Yousif Alias, founder of KenjiAI and Media Traffics

Yousif Alias is the founder of KenjiAI (founded in 2020 as an all-in-one CRM and evolved in 2022 into KenjiAI by natively embedding all AI models) and Media Traffics, the San Diego-based paid acquisition agency operating since 2013. He has spent 13+ years building lead generation and automation 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 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 into a full team serving businesses across home services, healthcare, legal, financial services, real estate, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce. In 2020, after seeing business owners constantly struggle with fractured software stacks, Yousif founded Kenji as an all-in-one CRM. In 2022, he took the platform to the next level by natively embedding all major AI language and telephony models directly into Kenji—transforming it into KenjiAI. This native integration allowed company owners to run 24/7 inbound and outbound AI call centers and automated lead conversion without any outside clunky connections or third-party API headaches.

What Yousif builds

KenjiAI consolidates the standard marketing tech stack: 24/7 Inbound & Outbound AI Call Centers, CRM, funnels, email, SMS, and ad management. The platform is built for business owners who want immediate results without managing software, and runs on transparent pricing starting from $199/mo.

Media Traffics, the parent agency, continues to operate as a done-for-you service for clients who want a full team running their acquisition. The two businesses share the same operational playbooks, with KenjiAI delivering the self-serve version of what Media Traffics built over a decade.
