most people we've ever had at an event for sure. The space was POPPING, with people lined up around the block."

Back To The Basket

"In our first month working with Rust Proof Marketing, he turned $2500 of ads into a little over 200 leads ($12.5 per lead) for my business in the automotive industry. Safe to say, what they do works."

Curtis Goodwin

Fresh Start Now

"We've been working with Elias for almost a year, and things have been on ape sh*t mode. Our average attendees at our events went from ~300 people ($5 tickets) to ~2,000 people ($10 tickets). We keep spending more on ads and it keeps making us more money."

Austin Possert

Thrift Haven

I started Rust Proof Marketing because I was tired of seeing businesses get burned by agencies that overpromise and don’t deliver. Since I was 18, I’ve been obsessed with learning how to run ads that actually work — and I still run every single campaign myself to make sure you get real results. No fluff, no outsourcing, no guesswork. Just work that’s thoughtful, current, and built to perform.
