How we can help.
For businesses that run their own Google Ads, Meta, TikTok or LinkedIn (or are about to) and want senior input without a full-time hire or a large agency retainer. Rather we ran it day to day? See media management.

We bring this across sectors, from B2B, SaaS, startups and eCommerce to travel and wellness.
Have an in-house team
Your team runs the accounts day to day but lacks senior paid media leadership, or wants an expert second opinion on strategy, structure and automation.
Are reviewing your agency
You’re not sure whether your current agency is delivering, or what good should look like. An independent paid audit gives you the facts before you decide.
Plan to go in-house
You want to bring paid media in-house without a dip in performance. We plan the move, train the team and stay close through the transition. See our in-housing cost guide.
Start small, or go deep.
Clear costs: fixed-price audits and day-rate work agreed up front. No surprises, no long tie-ins.
01One-off audit
Fixed price, from £195. The quickest way to get an independent view of where you stand.
02Scoped project
An in-housing programme, a strategy reset or a training course, with the days and cost agreed before we start.
03Ongoing advisory
A set number of days each month for reviews, planning and support, on flexible terms you can change as needs change.
How it works
- 01
Scope
A short call to understand your goals, team and accounts. We agree the scope, the days involved and the cost up front, before any work begins.
- 02
Deliver
Senior, hands-on work: reviewing accounts, building plans, running workshops or working alongside your team, with regular check-ins so nothing drifts.
- 03
Hand over
Everything is documented and handed over so your team owns it. We’re not defending campaigns we built, so you get an honest read, and the know-how stays with you.
Consultancy questions.
01What does your consultancy include?
Paid audits, strategic support, in-housing programmes and training. Senior paid media expertise, shaped around your priorities, without handing over your accounts.
02How much does consultancy cost?
Paid audits are fixed-price, from £195. Other consultancy is based on day rates, with the scope, number of days and total cost agreed up front, so there are no surprises and no open-ended retainer.
03What’s the difference between consultancy and media management?
With media management, we run your campaigns day to day. With consultancy, your team keeps running them, and we review, advise, train or plan, then step back. Many businesses start with consultancy and move to management later, or the other way round.
04Can you help us bring paid media in-house?
Yes. Our in-housing support is a structured transition: securing account ownership, documenting the set-up, training the team and staying close through a phased handover, all fitted to your timeline.
05Do you offer training for in-house teams?
Yes. Training is tailored to your team’s level and platforms, from Google Ads and Meta fundamentals to tracking, automation and new features. We run it as workshops or ongoing sessions.
06Do you offer free audits?
No. A free audit is usually a sales pitch in disguise. Our audits are paid, so you get a thorough, senior and independent review with a prioritised action plan you keep.
Tell us what you’re working on and we’ll suggest the simplest way to help, often starting with a paid audit.
