What you will be able to do after

We write the outcome first, then build the course backwards from it. Read the six lines below. If none of them is on your job list, skip this track.

Build a media plan

Split a fixed budget across search, social and display. You defend each line with a reason, not a hunch.

Launch a clean account

Set up campaigns, ad groups and conversions the way an auditor would want to find them.

Write ads that survive a test

Draft hooks, angles and offers. Then run them head to head and read the result honestly.

Control cost per result

Bid, cap and pace a budget. You learn where money leaks and how to shut the leak off.

Brief a creative batch

Turn one idea into a set of statics and video cuts. Creative volume is the lever most buyers ignore.

Report like a buyer

Show spend, results and the decision you made. Your manager or client sees the logic in one page.

The track, module by module

Six topic areas cover the paid side of marketing end to end. Take the whole track in order, or take the one channel you were hired for.

Pick the level you are actually at

Three steps, one line. Start where your work starts, then move along it.

  1. Beginner

    First campaign live

    You have never run ads, or only boosted a post. You finish with one live campaign and a tracking setup that works.

  2. Specialist

    One channel, deep

    You run ads already. You pick search or social and go deep on structure, bidding, creative testing and reporting.

  3. Advanced

    Budget and mix

    You own a budget. You plan across channels, set the testing calendar and brief the people who build the ads.

Open the full learning paths

Before you enrol

Five questions we get most often about the paid media track.

Do I need ad spend to take the course?

No. The assignments are built so you can do them on a small test budget, or on the case files we give you.

Which channel should I start with?

Start with the one your job needs. If you have no preference, paid search teaches account logic fastest.

Is this theory or hands-on work?

Hands-on. Each module ends with a brief. You build plans, accounts, ad sets and reports you can reuse at work.

Who teaches these courses?

Practising media buyers. Their background sits on the course page, so you can judge it before you enrol.

Can my team take it together?

Yes. Team seats put a marketing team on one shared path, with a manager view of progress.

Watch one module. Then decide.

The opening module is free and takes about as long as a coffee. You will see the pace, the tools and the instructor before you pay a thing.
