What Others Are Saying

“After working with Kerry Fitzgibbon, we doubled our leads”

GF Oats had great lead magnets but was struggling to generate leads, and previous Facebook marketing agencies hadn’t delivered results. After working with Kerry Fitzgibbon, the business doubled its leads, increased the average customer spend, and achieved more than 150% growth in sales, all through Kerry’s proven Facebook Ads strategies.

Kylie Martin - GF Oats

“Packed with actionable steps and incredible value”

I attended Kerry Fitzgibbon’s one-day workshop and left with so many actionable steps that I was floored by the value, even from the free workshop. Upgrading to the VIP offered even more. Kerry explained everything clearly and gave practical, relevant tips for both brick-and-mortar and online businesses. The full day was well worth the investment of time, and I’ll be coming back for more.
