About Platform Marketing Agency
Platform Marketing Agency was born out of necessity.
When the entire world was rocked by the pandemic in 2020, companies across the globe had to pivot their strategies overnight; Advance Your Reach was no different. The moment that live, in-person events were shut down, we saw $5 million in revenue disappear.
Pete Vargas, AYR’s Founder, sought counsel from his mentors and was told that the only way forward was to layoff 70% of the staff.
This was unacceptable option.
So we found another way and launched the Rise Up Challenge.
And while we had done many successful challenges before, we had never attacked one with this kind of fire. Our goal was to get 25,000 people into the Challenge.
We didn’t do that.
Are you ready to get on the fast track and have Pete Vargas’s “Special Ops” Marketing team build your platform for you?
MEET OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM
PETE VARGAS
Founder & Chief Strategist
A Master at teaching people how to grow their businesses with stages and build their platforms. Since 2003, he and his team have directly booked over 25,000 stages worldwide and generating tens of millions of dollars in revenue through those stages. In 2016, he founded our sister company, Advance Your Reach – and, walking his talk, has used stages as his platform to grow to over $10 million in 3 years, hitting the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America for the first time in 2019.
Pete and his team have worked with and helped thousands of people using their system and training, including industry leaders like Russell Brunson, Grant Cardone, Dean Graziosi & Tony Robbins, Chalene Johnson, Michael Hyatt, Daymond John, JJ Virgin, Dave Ramsey Solutions, Garrett White, and Ryan Deiss.

RACHEL STIVERS
CEO
Rachel has an extensive background in accounting, business, and marketing. She spent the first 5 years of her career at Deloitte. After 5 years, as so many others around the world can relate to, she then read The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss and decided to make a switch.
During this portion of her life, she also discovered something profound about herself: she loved helping businesses grow.
Over the past 13 years, she has worked with some of the most successful marketers in the world, including Ramit Sethi and Pete Vargas, helping them generate tens of millions of dollars.
She is the former Director of Marketing for Advance Your Reach, helping them grow to over $10 million in annual revenue in under 3 years.
As the CEO of PMA, she still has her hand in all things strategy, and that is what lights her up.
BRANDEN GURULE
Director of Tech & Creative Services
Branden Gurule is a dynamic leader and innovative creative with over two decades of experience at the forefront of design, live production, and team leadership.
He has built powerful systems and structures across a variety of industries, working with both non-profits and Fortune 500 companies like Apple and Bank of America. Branden has extensive expertise in live production, spanning radio, podcasts, television broadcast, live webinars, and video production—mastering everything from behind-the-scenes coordination to video editing and post-production.
His ability to lead and execute creative strategies has been a cornerstone of his success, both prior to joining our leadership team here at PMA and since coming on board in early 2023. When he’s not creating and building, you’ll find Branden cruising on his Harley, enjoying the ride and dreaming up his next creative play in his downtime.
SAMANTHA LANCELOT
Director of Mar-Tech
Samantha Lancelot is a proud nerd with a special affinity for marketing and technology. She has a strong background in graphic design with a major in advertising. Supporting other people’s dreams was something she had been doing since graduation, working for various marketing agencies and discovering her unique knack for creating systems and processes along the way.
She joined the Marketing Team at Advance Your Reach and dove headfirst into the marketing world, witnessing the ins and outs and, most importantly… the difference between creating something and creating something that converts and gets results.
With gumption and drive, Samantha also discovered a crucial aspect to successful marketing—the ability to pivot. There is never a “one size fits all” solution to a problem, and this mindset has set her approach apart.
As the Director of Technology and Creative Services, Samantha ensures that all creative and tech aspects get results for our clients while building a strong and connected creative team.
