An agency's commercial model is built around managing spend; independent audits provide objective, top-down transparency you can't get from inside the relationship. - Will this damage our agency relationship? No — the best agencies welcome independent validation. Recommendations include implementation guides for your existing team or agency. - How long does an audit take? Campaign Audit 1–2 weeks; Full Digital Audit 3–4 weeks; Strategic Overhaul 6–8 weeks. - What if you don't find any waste? On the Campaign Audit, if savings don't exceed the fee, the engagement is free. - How much does it cost? Fixed-price proposal after the discovery call, based on ad spend and number of platforms; typically a fraction of one month's recovered spend. - Who does the work? You work directly with David Gordon — not a junior analyst. ## Contact - Email: david@gordonstrategics.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-g-b89b4632/ - Book a discovery call: https://calendly.com/david-gordonstrategics/discovery-call
