Who’s Behind Adgorithm Agency?

BUILT BY A STRATEGIST WHO SEES MORE THAN JUST METRICS.

Adgorithm Agency was founded by Denise Kovaleski — an award-winning media strategist and marketing leader with a track record of guiding brands through moments of growth, change, and complexity. Her work spans local businesses, mission-driven organizations, and public-impact brands, with a consistent focus on clarity, integrity, and thoughtful strategy.

Throughout her career, Denise has helped organizations navigate noisy markets and competing priorities by slowing the conversation down asking better questions before chasing tactics. Her work is grounded in the belief that marketing should be both intelligent and human: built to create understanding, not just activity.

She founded Adgorithm Agency in response to something deeper: the need for more intelligent, intentional decision-making before marketing dollars are spent. Too often, businesses move quickly into execution without a clear hypothesis, shared understanding, or defined constraints. Denise built Adgorithm to change that pattern.

What sets her approach apart isn’t buzzwords or bravado — it’s a calm, collaborative way of working that brings structure and clarity to complex decisions. She leads with curiosity and respect, helping clients see what truly matters, what’s ready to move forward, and what’s better left untouched for now.

"I built Adgorithm Agency to prove that strategic marketing can still have a soul.”
