Since 2014

We started in a guest room. Now we build the software other agencies wish they had.

Donovan Digital Solutions began in 2014 in the guest room of founder Mason Donovan. The foundation got laid at a coffee shop in Uniontown, Ohio, alongside the team's first hire, Kyle Konet. A decade in, the company that started with two people and a laptop now runs its own AI marketing platform underneath every client account it manages.

What we are not

We're not a company that posts a few graphics to social media and calls it a strategy. We're not interested in "set it and forget it" retainers. If you want a partner who coasts, we're the wrong call.

We're also not pretentious about it. We don't need to bury you in jargon to prove we know what we're doing — we'd rather show you the platform and let the results underneath it do the talking.

Kirk started his career as a radio announcer and sales representative — and learned early that advertising's only real job is getting people to respond. He's since become one of the more popular speakers for the American Advertising Federation and teaches at several major universities.

Founder

Mason Donovan

Mason grew up in advertising — his family has run one of Atlanta's most successful traditional agencies for decades. He learned digital by doing, which is exactly why the platform on this site exists: he got tired of watching software vendors move slower than the business needed.

What changed: we stopped renting our stack

Instead of stitching together a dozen third-party SaaS tools to run client marketing, we built the platform ourselves — content generation, SEO scoring, call intelligence, bid response, all one system. That's what's described on the Platform page, and it's what every client on our Work page is running today.
