From one local campaign to a national agency.
Before Papa Pixels, Sloan Stennett was a salesman for a pest control company. He saw more opportunity in the local market than the company was capturing, so he made it happen: in the summer of 2023 he built and ran their first paid campaign and watched it change their pipeline.
He started Papa Pixels on the side in Alabama, building campaigns at night, and signed his first client before moving back to Missouri. The early days were a few small retainers and savings. The growth came from results: business owners who got them told other business owners.
The first owner he met at a local referral group in 2024 is still a client today. So are most of the clients who have come through since, from remodelers in Texas and Washington to a carpentry guild in Massachusetts and a security company in Kansas.
Papa Pixels hired its first full-time employee in 2026. Every campaign is still built the way the first one was: from scratch, in the owner's voice, with real photos, and managed every day.
