Paid media operator working across advertising dashboards

Paid media operator

Your ad account, run by someone who's done this before.

An experienced Google Ads and paid media practitioner manages your campaigns hands-on, on a flat retainer. No percent-of-spend fees. Meet your matches in three business days.

What this is

Hands-on paid media, not a monthly report.

Experienced paid media practitioners — 10+ years running Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and paid social budgets for real businesses. Placed on a weekly or monthly retainer. They work inside your account: campaign structure, bidding, negatives, landing-page alignment, and the testing cadence that hourly arrangements never leave room for.

You get one named operator, not a rotating pod. Your account stays yours — every campaign, audience, and learning belongs to you, which is not always true when an agency builds in its own container. And because the retainer is flat, recommending more ad spend never pays us more. The incentives point the same direction yours do.

What you get

The work, itemized.

Account teardown first

Every engagement starts with a written audit: structure, tracking, wasted spend, and the shortlist of fixes ranked by dollar impact.

Hands-on management

Your operator works inside your account — builds, bids, negatives, tests. You keep ownership of the account and every asset in it.

Conversion tracking that holds up

Leads, calls, and form fills wired to actual campaign data, so decisions run on numbers instead of vibes.

Reporting you can read

A plain-language scorecard every month: what we spent, what it produced, what changes next. No 40-tab dashboard exports.

Good fit if

Your ad account needs an owner.

  • Ad spend is going out the door but nobody owns the account week to week
  • An agency ran your ads and you never quite knew what you were paying for
  • Campaigns were set up once, long ago, and "optimization" means hoping
  • You need reporting a business owner can actually read — spend, leads, cost per lead

Not a fit if

You need something else.

  • A one-time campaign setup with no one to run it afterward
  • Six-figure monthly spend needing a full media-buying department
  • Creative production only (we run accounts; we can coordinate creative, not replace a studio)

Transparent pricing

Flat retainer. Never a percent of spend.

Percent-of-spend pricing rewards spending more. A flat retainer rewards results. Pick a tier, switch up or down month-to-month, 15-day fit guarantee.
