Your ad reports are probably lying to you. Not because the platforms are evil geniuses, although some days that feels plausible. They're lying because each platform grades its own homework, and your customer didn't wake up, see one ad, and instantly buy. They bounced around. Search, social, email, maybe display, maybe a branded search later […]

You're probably here for one of two reasons. Either you're doing marketing work you shouldn't be doing, which usually means fiddling with ad accounts at 10:30 p.m. instead of fixing product, hiring sales, or talking to customers.

You're probably here for one of three reasons. Your Google Ads account is chewing through budget and giving you excuses instead of revenue. Your agency keeps sending reports with rainbow charts and no clear answer. Or you hired someone who talks like a bid strategy wizard, then lights money on fire while calling it “learning.” […]

Most advice about agency vs in-house is built on toddler math. It compares a salary to a retainer, nods thoughtfully, and acts like the job is done. It isn't. That's how founders end up trapped between a “full-service” agency that replies three days late and an in-house “performance expert” who knows one ad platform well […]

You posted a media buyer job description. Then the applications rolled in. Half the candidates can “manage campaigns.” Terrific. So can a raccoon with admin access and a loose attitude toward budget controls. The other half say they're “data-driven,” which usually means they exported a CSV once and survived. That's the problem. Most job descriptions […]
