I’m Mike, the person behind The Ad Man. For over 6 years, I’ve helped brands grow by focusing on what actually moves the needle — strong fundamentals, clean data, and relentless testing. I don’t chase trends or vanity metrics. I build systems that convert, scale, and hold up over time. If you want a strategic partner who treats your ad spend like their own, you’re in the right place.

I’m opening up a few $250 Digital Ad Performance Audits this week.

I’ll review your Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, or CTV campaign performance and give you a clear breakdown of:

what’s working
where spend may be getting wasted
what needs to improve
what I’d prioritize moving forward

We can look at Memorial Day weekend, the last 30 days, YTD, YoY, or a specific campaign/promo period.

Read-only access or report access is all I need.

Message me “AUDIT” if you want me to take a look.

Most people think ads = creative.

The video, the image, the headline… that’s what gets all the attention.

But that’s only one piece of it.

Advertising is really about distribution —
who sees your message, how often they see it, and whether it’s reaching the right people.

You can have great creative… but if it’s not getting in front of the right audience, it won’t perform.

And on the flip side, even solid (not perfect) creative can work really well when the distribution is dialed in.

Creative matters — but it’s not the whole game.

If your ads aren’t working, don’t just shut them off — figure out where the problem actually is.

Most people skip this step and start changing everything at once.

Instead, break it down:

If your CPM is high → your audience might be too small or too competitive
If people aren’t clicking → your message or creative isn’t resonating
If they’re clicking but not converting → your landing page or offer is the issue

Each part of the funnel tells you something.

You don’t fix performance by guessing — you fix it by identifying where the drop-off is and making the right adjustment.

There’s a lot that goes into it, but when you look at it piece by piece, it becomes a lot easier to solve.

I’ve been running ads for businesses for over 10 years, and one thing I realized is not everyone needs full monthly management.

Some people just want help figuring out what’s wrong, launching their first campaign, or getting everything set up properly.

So I created 3 simple ways businesses can work with me depending on where they’re at.

Happy to answer questions if anyone needs help getting their ads running.

You have to think about what’s happening after the click as well.

Boosting a post ≠ running a strategy.

Boosting is simple.
Structured campaigns are intentional.

Boosting:
• Limited control
• Basic targeting
• Surface-level results

Real ad structure:
• Funnel stages
• Custom audiences
• Conversion optimization
• Strategic scaling

Boosting isn’t wrong.

It’s just not a growth strategy.
