The Framework

We audit through three
lenses
most agencies ignore

01

Data & Performance

We go beyond vanity metrics to assess the actual efficiency and scalability of your ad spend.

  • ROAS & CPA benchmarking
  • Audience overlap & fatigue
  • Budget allocation vs. performance
  • Attribution & tracking setup
  • Spend efficiency score
02

Culture & Creative

Data agencies don't do this. We assess whether your messaging is culturally resonant and your creative is pulling its weight.

  • Cultural relevance of messaging
  • Creative format & hook analysis
  • Audience-to-message alignment
  • Storytelling effectiveness
  • UGC vs. produced content balance
03

Structure & Strategy

Good creative in a broken structure still loses. We assess the architecture that everything runs on.

  • Campaign & ad set structure
  • Testing methodology
  • Funnel coverage (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU)
  • Retargeting setup
  • Scaling readiness

FAQ

Questions answered

What ad platforms do you audit?

We primarily audit Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) and Google Ads. TikTok Ads audits are available on request for the Full Audit tier. Let us know which platforms you're running when you apply.

Is my data safe?

Yes. We request read-only partner access through the official Meta and Google platforms — no passwords, no full account control. Access is revoked after the audit is delivered. We never share your data with third parties.

How much ad spend do I need to be running?

There's no minimum, but our benchmarks are most relevant for brands spending £3,000+ per month on paid media. If you're spending less than this, the audit can still be valuable — just flag it when you apply and we'll set the right expectations.

Can I upgrade from the £199 score to the full audit?

Yes. If you start with the Benchmark Score and want to upgrade to the Full Audit, your £199 is credited against the £999 price — you'd only pay £800 to upgrade.

What happens after the audit?

The audit is a standalone deliverable — there's no obligation to continue with us. That said, many clients choose to engage Translate Culture for ongoing paid media management after seeing the audit findings. If that's of interest, we'll include a brief overview of how we work together at the end of your report.
