I still can solve a good marketing problem.

I was the coach to the ad managers.

Over the years, I’ve managed eight figures in advertising spend, with monthly budgets of up to $800,000. I’ve helped businesses run profitable Facebook ads and taught ad managers around the world how to do the same for their clients.

Through my certification program, The Elite Ad Manger, my monthly membership - The Inner Circle and my high level mentorship - The Clique, I helped people get started, sharpen their skills, improve their systems and build the confidence to manage someone else’s advertising budget.

It was a thriving business and community. I travelled overseas every year, went to events and loved catching up with people.

Then, in 2024, my world shattered.

My 27 year old son-in-law, Zachary, was tragically killed. It was incomprehensible. The kind of loss that changes your whole life in an instant.

I stepped back. My family needed me. I needed to look after myself. We needed space to grieve and get through each day.

We still do. I’m still taking life day by day, and I’m not the same person I was before.

I have very different priorities now.

After more than a decade online, I’ve seen behind the curtain of plenty of businesses. The polished posts and flashy claims can hide a whole lot of mayhem.

I haven’t got the energy for the bullshit anymore.

Honestly, part of me would be very happy with some baby goats, a few hens and a cupboard full of things I’ve canned. Possibly a slightly excessive supply of doomsday provisions, too.

But I also have a brain that’s very good at digital marketing, spotting what isn’t working and figuring out how to make systems work better.

Recently, while helping someone with their funnels and ads, they reminded me that there are still people who need that help. People I’d enjoy working with.

That’s who this is for.

The business owners doing good work. The people willing to roll up their sleeves, who want useful advice and systems that make the day easier for them and their team.

You might want to get better at running your own ads. You might need a proper review of your GoHighLevel account. Or you want help working out where AI fits into your business.

I can help with that. I’ll explain things, tell you what I see and work with you on practical next steps.

Good work. Good people. Enough room for a life outside the business. That’s where I’m at.
