With a mentor. You or your marketer set up the ads, and Igor and the team review and guide. Faster than learning from scratch, cheaper than an agency.
Agency. We run the ads for you: a one-time audit for 221 dollars, one-time setup for 684 dollars, management from 5,000 dollars; a specialist quotes the exact price after the review. Right when the budget lets you delegate.
