About · Atlanta, GA

An Atlanta marketing firm that only takes work it knows.

Clicks & Clients is an Atlanta marketing firm founded in 2025 by Fa'res Husseini (opens in a new tab), who runs it with a team of specialists across each part of an engagement. The firm manages paid media, builds the landing pages and websites that paid traffic arrives on, and produces ad creative and brand identities, with SEO and account audits available as separate projects. Clients are in metro Atlanta, across the United States, and in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. We keep to industries we know well and turn down engagements where another firm would serve the client better.

Remote by default

Nearly every engagement runs remotely, with kickoffs and reviews on video. In-person work happens on the rare occasions a project calls for it, usually in metro Atlanta.

Built around what you need

Some clients want the whole program. Others want one channel run well, or a website and nothing else. The scope follows the account rather than a package.

A narrow set of industries

Startups, law firms, and local service businesses, along with ecommerce brands. Depth in a few markets is why the numbers hold up, and why we pass on the rest.

On the record

Every January, 5% of the firm's profits go to the American Belgian Malinois Rescue.

The thesis

The leverage in paid media has moved.

Five years ago, a competent media buyer could outperform a less competent one with the same creative by being smarter about audience structure, bid strategy, and placement selection. That advantage has mostly disappeared. The major platforms (Google, Meta, TikTok) have invested heavily in machine-learning systems that find the right buyers given enough creative variety to test against. They do it faster, at lower cost, and with less variance than nearly any human media buyer can. This isn’t a controversial claim inside the platforms themselves; their own documentation tells advertisers to give the algorithms broad audiences and lots of creative. It’s the agency category that hasn’t caught up.

Most agencies still sell what they sold in 2018: clever audience builds, refined bid strategies, technical expertise in the platforms’ settings panels. That work used to be where the advantage was. It mostly isn’t anymore. What wins now sits one layer up, in the ad itself: the hook in the first three seconds, the offer, the landing page the click goes to, and the conversion experience after it. Agencies that haven’t reorganized around that shift are spending their hours optimizing the layer that’s been automated, and producing flat numbers as a result.

We built the firm around the new advantage rather than the old one. Creative production and conversion design are core services here, not add-ons sold around a retainer. Media management still matters. The platforms aren’t fully self-driving, and someone has to set them up, watch them, and step in when they go sideways. But it’s the smallest of the three lanes by hours, and the numbers we produce reflect that ordering.

Three positions

What the thesis commits us to.

The thesis produces specific decisions about how the firm runs engagements: which clients we take, what we charge for, and where we say no.

01

The right answer is usually “spend less, on fewer things.”

Most accounts we audit are spread across too many channels, too many campaigns, too many audiences. Concentration beats diversification at most budget levels. We’d rather run two campaigns that work than ten campaigns that fill the funnel.

What this commits us to

Telling clients to cut spend, not add to it. Refusing to launch on channels that won’t move the number. Pushing back on “we should also try TikTok” requests that aren’t backed by anything.

02

The leverage now sits in the ad itself.

The platforms have gotten better at finding buyers than any media buyer has. The leverage in 2026 sits in the hook, the offer, the first three seconds, the landing page. Most agencies still spend their hours in audience settings and bid strategies. That’s optimizing the wrong layer.

What this commits us to

Spending real time on creative briefs, hooks, and landing pages. We don’t typically sell creative as a standalone service. We solve for it through constant testing: run creatives until one wins, then test as many variables inside the winner as we can to keep extracting performance.

03

The brand and the ad account are the same project.

Most agencies treat brand work and performance work as separate practices, run by separate teams, on separate timelines. That’s how you get a beautifully designed brand book that contradicts what the Meta ads say. The two should be built together. The brand is what makes the ad work twice: once when someone sees it, again when they remember it next week.

What this commits us to

Selling brand and performance as integrated, not à la carte. Doing real brand work even on performance engagements, or saying no to engagements that won’t allow it.

Across the accounts we manage, we average a 4.2× ROAS in 90 days, with clients seeing roughly a 28% reduction in cost per lead and a 21% lift in conversions in that same window. Fast-cycle verticals run substantially higher.
