Anthony Scarpaci founded Tunomatic in 2024 after more than a decade leading growth in-house, most recently as Global VP of Growth at Acorns, where he owned 8- to 9-figure budgets and a 13-person team across the US and UK.

Before that, he led acquisition at NerdWallet, Blue Apron, Betterment, PURE Insurance and DISH, and was CMO of Rustic Pathways.

We've built attribution from scratch, led growth through Apple's ATT changes, and run incrementality tests and media mix models. Now we bring that to D2C subscription and high-consideration brands, alongside their teams and agencies.

You work directly with the founder, not an account manager.

Ted McCarty's 1956 patent drawing for a bridge for stringed musical instruments, the Tune-o-matic
U.S. Patent 2,740,313. Bridge for stringed musical instruments, T. M. McCarty, 1956.

The name

Named for the part that keeps everything in tune.

In 1952, Gibson president Ted McCarty filed the patent for the Tune-o-matic, the bridge where a guitar's strings meet its body. Its adjustable saddles let a player set each string's intonation, so every note rings true all the way up the neck.

Tunomatic is based in Nashville, home to Gibson and namesake of the Nashville Tune-o-matic, the modern version of McCarty's bridge.

The name is the job. We're the bridge between your leadership, your team, and your agencies, making the small, precise adjustments that bring your marketing in tune.
