Google Ads, Meta Ads & Marketing Strategy Notes

Practical Ideas to Help You Make Better Marketing Decisions

Marketing advice is everywhere.

The challenge is working out what actually applies to your business, your customers and your advertising budget.

Strategy Notes is where I share practical observations, explanations and ideas about Google Ads, Meta Ads, Facebook and Instagram advertising, campaign optimisation and wider marketing strategy.

Have a Marketing Question?

You have a specific question about your campaign, account or marketing strategy. Perhaps you’re wondering whether your Google Ads budget is being used effectively, whether you should change something in a Meta campaign, or whether a particular marketing idea is worth testing.
You can send me your question. I may answer it privately, or—with your permission—use the wider topic as inspiration for a future Strategy Note.

Need More Than a Strategy Note?

Strategy Notes are designed to help you understand your advertising and make more informed marketing decisions. But sometimes you need someone to look at your actual campaigns, numbers and strategy.

The approach is the same throughout: Independent Advice, Practical Recommendations, and Evidence-Based Decisions.

Strategy, Clarity and Results

Good advertising decisions rarely come from changing everything at once. They come from understanding what’s happening, identifying what matters and deciding what is worth doing next. That’s what Strategy Notes—and my wider Google and Meta Ads support—are designed to help you do.
