Barrie Smith is a Freelance PPC Specialist, based in the United Kingdom. In this role, I plan, setup, optimize, and ultimately, manage successful Google, YouTube Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Bing Ads accounts for my clients, providing them a positive Return on Investment.
I first setup a Google Ads campaign back in 2004 and have been in the industry ever since, seeing not only Google’s advertising platform greatly expand, but the likes of YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn have all come along since I started!
