Get to know us
At Contact Fuel, we believe data and technology should fuel growth—not hold it back.
Who we are
Our journey began over 30 years ago in the world of data and email marketing. Our founders, Brad Mack and Ray Estevez, first teamed up to build one of the industry’s most successful data platforms (Launchpad / V12 Data), driving the growth of V12 Group and its eventual acquisition in 2016. That experience became the foundation for Contact Fuel. A smarter, AI-driven marketing platform designed to help businesses of all sizes connect, engage, and grow.
What we do
We make digital marketing simple, powerful, and results-driven. Contact Fuel combines Data, Email, SMS, Display Ads, and Social Media into one seamless platform. The platform is fueled by AI and decades of expertise in data, deliverability, and campaign performance.
How We Do It
With user-friendly technology, data, deep industry know-how, and hands-on support from a team that has helped hundreds of businesses thrive. The same proven strategies we used to build our own success are the ones we deliver to our clients every day.
Why We Do It
Because small and mid-sized businesses deserve world-class digital marketing solutions without the complexity or cost of traditional marketing platforms. Our mission is simple: help you reach more customers, build stronger relationships, and achieve measurable growth.
