What can an advertising mentor offer compared to an advertising consultant?

Typically, advertising consultants charge a high consulting fee. But advertising mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach. This allows you to learn how to manage advertising on your own, eliminating the need for expensive consultants or agencies.

Advertising mentors will focus on:

Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Because mentors are passionate about helping others, they’ll provide you with support and advice for advertising without the steep fees.

Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of advertising platforms.

Actionable Advice: An advertising mentor won’t leave you with a bunch of nonactionable theory. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

What can an advertising mentor do for me?

Most advertising mentors have managed numerous campaigns over their careers. Some have even been working in advertising since the platforms got their start.

These mentors have the real-world experience you need to give your campaigns an edge.

With a mentor’s advice, algorithms and metrics will be less of a black box. You’ll understand what limits your campaign’s visibility, what can get your ads rejected or flagged, and what copy and creatives tend to resonate better with your audience.

For more advanced campaign managers, a mentor can walk you through niche targeting tactics, detailed frameworks to test creatives and ad copy, and how to manage large ad budgets. They can even show you examples of their own campaigns so you can learn from them.

So you can achieve greater ROI with less time, testing, and spending, regardless of your experience level.

Cost Comparison: Advertising Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to advertising consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already investing in ads, costs can accumulate quickly, especially for startups needing ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you get unlimited access to dozens of advertising mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates or additional charges for follow-up calls.

Advertising Consultants:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $100 to $200 per hour, depending on expertise and reputation.
  • Total Cost: Multiple sessions can quickly become expensive, particularly for startups and small businesses.

GrowthMentor:

  • Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.
  • Flexibility: GrowthMentor allows you to connect with different mentors, rather than locking you into an exclusive contract. You can learn from a variety of experts and perspectives.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll receive continuous, personalized guidance from experienced advertising pros, all without the hefty price tag. This means more resources to invest directly into your advertising efforts.

Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

  • They enjoy sharing their knowledge
  • They learn from their mentees
  • They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
  • They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
