The problem with most ads support

In-house teams get tunnel vision. Agencies protect their retainer. You’re left wondering: ‘Are these bids right? Why is that keyword wasting spend? Should we expand to new audiences?’ I come in as a peer strategist, not a vendor trying to up-sell you.

Consulting scope

Who this is for

You’ve got someone running ads—maybe in-house, maybe a junior at an agency—and you know something’s off. Or you’re sharp and want to sense-check decisions. This is for founders and marketing heads in Willington, Crook, Durham and the wider County Durham region who want a senior voice in the room.

No fluff, just insight

I won’t tell you everything’s fine if it isn’t. I’ll spot the real problems—wasted budget, tracking gaps, creative exhaustion—and give you a priority list to fix.

How fractional consulting works

  1. Deep auditI review campaigns, audiences, keywords, creative, tracking, and competitor landscape
  2. Strategy deckWritten findings, priorities, recommended changes, and rationale for each
  3. Ongoing callsWeekly, fortnightly, or monthly—your choice—to review performance and guide decisions

Pricing and commitment

Starts at from £300/month depending on scope and depth. Some clients need 4 hours/month; others prefer a single quarterly deep-dive. We’ll agree hours and cadence on a call—no surprise invoices.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work alongside our current agency or in-house team?

Yes, that’s the whole point. I report to you, not to them. We co-operate on big moves and strategy, but you hold the steering wheel.

What if you spot issues my current team missed?

I tell you directly. It’s not about blame—good teams miss things when they’re in the weeds. I’m here to surface what needs fixing.

Do you work with Willington and County Durham businesses specifically?

Yes. I work UK-wide, but I know the local market—competitor landscape, regional audience quirks, trading patterns. Helps me give better advice.

What commitment do you need?

None beyond the month you’re in. We discuss cadence—how often you want to talk—and adjust as needs change. No lock-in.

Can I switch to full management later?

Absolutely. Fractional often evolves into done-for-you when you see the value. Or you stay fractional—your call.

How are hours tracked and billed?

We agree a monthly retainer for a set number of hours (e.g., 4 hours/month). If you use fewer, you get credit. If you need more, we talk before overrunning.
