More of the right jobs, and the right people to do them.
Jacks Media runs Meta advertising, content production and social media management for trade and service businesses. Two outcomes we actually care about: your diary full of work worth having, and good applicants when you're short-staffed.
Pricing is published on this site, so you don't need a discovery call to find out what it costs. Three month minimum, then month by month.

Who we work with
Built for businesses that sell a job, not a product.
Roofers, sparkies, plumbers, builders, detailers, cleaners, skin clinics, cafes and trade suppliers, mostly around Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills, and remotely right across Australia. If a customer has to book you in, we know how to sell that.
You want more of the right work
Not more phone calls. More of the jobs you actually want: the right size, the right suburbs, at prices you're happy to quote. We build the campaign around the work you want more of, and cut the rest out with targeting and better ad copy.
You want people who'll turn up
Recruitment through Meta reaches tradespeople who aren't sitting on Seek. Same machinery as lead generation, pointed at hiring. It's one of the few things that reliably moves the needle when nobody's applying through the usual channels.
What we do
Four services. Take one, or all four.
They feed each other, since ads need creative and creative needs somewhere to live, but each one stands on its own.
Meta Ads Management
Facebook and Instagram campaigns built for one job: bringing in enquiries, or bringing in applicants. Strategy, lead forms, creative, copy and weekly optimisation, run inside your own ad account.
- Strategy, audience research and campaign build
- Instant lead forms built and tested before launch
- Ad creative and copywriting
- Weekly optimisation and monthly reporting
Content Creation
A day on your site with a proper camera, not a phone. Video and photography of your actual work, edited and delivered ready to post or run as ads, so you stop scraping for something to put up.
- Half day or full day shoots on location
- Professional video and photography capture
- Edited and delivered within 10 business days
- One round of revisions included
Social Media Management
The bit that never gets done. Posting, captions, stories and replying to comments, all handled every week, so your page looks like a business people would trust with a $30k job.
- 12 to 20+ posts a month, scheduled
- Captions written for every post
- Stories and community management
- Monthly analytics reporting
Websites
Fast, mobile-first websites for trade and service businesses, built from scratch rather than assembled from a template. This site is the example.
- Built from scratch, not a page builder
- Mobile-first, fast-loading pages
- On-page SEO fundamentals built in
- From $500, plus $49/month hosting and maintenance
Why us
What's different about working with Jacks Media.
Not a bigger agency with a smaller price tag. A different way of doing it.
The price is on the website
Most agencies make you sit through a call before they'll tell you what it costs. Ours is published in full, including the onboarding fee and what's in each tier. If it's out of budget you'll know in thirty seconds instead of thirty minutes.
Jack shoots the content himself
Not outsourced, not stock, not your apprentice's phone. A Certificate IV qualified photographer on your site with proper gear, shooting the work you actually do. That's what makes the ads look like a real business rather than a template.
You get a portal, not a monthly PDF
Every client gets their own login to see leads, campaign performance, content approvals and reports whenever they like. You're never waiting until the end of the month to find out how it's going. Have a look at what's in it.
We only do Meta, and we do it properly
No Google Ads, no TikTok, no SEO retainer bolted on. One platform, done well, for a type of business we understand. If Google is genuinely the better fit for what you sell, we'll tell you that.
Your client portal
Every lead, every report, every approval, in one login.
Most agencies this size run on email chains and a PDF at the end of the month. Every Jacks Media client gets their own portal instead, built specifically for this: you can see exactly what's happening on any day you feel like looking, without asking anyone.
It's included in your retainer. There's no extra fee for it, and there's no version where you're locked out of your own numbers.
Leads arrive as they happen
Every enquiry from your campaigns lands here the moment it comes in, and you get told about it, so you can ring people back while they're still thinking about the job.
Approve content without a thread of emails
Everything we produce moves through draft, in review, approved, scheduled and posted. You can see where each piece sits and leave a comment on anything you want changed.
Performance pulled straight from Meta
Ad results come directly from Meta rather than being typed in by hand, so the numbers you're looking at are the numbers, and your monthly report is there to read whenever it's ready.
Everything else in one place
Your finished content, your signed agreement, your invoices, and a direct line to message Jack. No hunting back through email for the file you were sent in March.
How it works
Straightforward, and written down.
Every step below is in the agreement you'd sign, not just how we say we work.
We work out the objective
Leads or recruitment, usually not both at once, at least to start. We agree what success looks like: enquiries per month, cost per lead, and the areas you actually service.
Setup and build
We take partner access to your ad account, build and test the lead forms, and set up the first campaigns. Your ad account stays yours. We work inside it, we don't hold it.
You approve before anything runs
Creative, copy and targeting come to you for approval in the portal. We ask for a response within two business days so campaigns don't stall.
We optimise weekly
Budget moves toward what's working, underperforming ads get paused, and new variations get tested. Weekly, not monthly.
You see the numbers
A written monthly report covering spend, results, cost per result and what changes next, plus your portal login to check performance any day you like.
Pricing
What it costs, in public.
All prices in AUD. Jacks Media is not currently registered for GST, so no GST is added. Advertising budget is paid by you directly to Meta and is never invoiced by us.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Is there a lock-in contract?
Three months minimum, then it rolls month by month. After the minimum term either side can end it with 30 days’ written notice. The three months exists because Meta campaigns need time to gather data. Ending at week six tells you nothing useful.
Is my advertising budget included in the fee?
No. Your ad spend is paid by you directly to Meta from your own account, separate from our monthly fee. We never hold, invoice or refund your ad budget, which also means you can see exactly what was spent, in your own account.
Do you guarantee a number of leads?
No, and be careful of anyone who does. Results depend on your offer, your pricing, your service area, your competition, your budget, and how fast you follow up. We’ll tell you honestly what we think is achievable before you sign anything.
Do you only work with businesses in Adelaide?
Meta ads and social media management are run remotely, so we work with trade and service businesses anywhere in Australia. Content shoots need us on site, so those are Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and surrounding South Australia, with travel beyond 30km of our base quoted before booking.
Who owns the ad account and the content?
You do. Campaigns run in your own Meta Ads Manager account, and ownership of finished content passes to you once it’s paid for. Raw unedited footage and project files stay with us unless separately agreed.
How quickly can we start?
Onboarding usually takes about a week: access to your ad account, lead forms built, objective agreed and the first campaign live. If you’re taking content as well, the first shoot is booked around your schedule.
Get in touch
Tell us what you're trying to sell, or who you're trying to hire.
We'll tell you honestly whether we can help and what we'd do first. If we're not the right fit, we'll say that instead of selling you a retainer.
