STRATEGIC MENTORSHIP
I Need a Navigator
You already have:
- A lean internal team
- Active ad spend and creative flow
- Momentum you don’t want to lose

What’s Burning Budget?
Most leaks come from one of these 3 places.
THE AGENCY TRAP
Â
The "Blended" Shield: Hiding failing channels behind "Blended ROAS" or shifting KPIs to mask underperformance.
Â
Channel Basis: Pushing budget where they have expertise, not where you have ROI.
THE CONTRACTOR GAP
Â
The Amateur Premium: High fees for work that misses the targets and does not drive ROI.
Â
Execution Errors Basis: Budget and decisions based on their comfort zone, not what performs for your business.
THE INTERNAL BOTTLENECK
 Â
The Ownership Void:Â Talented people doing the wrong tasks because of poor structure.
Â
Strategy Stagnation: No clear KPIs, misaligned priorities, and teams stuck in outdated processes.
 Why is This Happening?
Most people looking at your accounts have a "skin in the game" bias.
Â
Agencies want to keep their fee.
Contractors want to keep their hours.
Internal teams want to protect their jobs.
Â
I'm paid for clarity, not management. I dissect the strategy and the execution to see what's actually performing and who's just "managing the budget."
What This Audit Covers:
-
Ad Account Forensics:Â Deep dive into paid media channels, strategy, and spend allocation to find where the budget is burning.Â
-
Agency Scrutiny: I look past the monthly reports to see whether they are actually moving the needle or just managing spend.Â
-
Marketing Review: Identify your best channels for acquisition vs retargeting, and where to allocate spend.
-
Creative Accountability: I audit whether your creative, whether it comes from an agency or contractor, is actually driving a return.Â
-
 Internal Workflow: I map your internal ops to find where communication breaks down and where the team needs sharper guidance to perform.
I pinpoint what’s wasting spend, what’s working, & what to fix first.
