Most agencies make you fit their niche. I fit yours.

I'm the media buyer who takes over your Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and email marketing when you're done doing it yourself. Any industry. And you'll know it's working before you pay me anything — every business gets a free written review of their marketing first.

How this actually works

The operating model
01

Timelines, straight — no promises I can't back up

Nobody can guarantee ad results, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What I can tell you: 90 days is the window to see whether an account is moving in the right direction. If it isn't, we sit down and rework the strategy — not wait around hoping it fixes itself.

02

One point of contact, not a ticket queue

You're talking directly to the person running your account, every time — not routed through account managers who route it to the people who actually touch your ads. Creative and copy production get handled by vetted specialists I bring in per project, so you get senior-level execution without a bloated retainer.

03

Testing doesn't stop when something works

Most accounts get tested once, a couple of things stick, and then everything coasts. I don't let accounts coast. Creative, audiences, landing pages, CTAs, offer structure — there's always another variable worth isolating, and coasting is how spend quietly gets wasted.

04

You see the work before you pay for it

Every business gets a written review first, free, whether or not we end up working together. Not a deck about me — a report about you, built from what any customer can already see: your site, your listings, your social accounts, what competitors are running. Recent reviews turned up a business selling tickets to an event that appeared nowhere on its own website, and a Google listing telling customers a shop was closed while its Instagram posted that day's hours. Both were costing the owner money. Neither owner knew.

What's managed

Services
01 / Meta

Meta Advertising

Business Manager and pixel/Conversions API set up correctly from day one, campaign and audience structure built for your funnel stage, retargeting sequenced by where someone actually is in the buying journey, and lookalikes built off your real converters — not guesses.

02 / TikTok

TikTok Advertising

Creative-first strategy built around what actually performs on the platform — UGC over studio polish, native-feeling hooks over hard sells — with constant creative rotation so ad fatigue never quietly eats your CPA.

03 / Email

Email Follow-Up

Most people who inquire don't book straight away, especially when the decision takes weeks or months. Sequences that keep you in front of them automatically: what the work looks like, answers to what everyone asks, photos of real jobs, and a nudge when dates start filling. Written once, runs while you're working.

What the free review actually checks

Before you pay anything
Straight talk: Demic Digital is early — there's no roster of past clients to show off yet, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. What I can do is show you the work before you owe me anything. Below is exactly what gets checked, and every one of these has turned something up on a real business in the last month.
Measurement

Is anything measured at all?

Most sites have no tracking whatsoever, which means every inquiry arrives with no idea where it came from. A booking that started with a post in March looks identical to one from a friend's recommendation. This gets fixed before a dollar is spent on ads, because spending without it is guessing with your money.

Your own site

Do your buttons actually work?

Dead links and social icons pointing nowhere are the single most common thing found, and the cheapest to fix. One recent review turned up six portfolio buttons returning error pages across two different pages — every one of them clicked by somebody who had already decided they were interested.

What Google says

Have you claimed your own listing?

Unclaimed listings, wrong categories, wrong hours. This is usually the most expensive gap and it is free to correct — one business was filed under the wrong trade entirely, so it never appeared for the searches that bring the work it actually wants.

Follow-up

Where do inquiries go, and how fast are they answered?

An inquiry answered the same day books far more often than the same inquiry answered two days later. The best campaign in the world loses to a slow reply, and no amount of ad spend fixes it — so it gets checked before any is spent.

Competitors

What are other people in your trade paying to run?

Meta publishes every live ad, so this is checkable rather than guesswork. An ad that has run continuously for 249 days is making somebody money — nobody funds an ad for eight months out of optimism.

New: is your site even visible to AI?

Free, live, 15 seconds
Straight talk: ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews increasingly decide who gets found before anyone clicks through — and most sites have never checked whether those systems can even see them. Run a real, live check on your own site, free.

Questions before you hire someone

FAQ

Why should we go with you over an in-house hire or an agency?

Versus an agency: you're not account #40 in someone's book, managed by whoever's free that week. Versus in-house: you get senior-level strategy and a bench of vetted specialists on demand, without the salary, benefits, and ramp-up time of a full-time hire. I'm the single point of contact either way — no hand-offs, no hierarchy to navigate.

When will we start seeing results?

Give it 90 days as the real checkpoint. Anything meaningful in digital advertising needs testing cycles to separate signal from noise — anyone promising faster, guaranteed results isn't being straight with you. If 90 days in, the account hasn't moved, that's when we rework the strategy together.

What do you actually do differently?

I don't stop testing once something works. A lot of accounts get optimized once, coast on whatever stuck, and quietly bleed efficiency over time. Creative, audiences, offers, landing pages — there's always another variable worth isolating, and I'd rather find the next 10% than assume the account's "done."

How do you do all this on your own?

Automation handles the research and first-pass analysis — which is why every business gets a full written review before paying anything, something a traditional agency can't afford to do because it would cost them days of someone's time per prospect. Production work like creative and copy goes to vetted specialists per project. I stay on strategy, the account itself, and every conversation with you. What you get is senior attention without paying for a team you don't need.
