About StatBid
In 2015, Roy and Shilo recognized a market gap for a new type of PPC agency, backed by evident demand. Both had experience as ecommerce operators, growing retail businesses by significant multiples during their tenures, and believed this experience would give them an advantage.
As StatBid expanded, largely through word of mouth, demand for a broader offering became apparent, leading to investment in a comprehensive SEO program, plus further investment in engineering and data science.
Adapting to the ever-changing ecommerce landscape and client needs, StatBid has since expanded its solutions to include demand conversion, Shopify development and optimization, and ecommerce operations.
Over twenty dedicated people across data science, account management, strategy, engineering, support, and design. We’re still improving daily, building businesses, and helping produce millions in incremental revenue for our clients.

She manages PPC accounts for e-commerce clients, ensuring systems behave and humans understand what the machines are doing. Amy’s time away from work is spent covered in mud at her wheel, enjoying nature, or nerding out with friends and family.

On his own time, he’s usually working on his chess game, crafting custom cocktails, or hiking around New York state.
SEM Analyst
Arman is a data driven SEM Analyst at StatBid who focuses on understanding search intent and turning messy performance data into clear, actionable decisions. His background in digital marketing and analytics shapes a practical, systems first approach to PPC, with an emphasis on clean tracking, strong campaign structure, and performance that holds up under scale. He is particularly interested in how real user behavior shows up in search queries, where attribution starts to break, and how automation and AI can be used to reduce noise and improve decision making rather than replace it. Arman’s work is guided by a simple principle: “if the data cannot be trusted, the strategy does not matter.” Outside of client work, he enjoys exploring AI driven workflows, building automation systems, and thinking through long term business problems at the intersection of marketing, analytics, and technology.

He has a beautiful partner that’s entirely too good for him, two spunky children that tolerate him lovingly, and dog that’s just the bees knees. In his spare time he loves to read, bask in the sunshine, and record music while sitting on the couch.

The Seven Cs
We believe that a company’s culture is an emergent property of its people, not something that can be decided and approved upon by a board, and then dictated to employees. As such, this isn’t the first version of the list, and may not be the last. This edition is heavily inspired by Moz’s TAGFEE, with honorable mentions to Wheaton’s Law, and various entrepreneurial biographies we found influential. The result is something that learns from other material, but we feel represents who we are, and what we are building together.
Everyone is trying to make their businesses successful, and each has their own journey toward that goal. We must therefore maintain an empathetic foundation in our interactions, with our peers, partners, clients, industry, and world. We operate with respect and care, especially over disagreement, but also in the way we individually, or collectively as StatBid, deal with others.
We strive to be as transparent and honest as possible. Life’s opportunities increase proportionally to our willingness to have awkward conversations. While it’s easy to share victories, only through honest, candid assessment can we improve over time, and help others to do the same.
There’s a saying: “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” While it’s surprisingly difficult to trace to an original source, it sticks in the public consciousness for good reason–some things will call for the first approach, others the second. StatBid is in the business of going far, and that takes a team. Humans are such a successful species, in part, due to our ability to combine our talents and experience, and we embrace this opportunity.
Our industry changes far too quickly to allow any complacency. As a result, we must constantly be looking for new, innovative, and creative ways to approach challenges. Creativity demands the ability to step back, and find new perspectives on old limitations. We will rise to the challenge.
Test what we believe and stay open to being surprised. Curiosity means holding our convictions lightly and approaching every challenge with an experimental mindset. What we think we know today might be wrong tomorrow, and that possibility keeps us sharp. At StatBid we check our egos at the door, run the experiments, learn from the results, and use those insights to continually improve.
Everything we’ve built in the past can be improved upon. We are attached to our output, not our tools, and so we are always open to iterating on tools and processes, if it would improve the results. We will also provide candid suggestions to others who ask, and graciously consider suggestions that we receive. This philosophy allows us to build better things in the future.
The seventh of our Cs only barely starting with a “c” provides for the fact that creative solutions sometimes require abandoning preconceptions and past standards. Our industry changes quickly, and despite this, there are all kinds of baggage that accumulate along the way. To mitigate this, we will always be open to considering wildly alternative solutions. To paraphrase Tim Ferriss: “Most people walk down the street on their legs. Does that mean we walk down the street on our hands? …Not usually, no.” But we also reject the idea that there is a single solution that works for every business, or at every stage of that business’s life, and it’s up to us to spot the difference.
