Ads Foundation FAQs
-
Ads Foundation is a 6-week live course that walks you through everything involved in running your own paid ads on Meta and TikTok, all the way from setup through to launching and reading your results. By the end, you'll have live ads running for your business.
-
Any skill level is welcomed regardless or whether you've never touched an ad account or you've dabbled and want to sharpen your approach. Sessions are designed so complete beginners and people with some experience both get value. We will have more advanced courses beginning later in the year. Please reach out if you would like more information on these.

Your ad accounts and budget should be ready to go before day one, so we can hit the ground running from week 1. As a guide, plan for a minimum of $500 for the month per platform, ideally $1,000, to give your ads enough room to gather meaningful data.

Sessions are recorded, but recordings aren't sent out automatically. If you can’t make a session just reach out and I can send you the replay.
