Ready to get your business seen by more people—without blowing your budget?

In this episode of the Five Minute Business Boost, Sam breaks down how to set up your very first Facebook brand awareness campaign with just $150 over three weeks.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between “Awareness” and “Reach” objectives in Meta Ads Manager, and how to pick the right one for your goals
  • How to create authentic, eye-catching ads using short videos or photos that showcase your story, team, or workspace
  • Why a soft call to action (“Follow Us” or “Learn More”) works best for brand building
  • Smart audience targeting tips, including how to use lookalike audiences and Meta’s AI suggestions
  • Pro tips for maximising your budget with automatic placements and ad previews
  • What metrics to track: reach, engagement rate, CPM, and more, plus what “success” really looks like for brand awareness
  • How to use campaign insights to improve your next ad (and grow your audience over time)

If you want your business to be known, remembered, and trusted in your local market, this episode is packed with actionable advice you can use right away.
