How the program runs

A program designed to embed capability.

01
Assess the baseline

A skill assessment benchmarks each person's level and goals. Where mixed teams train at different levels, it places each cohort and shapes the curriculum before anyone enters a room.

02
Tailor to your stack

Content built on your Google Ads accounts, your KPIs, and your campaigns, directly applicable to each person's day-to-day role.

03
Deliver live, hands-on

Live, interactive sessions with working exercises, real-time Q&A, and application tasks between sessions.

04
Embed the capability

A post-training assessment demonstrates measured uplift, with results you can put in front of leadership. Session recordings, take-home SOPs and templates, and 30 days of follow-up support keep the new practice compounding.

Programs by level: placed by the assessment

The baseline assessment places each cohort. Every module trains on your accounts, against your own campaigns. The sequence flexes with the results.

Build a Wider Program

Each pathway is a defined program, with one assessment baseline, sequenced modules, and one measured outcome.

Marketing Activation

GA4 + Google Ads: measurement through to campaign structure, attribution, and audience activation. For teams judged on revenue, where the measurement and the media decisions have to hold together.

Measurement Foundations

GA4 + Google Tag Manager: the platform and the tracking layer that feeds it, in one program. Most teams need this pairing first, because GA4 reporting is only as reliable as the tracking that feeds it.

Organization-Wide Rollout

Sequenced cohorts across marketing, ecommerce, and analytics teams, and across markets. An executive briefing aligns leadership, then practitioner modules run by depth, to one shared activation standard.

Full-Stack Analyst

GA4 + BigQuery + Data Studio: from interface to raw data access to automated reporting. For teams whose questions have outgrown the interface, and whose reporting still runs on manual exports.

Marketing Activation

GA4 + Google Ads: measurement through to campaign structure, attribution, and audience activation. For teams judged on revenue, where the measurement and the media decisions have to hold together.

Organization-Wide Rollout

Sequenced cohorts across marketing, analytics, and product teams, and across markets and time zones. An executive briefing aligns leadership, then practitioner programs run by role and level, to one shared measurement standard.
