Our story

We grew up in LA. So do our clients.

Iskakan was founded over 10 years ago by LA marketers who were tired of cookie-cutter strategies. Today, we work with hundreds of local businesses across Glendale, Pasadena, West Hollywood, Downtown, and beyond — helping them compete and win in their neighborhoods.

How we work

Three things we promise

💸

Real ROI, not vanity metrics

We don't obsess over impressions or reach. You get leads, bookings, or sales — and you see exactly where your money goes. That's the only metric that matters.

👤

Direct access, not account managers

No getting bounced around between gatekeepers. You talk to the people actually running your campaigns. Weekly calls. Direct Slack. Real conversations.

📍

LA-first, not template playbooks

One-size-fits-all strategies don't work in LA. We know what works in Glendale vs. West Hollywood, downtown vs. the valleys. We build for your neighborhood.

Our origin

Why Iskakan exists

Before Iskakan, we worked at larger agencies. Good people, but the structure was broken. Clients waited 3-4 weeks to launch. Account managers held all the relationships. You'd ask a question and get a 20-slide deck instead of a straight answer. Setup fees were crazy. Contracts locked you in for a year. And worst of all: nobody cared about your actual ROI — they cared about billable hours and scope creep.

We started Iskakan to prove it didn't have to be that way. We wanted to build an agency where clients got speed, transparency, and direct access. Where we took the small retainer and obsessed over making sure you saw a return. Where "no annual contracts" wasn't a gimmick — it was real, because we knew we'd earn your trust every month.

Over 10 years, we've helped hundreds of LA restaurants, salons, real estate agents, and local services rank, convert, and grow. We've made mistakes. We've learned a ton. And we're still here, still taking calls from clients, still running campaigns, still building what we wish had existed when we started.
