Track record

I spent the first decade of my career in media agencies, running paid search and paid social for KFC, Cartier, Toyota and Bayer. Large budgets, strict measurement, and no room for guesswork.

The small-medium businesses that needed that discipline most were the ones who couldn't buy it. So I left, and now I run a limited number of Australian accounts myself.

How I work


You'll be working with me. Not an account manager.

The person who reads your search terms is the person who answers your email and writes your report.

I limit the number of clients I accept to keep it that way.

How I got here

  1. 01

    Agency years

    A decade inside media agencies, running paid search and paid social at scale.

    Big-brand accounts

    Large budgets, strict measurement and no room for guesswork.

    The businesses that needed that discipline most could not buy it.

  4. 04

What I never do

Easier to judge a consultant by what they refuse than by what they promise.

  • No percentage of ad spend

    A flat fee, so my incentive is never to spend more of your money.

  • No lock-in contract

    Month to month engagements, without the red tape of an agency contract.

  • No account managers or entry level workers

    The person who reads your search terms answers your email.

  • No reporting theatre

    One page a month, with insights and recommendations explained clearly.

    JB Digital Media delivered exactly the result I was looking for from a digital marketing partner. From digital media strategy through to measurable and accountable delivery that drove high volume sales for construction sector businesses, I could not be happier and would highly recommend services.

    Joe has been great to deal with, always collaborating with us on ideas, and the new look Ads have been very successful. We are in the superannuation sector which is very competitive and requires fresh thinking and approaches. We would definitely recommend working with Joe and look forward to seeing more positive results.
