Barry is a top expert when it comes to Meta Ads. With an incredible kindness and objectivity, he is able to really give you very deep insights about what is your problem, how to solve that and how you can avoid those mistakes again / how to predict the best moves you can do to let your Meta Ads becoming even better. This is the 3rd time I do a consultation with him, and everytime my ads perform better and better and better. An investment that is 100% worth it.

Building Ads With Barry
After our call, I shifted the brand positioning, leaned heavily into social proof as you suggested, and A/B tested the landing page. Last month we hit our all-time profit record 🚀 Now I’m focusing on going after the bigger guys! Excited to keep building momentum heading into Q4!

Barry was incredibly helpful with helping me navigate the current issues I was facing. My questions were super generic, random and almost elementary but he was able to guide me to where I needed to be. He helped me change my perspective and frame around how to think about the true function of landing pages via paid ads. Anyone in the DTC, ecom, marketing, FB ads space should book a call and chat with Barry. I appreciate my session with Barry so much. The ROI of the call is truly limitless. If you're reading this and thinking about booking time with Barry, do it. Simple.

Barry is excellent. He was able to jump into our Meta ad account and share quick tips on how to improve our performance. The $500 we spent will help us make an extra $50k / month in new revenue, an incredible ROI. Looking forward to working with Barry again soon!

Barry is awesome! We’ve worked with him twice now and I can honestly say we get so much value out of the calls. You can legit talk to him for hours about ads! So grateful for his insight! If you are thinking about working with him stop thinking and just pull the trigger! Best money we spent in regards to our ads setup and maintenance!

Barry is the real deal. I had a few recommendations to chat to Barry, but what I can say is that he exceeded our expectations. We ended up going for longer because of the immense value Barry was providing us. If you're wanting to get the lowdown and top advice on paid media, Barry is the guy. Would recommend him anytime.

In a universe where everyone is an “expert” and it’s hard to know who to trust, Barry is a voice of reason and a reliable source of true expertise when it comes to ad creative, performance media and navigating through an ever evolving universe. He also just happens to be an awesome guy to connect with. I highly recommend seeing how he can plug into whatever business you’re in – he’s invaluable.

My call with Barry was very diagnostic and tactical. Barry took the time to ask questions and understand the situation we're in with regards to paid advertising on Facebook. We then jumped into the Ads Manager where Barry provided very detailed and specific advice. 10/10 would recommend!

Barry is a master when it comes to CRO but also for congruency of the funnel. He has a full funnel approach and he gave me tons of smart insights that I didn't think about. I really love his 360 view and basically the way he sees ads, that was an amazing call and I'm planning to book another one very soon, thank you Barry!

My session with Barry was extremely valuable and an EXCELLENT use of my meager credit allowance. He had very specific feedback, critiques, and ideas to test going forward. He was also very generous with his time and a joy to speak with. Will absolutely be booking with him again.

This is my second session with Barry, and like the first, he took the time to understand what I was looking for and returned actionable direction and next steps. The dude really cares. He wants you to succeed. His unfiltered perspectives cut through the fluff for an incredibly insightful experience.

I was looking for advice regarding a problem I was facing (FB testing at lower purchase volume) and Barry was able to give me really helpful advice. I was looking to have a discussion outside of 'best practices' and that's what I got. He doesn't act like he knows everything and that was my reason for choosing Barry in the first place – I can tell how he thinks and I really resonate with how genuine he is.

Thanks Barry, I found the time spent very helpful. Barry addressed my questions with responses from someone in the trenches dealing with similar issues everyday. It’s better to spend the money on a genuine expert than taking guidance from someone you can’t be sure they know Facebook ads best practice. I’m taking away a few solid suggestions that should make a big difference to my ad account.

Barry gave me some of the best and most actionable advice I've ever been given. He was super generous with his time and his knowledge. If you can't get the value out of this call, then I don't know what you're doing.
