Pipeline you can plan around.
Not pray for.

Most agencies set up your campaigns and disappear. We don't. Real paid media is a weekly job, not a quarterly one. Google. Meta. LinkedIn. Outbound. Built, optimized, and reported on every single week — by people who've actually moved the number.

The honest version

What "managed" should actually mean.

What most agencies do

"Set it and forget it" management

  • Launch campaigns once, then run on autopilot
  • Monthly reports that hide what didn't work
  • Junior account managers running senior decisions
  • "Optimization" = nudging bids on Tuesday
  • Conversion tracking based on form fills, not revenue
  • Same ad creative for nine months
  • Vanity metrics (impressions, clicks) lead the report
What we actually do

Real weekly management.

  • Weekly hands-on optimization, not monthly check-ins
  • Reports that surface losses as fast as wins
  • Senior strategists own the account end-to-end
  • Search query mining, negatives, and bid testing every week
  • Conversion tracking tied to actual sales-qualified leads
  • New creative tests shipped every 14 days
  • Cost-per-lead and ROAS lead the report. Always.

The method. Four phases. No mystery.

Setup happens once. Optimization runs forever. Most agencies skip the second part. We treat it as the actual job.

01 / Setup

Foundation, not just a launch.

Conversion tracking installed and verified. Audiences built. Negative keyword library seeded. Naming conventions locked. Ad accounts structured for clarity, not chaos.

02 / Launch

Ship campaigns in week one.

Initial campaigns live within 5–10 business days. We don't wait for "perfect." We ship, measure, and adjust. The market tells us what's working faster than any audit can.

03 / Optimize

Weekly, not monthly.

Search terms reviewed weekly. Bids adjusted. Negatives added. Creative tested. Budget reallocated to winners. This is the work most agencies skip — and the work that actually compounds.

04 / Scale

Pour fuel on what works.

Once we've isolated winning campaigns, audiences, and creative, we scale spend deliberately. New geos, new angles, new platforms — only when the math says yes.

Channels we run

Four channels. Run by people who actually use them.

We don't pretend to be best at every platform. These are the four where we've spent enough money, lost enough money, and made enough money to be genuinely useful.

Channel 01

Google Ads

Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, YouTube. The workhorse for high-intent acquisition. We treat search query reports like they're sacred — because they are.

  • Search campaigns w/ tight match-type discipline
  • Performance Max with manual feed control
  • Negative keyword libraries built from real data
  • Bid strategies tied to lead-quality signals
Channel 02

Meta (Facebook + Instagram)

For demand generation, retargeting, and brand awareness at scale. iOS 14.5 didn't kill Meta — it killed lazy Meta. We run it tight.

  • Conversions API server-side tracking
  • Advantage+ campaigns w/ guardrails
  • Creative testing on a 14-day cycle
  • Custom & lookalike audiences from CRM data
Channel 03

LinkedIn Ads

For B2B, professional services, and high-ticket SaaS. Expensive per click, but cheap per actual buyer if you know what you're doing. Most don't.

  • Sponsored content & document ads
  • Account-based targeting w/ Sales Navigator alignment
  • Conversation ads & message ads
  • Job-title and seniority precision
Channel 04

Outbound + Email

For when paid media isn't enough. Cold email sequences, LinkedIn outreach, and intent-based lists. Built in partnership with our sister brand for SDR-grade outbound.

  • Domain warming & deliverability infrastructure
  • Multi-step sequences w/ AI-assisted personalization
  • Intent-data integration (Apollo, Clay, ZoomInfo)
  • Lifecycle nurture for unconverted leads

The weekly cadence. Visible.

You don't have to take our word that we're "managing" your account. Here's exactly what happens — and when. Every week. Every month. Every quarter.

Cadence What we do
Weekly Search query review · negative keyword additions · bid adjustments · pacing review · creative health check · weekly scorecard delivered
Bi-weekly New ad creative shipped · A/B test launched · landing page conversion review · attribution sanity check · async strategy update
Monthly Full performance report w/ executive summary · CAC & ROAS by channel · 30-min strategy call · next-month plan locked
Quarterly Channel rebalancing · audience refresh · creative library overhaul · annual planning & budget recalibration

Anyone can launch a campaign.
The job is what happens after.
