A2 Analytics Hires Red Ventures Veteran Jon Aron as Head of Design
Charlotte-based AI content startup accelerates growth with key leadership hire, scales data-driven SEO solutions for national brands
August 26, 2025 | Charlotte, NC
CHARLOTTE, NC – A2 Analytics (“A2”), a Charlotte-based start-up company that transforms brand data into AI-native, SEO-optimized content, announced today the appointment of Jon Aron as Head of Design. The hire marks a pivotal growth milestone as the startup scales its work with national brands in home services, transportation, and franchising.
As Head of Design, Aron will define and execute A2’s design vision, ensuring every asset – from thousands of SEO landing pages to custom interactive tools – meets the highest standards for usability, performance, and brand impact. He will also embed design thinking into A2’s automation workflows, scaling the company’s unique blend of data, AI, and UX.
Aron brings nearly 15 years of experience from Red Ventures, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President of UX & Design, leading creative for trusted national brands including The Points Guy and Bankrate. He joins A2 in addition to his consultancy, New Rodeo, where he partners with top brands to deliver high-impact digital experiences.
In a world where copy and content are rapidly commoditized by AI, design and data are the moats. Jon has the best design eye we’ve seen, and bringing him on as our first Head of Design strengthens our ability to deliver world-class experiences across every facet of our AI content offerings.
With Aron’s addition, A2’s team grows to three, with plans to add capacity and double client accounts over the next 12 months while maintaining a lean, speed-focused operation.
I’ve worked with some of the most respected brands in the country. What Austin and Ali have built at A2 combines speed, precision, and creativity in a way I rarely see. I’m excited to help shape the next stage of growth.
Founded by Austin Shrum and Ali Yazdi, both Red Ventures and AvidXchange alumni, A2 turns existing brand data—reviews, pricing, sales data, and product specs—into scalable content engines aligned to client brand standards and revenue goals.
We saw a gap: translating your internal data points into high quality SEO articles requires significant human capital investment. With AI, we can compress months of work into days and free up talent for more editorially driven work & strategy.
A2 Analytics by the Numbers
Since launching in late 2024, A2 has grown to 10 national brand accounts and published more than 5,000 SEO-optimized content pages. The company is projecting 10x year-over-year revenue growth—into the mid-to-high six figures in 2025—while maintaining healthy operating margins.
