You have questions about your ad account.
Specific ones.
- Tutorials don't answer them, they don't know your account.
- Agencies don't answer them, too slow, too expensive, or both.
- Your team is asking you, and you don't have time to research.
- You'd ask another paid media person, if you knew one.
The Ad Room is just that.
Welcome inside.
Live on Zoom Wednesdays. Async all week. Direct access to a paid ads expert. Bring your metrics, creatives, and accounts. Get answers by name.
5 things inside The Ad Room
60 minutes on Zoom. Bring screenshots from your account, copy you're testing, creative you're unsure about, results you can't explain. Every call recorded.
Post a question Tuesday at 11pm. Wake up to an answer. Drop in a results screenshot, get it looked at. Other members are running ads too.
Submit your ads. Watch me break them down on camera, analyzing hooks, structure, copy, creative, and what to test next. Recorded and added to the library.
A creative brief, a copy framework, an audit checklist, a reporting tool. Plug in and use it the same day.
Every call tagged by topic. Search "CPM spike" or "TikTok creative" and find every answer I've ever given on it.
This is for you if you're a…
Brand Owner
Spending $500–$50K+/month on Meta and TikTok. You don't have an agency, or you had one and it didn't work. You want to know exactly what's working in your account — and what's not.
In-House Marketer or Freelancer
You're the one running the account. Your boss or client expects you to have the answers. Most of the time you do. Sometimes you don't, and there's nobody senior to ask. The Ad Room is who you ask.
Content Creator for DTC
You want to read a results screenshot and know what to ask next. You want to walk into your next client call understanding why one variation outperformed another. You want to be the creator brands rebook.

“We've worked with Lamees for over 5 years combined across 2 different stints heading up our paid social marketing. She helped scale our annual budget from tens of thousands to just under $1 million dollars annually. ... [read more]
Thanks to Lamees we were able to prioritize long term performance and brand-building over short-term sales. 2024 was our first ever year being first-order profitable thanks to higher AOV and lower CAC.

“This bootcamp was exactly what I needed before jumping into paid ads. I’ve been creating my own business content for over 5 years and wanted to take my content and marketing a bit more seriously. ... [read more]
She broke down how to collaborate with UGC creators, best practices when it comes to the marketing funnel, and gave advice on pricing and usage rights. It’s a great intro to the essentials of paid ads, which set me up to make smarter decisions before spending money on marketing campaigns. Lamees provided insights that were straightforward and actionable. I can't wait to take the paid ads workshop to learn how to scale my business. Highly recommend this for business owners looking to get a handle on their marketing strategy!”

I especially loved tips on how UGC creators can play a role in optimizing marketing campaigns, which is a win-win for both parties. We also had a really good conversation about usage rights, raw footage offerings and upsells which transformed my thinking about how I negotiate and structure pricing. Lamees is a gem and I look forward to future workshops and courses.”
“I like how course was structured - it was easy to follow and I got great value. ... [read more]

I'm Lamees Barnett,
I've spent over a decade running paid media. $300M+ managed. $5B+ generated. Hundreds of brands audited. I've taught Brand Strategy and Qualitative Marketing at Cal State LA, and worked as a Fractional CMO for 7-8 figure DTC brands.
I built The Ad Room because the people who need real paid media answers can't afford an agency, and the people who can afford one rarely get answered. So I built the room I wished existed.
