What you get

A plan you can learn from, build on and keep.


Not a report that tells you what you already know. Ranked fixes, plain rules and a plan for each week, built from what your own customers say.

01

Know what your customers say.

Research on your customers and your market. Who buys from you, what they worry about before they buy, and the exact words they use.

  • Your buyers, written up as people you'll recognise
  • What each of them needs to believe before they buy
  • Angles and opening lines for your ads, each traced to a real customer

02

Fix what's leaking first

We look at your shop and your offer before your ads. Ads can't fix a page that doesn't sell, so every fix is ranked by how much it matters, and we say which things are fine and shouldn't be touched.

03

Know what to run

Ad briefs you or anyone you hire can make from, and a content plan you can shoot on a phone. No studio, no agency.

04

Know what to do each week

How to set up Meta, test, and set a budget, with plain rules for when to switch an ad off and when to spend more. A tracking checklist that settles which number to trust. And the Monday Check: your weekly rules on one page, with your numbers on it.

05

Know where you're heading

A 30, 60 and 90 day plan, so you know what comes after this week.

06

In days, not months

Your playbook arrives within 7 working days of your completed questionnaire, or 10 with Launch. Often sooner.

07

Written in plain English

For someone who has never run an ad account. Every term is explained the first time. ROAS, for example, is how much you make back for each pound you spend on ads.

Playbook + Launch

We start it with you.

Everything in Playbook, plus your first ad designs and a check at day 30 to see what the numbers said.

  • 6 ad designs, as Canva templates you can edit
  • 2 video ad scripts with shot lists you can film on a phone
  • Your launch plan as a page you click through, with the Monday Check on it
  • A call at day 30 to look at what your numbers said

Prices in pounds, paid in full up front. No contract, nothing renews. The price you see is the price you pay. Made for you, or your money back: if your playbook could have been written for any brand, tell us within 14 days of the day we deliver it and we'll refund the £1,000 Playbook price. On Playbook + Launch, that's the £1,000 Playbook part, not the full £2,000.
