Meet Zenen Chamizo
Zenen got his start in marketing in 2019, selling digital marketing at an agency in Cornelius, North Carolina, where he learned the craft from a founder he still credits today.
He took it in-house at Kooks Headers & Exhaust, the performance auto brand, and built the marketing function from the ground up. He led the team, launched new product lines, and turned $64,000 in ad spend into $406,000 in sales. He grew web sales by $600,000 in year one, closed deals with names like Ford Performance, Roush, Mazda, and Multimatic, and put together a record month north of $1.5 million.
From there he ran marketing for a media company, managing more than 40 sites and the ad budgets behind them. Then in 2025 he went all in on SwellWave, and in two years has grown it past $7 million in revenue, with no signs of slowing down.
Across his career he has managed more than $300 million in ad spend, helped more than 50 businesses scale, and closed contracts worth over $2.5 million on more than one occasion. Clients call him a deal maker. He calls it doing the homework and telling the truth, because he would rather tell you what will move your business than what you want to hear.
Who you're working with
Not a faceless agency. Here we are out in the field and building the relationships that open doors for the brands we work with.
Why we make waves
A wave doesn't shout. It builds quietly, gathers force, and moves everything in front of it. That is the kind of growth we go after for the brands we work with: momentum that compounds, not a spike that fades. It is why we say we don't make noise, we make waves.
What we stand for
No more dashboards full of likes that don't pay the bills. We tie every dollar to revenue, so you always know what is working and what it is worth.
We treat your budget like it is our own, and for the right brands we put our own money and time on the line. If you don't win, neither do we.
The people in your first call are the people doing the work. Operators who have managed serious budgets and closed real deals, not a trainee figuring it out on your money.
We run your full marketing and broker the endorsement partnerships that put your brand next to names people already trust. Almost no agency can do both.
No spin, no excuses, no hiding behind reports. We tell you what is working, what is not, and exactly what we would do next.
While another agency schedules one more meeting, we are launching, measuring, and improving. Momentum you can actually feel.
Who we work with
We do our best work with owners and teams who want marketing to drive real revenue and are ready to move. A few of the kinds of brands we partner with:
By invitation
For the right companies, we don't just run the marketing. We invest our own money and time in exchange for a stake in the upside, because we only win when our partners win. If that's a fit, let's talk.
