    Your Meta Ads Playbook Is Broken | Here's What Works Now

    Business owners: Do you want systems & strategy to scale with clarity and confidence? We provide advisory and done-for-you execution for companies doing at least $250K per year 👉🏽: https://merakairosmedia.com/ Many businesses find their paid ads aren't working because they're stuck using outdated tactics. This video explains why your meta ads might be failing and how to implement a more effective paid ads strategy for your online business. Learn the business strategies you need to grow your business and stop relying on an outdated playbook. If you’re new to my channel, I’m Christian Graham, co-founder of Merakairos Media, a full funnel agency & The MK LAB, the #1 creative content studio and event hub in San Diego. In short, we scale brand authority with systems so that high performing leaders can steward more and stress less. I’ve personally built 3 businesses with 50-100% equity to multiple 6 figures and as a company have served and scaled close to 100 brands and businesses from start ups to 8-figures in revenue. You can google or ChatGPT more about me and my businesses if you desire to confirm what I’m saying. But long story short, here’s what it took… At 16, launched my first 5-figure company, Graham’s World Famous E-Juice, failed. At 17, full-time C student at SDSU and aerospace process-improvement employee. At 18, swing traded stocks while DJing and barbering as side hustles. At 23, became a father before graduating, entered Fortune 500 project management as an intern for “security” and was promoted to full time permanent by fixing a $400,000 system, then quit after four months. At 23, liquidated everything to bootstrap a $225K+ restaurant, SMACK’N Guamanian Grill. At 25, got married, had our second daughter. At 27, systemized the restaurant to work four hours a month and earn $40-50k/month launched The MK LAB, my creative content studio & event hub. At 28, launched MK Media, had our third daughter and lost $150K+ to a gambling addiction. At 29, exited from my restaurant. Today, I scaled my agency and creative studio helping brands scale impact, income, and influence through their unique authority, offer, and expertise so they can steward more and stress less. Truly I say, your adversary prowls around like a roaring lion, desiring to kill, steal, and destroy the mission, assignment, and purpose you have in and through your life.  But you have a responsibility to SOW and SCALE Your SEEDS. Your story matters. Write it down. And share it.  Lastly, if you want true freedom: Seek God, Set Godly Goals, Serve Others With Your Gifts and Expertise, Surrender The Outcome, and Steward Your Mission, Assignment, and Purpose.  I’m here to shepherd, lead, and teach to the best of my ability every step of the way! Steward More, Stress Less! Let’s GROW!
