That became a Google ads agency that grew to multiple 7 figures, and Google’s Channel Sales inner circle and a successful exit in 2021. The exit allowed Rob to do what he does best, build technology solutions for industry wide problems, firstly, ppdadlab - a google ads spy tool (imagine spyfu if it worked properly) which scaled to $1m+ and exited in 2024. Then agentic Google ads automation built on private datasets, proprietary processing and bittensor prediction modelling. Recently launchedthe worlds best Google Ads mcp server (proven, not an opinion). Teaming up with Mike on Red First we’re here to bring robust, scalable, secure agentic implementations to mid-size businesses worldwide.
Mike Jones - Co-Founder & CTO of Red First
Build the Business That Builds Businesses
Mike Jones is a seasoned builder at the intersection of marketing technology and autonomous AI systems. Starting with an Amstrad CPC 464 in the 1980s, he took an unconventional route into sales and marketing before finding his true calling in building tech that drives real commercial outcomes. In the digital agency world, Mike developed a deep expertise in B2B outreach automation. In 2016, he launched a LinkedIn-focused SaaS platform that has since helped clients generate more than $150 million in sales pipeline.

Today, as Co-Founder & CTO of Red First, Mike is developing RedOS — a platform that enables a single operator to spin up and run a fully AI-powered business in minutes, not months.
