What this is

Get into one of the most lucrative careers in global e-commerce.

You will sit in the same problems our team solves every week: feed issues, PMax waste, search queries that look good and lose money, and accounts spending $10k+ a day. If you cannot defend a decision on a screenshare, you are not done.

  1. 01

    Account architecture

    How we structure Search, Shopping, PMax, and YouTube so the account can actually scale. Not a template. The reasoning.

  2. 02

    Feeds and Shopping

    Merchant Center, custom labels, CSS, feed hygiene. The part most courses skip and most accounts die on.

  3. 03

    Live account work

    Screenshares on real numbers. You diagnose, you recommend, you get told if you are wrong. Same motion as an Echelonn buyer.

  4. 04

    How a buyer works here

    6-8 accounts. Slack, reporting, client calls, when to push spend and when to stop. The job, not the theory.
