We’re Done with Agencies

That Lie to Their Clients

Because authentic marketing doesn’t scam people.

Our Origin Story

After two decades inside traditional marketing agencies, Kirk

Ahlquist had seen it all — inflated reports, bloated retainers,

and clients kept in the dark.

The breaking point came after watching too many small

businesses burn their budgets on vanity metrics and empty

promises.

In 2024, he walked away and founded unKAGEd Media — built

to do everything the agency world refuses to.

Our mission is simple: do the work, prove the results, and grow

brands with strategy — not sleight of hand.

What We Believe

Marketing should pay for itself
Transparency builds trust
Metrics mean nothing without revenue
Strategy beats sales pitches
Authentic marketing doesn’t scam people
