Self-Storage Advertising Firm Adverank to Add 37 Employees

Adverank LLC, which provides a digital-ad assistant for self-storage operations, plans to add 37 employees to support its rapid growth. The company currently has four team members, according to the source.

Adverank will receive up to $800,000 in state tax credits from the Indiana Economic Development Corp. to expand its staff. The performance-based incentives will be received after Adverank meets its hiring goals. Business-advisory firm Sikich LLC helped the company form its expansion plans. the source reported.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our team and creating new opportunities for the Indiana tech community,” said Jason Zickler, CEO and cofounder of Adverank. “The vibrant business environment, skilled workforce and supportive community in Indiana make it the perfect location for our continued growth. We’re proud to continue contributing to the local economy and deepening our involvement in the Zionsville community as we grow.”

Zickler has provided leadership for other tech-marketing firms in the Indianapolis area including LiveLink, Mix, Pathway Productions LLC and Versomedia, the source reported.

Earlier this month, Self Storage Manager Inc., a provider of management software for the self-storage industry, announced that it had launched a website-management tool for its cloud users that’s powered by Adverank. The new offering will help users enhance customer engagement and boost their online-marketing capabilities, according to a source.

In January 2023, Adverank released a cloud-based software product designed to help self-storage operators maximize their pay-per-click advertising. The launch was a joint venture with Avad Capital LLC, a commercial real estate investor with roots in the self-storage industry that provided $1 million in seed capital for the product.

Adverank is based in Zionsville, Indiana. Its digital ad assistant is used by more than 350 self-storage facilities to analyze digital-ad campaigns and optimize their marketing. The company also provides social media advertising services.
