I don’t build a team and step back. I stay in the account.
I’m an AI advertising consultant. Running paid ads since 2010. More than 100 accounts. Every single one run by me, for as long as the client works with me.

Here’s how it usually goes.
You find an agency. You get on a call with someone sharp. Knows their stuff. Asks good questions. You sign.
Then you never speak to them again.
Your account goes to someone two years out of uni, who’s also looking after thirty other accounts, and who leaves in six months. Then you get the next one.
*sound familiar?*
I’ve been running paid ad accounts since 2010, and I’ve watched that happen to a lot of good businesses. So I built FoundUB4 the other way round.
The person on the free call is the person who runs your ads.
That’s me. Not a team. Not a “dedicated account manager”. Me, in your account, every week.
I’ve run more than 100 accounts that way: service businesses, coaches and consultants, DTC and e-commerce, health and wellness, B2B and local services. My longest client has been with me more than 16 years.
How I actually work
Not how an agency About page usually reads.
Protect what works
I check what’s performing before I touch anything. Rebuilding a working campaign to look busy is an expensive habit, and I don’t have it.
AI watches. I decide.
AI flags drift in your account every day. I make every decision. It never gets bored. I never stop being responsible.
Honesty over guarantees
I won’t guarantee results. And if I can’t see how to help, I’ll tell you on the free call. Both are a better sign than a promise.
“So what’s the guarantee, Barrie?”
There isn’t one.
I could stick a big shiny guarantee right here. Plenty do. Read the small print, though, and it usually comes with more conditions than a mobile phone contract.
Nobody honest can guarantee your results before they’ve looked at your account. A number promised blind is a guess wearing a suit.
So here’s what I do instead. Before we talk, I look at your ads, your tracking and your page myself. If I can’t see a clear way to beat your current numbers, I’ll tell you on the call. And I won’t take you on.
If I can, you’ll know exactly where the extra customers would come from. Either way, you keep everything I find.
That’s it. No asterisks.
Real accounts. Run personally.
What clients say on Trustpilot. Unedited.
“We have worked with Barrie for the past 6 years, he comes up with some fantastic ideas and really helps to drive your business forward.”
“Barrie was great. He was very friendly, fast and professional. He was very helpful, explaining how to do everything very clearly.”
“The level of service that was provided was fantastic, from the ongoing support and quick communication throughout to provide a resolution to the problem.”
“Been with Barrie for a month now and already he has filled my diary can’t believe how quick it happened. No pressure from him to buy the service either.”
“Barrie took the time to go through everything for me in language that i understood. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it within 1 hour.”
“We have been working with Barrie for over a year now, and I can honestly say it’s been the best business decision I’ve made.”
Straight answers, before you ask
Is it really just you?
Yes. No account managers, no rotating juniors. I stay on every account personally, for as long as you work with me.
What’s your background?
Over 20 years in digital marketing. Running paid ad accounts since 2010, and running FoundUB4 for 15 years. Service businesses, coaches and consultants, DTC and e-commerce, health and wellness, B2B and local services.
What happens if you’re away?
AI keeps watching your account for drift and wasted spend while I’m away, and I make the decisions when I’m back. If that cover doesn’t suit a business with urgent needs, I’ll tell you before we start.
Do you only work with Northampton businesses?
No. I’m based in Northampton and work with businesses across the UK. Everything runs through your ad account, video calls and the phone, with a weekly report.
Do you guarantee results?
No. I’ll show you plainly what is and isn’t working, in numbers. If I can’t see a clear way to beat your current numbers, I won’t take you on.
Want to know if I’m the right fit?
Send me your ad and your landing page. I’ll look at them first, then ring you and tell you straight what I’d change.
Thirty minutes. No pitch deck. No sales team, because there isn’t one.
