Yousif Alias, founder of Media Traffics and KenjiAI
Yousif Alias is the founder of Media Traffics, a San Diego-based paid acquisition agency operating since 2013, and KenjiAI, an AI business automation platform launched in 2025. He has spent 13 years building lead generation systems for small and mid-market businesses.
Background
Yousif started running paid acquisition campaigns at 17 with no money, no network, and no formal training. By 19 he was managing ad spend for local home services businesses in California. In 2013 he co-founded Media Traffics with Brian Silverston to bring enterprise-grade paid acquisition systems to small and mid-market business owners who could not afford traditional media agencies.
Over the following decade Media Traffics expanded from a two-person operation to a 49-person team serving 800+ businesses across home services, healthcare, financial services, insurance, mortgage, real estate, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce.
What Yousif speaks and writes about
Yousif is a frequent commentator on AI in marketing, paid acquisition economics, and the practical reality of running a profitable agency in 2026. His content focuses on the working math of campaigns: what actually generates ROI, what burns money, and what business owners get wrong about lead generation.
