Run your own Meta ads.
Boosting posts isn't advertising. It's the button Meta hopes you press. In four hours we build it properly, in your own ad account: one offer worth paying for, aimed at your actual customers, with a budget you control. You leave with the campaign built and knowing how to run it.

Sound like you?
You boosted a post once. $100 later: likes from strangers, no customers.
You know your customers are on Facebook and Instagram. You just don't know what to press.
Agencies want a retainer to run it for you, and won't show you what they did.
That's the morning. We've managed over $1.5 million in ad spend for local businesses. We'll build your campaign with you, in your account, and show you exactly how to run it yourself.
What you'll learn.
Why boosting burns money, and what Meta actually rewards.
The one offer in your business worth paying to promote.
Who to target, and when to let Meta work it out.
How to write ads with AI that still sound like you.
What to spend a day, and when to stop.
The four numbers that tell you it's working, and the ones to ignore.
Four hours. Here's the run sheet.
You build in your own ad account the whole time, and we're right there with you.
Doors and setup
Coffee, laptops out, your ad account open. No account? We set one up together.
Why your ads haven't worked

Questions, answered.
Do I need an ad account already?
No. If you have one, bring the login. If you don't, we'll set one up on the day. It takes about ten minutes.
How much ad budget do I need?
You set it. Most owners start between $10 and $30 a day. Nothing spends until you switch the campaign on, and you can stop it any time. The seat price doesn't include ad spend.
Will the ads definitely work?
Nobody can promise that, and you should walk away from anyone who does. What we can promise: a properly built campaign, a budget you control, and you knowing how to read the results and adjust.
I've run ads before and got burned.
Most accounts we take over were set up to spend, not to sell. Bring your old campaigns and we'll show you what actually happened, then build it right.
What do I bring?
A laptop, your Facebook login, and your phone with photos of your work on it. When you book we'll email a two-minute setup to do beforehand.
What if I don't leave with it built?
Then you don't pay. If your campaign isn't built and ready when you leave, we refund your seat.
Lock in your seat.
Run your own Meta ads. Tuesday 18 August, 9:00am to 1:00pm, Brisbane CBD. Ten seats, one business each. If you don't leave with your campaign built, we refund your seat.
