Ad positioning

Ads focus on educational masterclass registration, market commentary and trading fundamentals. Core message: "Learn trading analysis fundamentals and market risk management in our upcoming live masterclass." Financial education is a restricted ad category. All campaigns must follow Meta and TikTok policies, with no income guarantees and no promises of profit. If an ad or account is flagged or restricted

• You will be paid for all setup and hours completed up to that point.
• If the restriction is through no fault of the media buyer, the retainer stays active for up to 30 days while compliance appeals or backup campaign setups are processed.
• After that, continued retainer payments depend on submitting appeals or adjusting the campaign setup to restore active running status.

Requirements

• Proven Meta and TikTok lead-gen results, with case studies showing spend, leads and CPL
• Experience running ads for financial education or trading content, and navigating restricted-category policies
• Experience with landing pages and WhatsApp lead flows
• Based in South Africa
