Someone once asked me, “Does ads work if the budget is small?”

Instead of arguing, I tried it.

I ran a school admission awareness campaign with just $10. No tricks. Just basic targeting, simple creatives, and watching the data.

End result? 173K+ reach and 188K+ impressions.

That’s why I like this work. It’s not about big budgets. It’s about using your head and making every taka count. Still learning. Still testing.

This is ambiguous. What was the brand? What was the message? What was the content? What were the platforms (if anything other than basic Meta and search)

$10 might translate to those reach and impression numbers in a NY, LA, or CHI, and that’s a BIG “might”. But I have trouble envisioning it in mid-markets.

What if you got a round peg and a square hole?

If it’s the wrong fit, no amount of budget helps. Ads just push what’s already there.

Why does this read like a LinkedIn post written by AI?

I think smaller budgets and smaller brands Go well together. When you’re working with a smaller brand, the expectations are lower. When you’re working with a larger brand and a larger budget I feel like you have to hit some wow numbers in order to keep the client happy.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

What does everyone else think?

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
