Welcome to Elite Media Buyers
I've been helping businesses of all sizes, like yours, get incredible results buying paid media.
It's been a passion of mine for 20 years.
I've spent more than $280 million USD buying traffic on every platform you can think of.
I've generated around $1.7 billion in online sales for more than a thousand businesses.
I've generated more than two million leads across many verticals.
Some of the smartest practitioners in buying media started their careers working for me.
I've worked in-house for a large travel brand.
I've been an affiliate.
I owned (and sold) an affiliate network back in 2009.
I owned (and sold) one of the first pure paid media agencies back in 2006.
I consult for ecommerce retailers.
But this site is not about me, it's about you.
FACT : There Is A Lack Of Quality Training Sources Available
I speak at many conferences around the world.
During breakout sessions I speak to delegates attending.
They tell me there is a lack of quality training available for media buyers.
I speak to people who are struggling to get consistent results.
They've tried a lot of different things, but nothing has moved the needle for them.
They wake up to Facebook Ad account closures, bans, ad disapprovals.
Performance falls off a cliff, "for no reason".
They question their media buying skills and feel like giving up.
I understand how that feels.
That was what things were like for me, when I started out.
There was no rule book or best practise guides or cheatsheets.
There was a small group of people working together, trying to figure things out.
I made lots of mistakes.
At times I would feel overwhelmed.
That's why I decided to dive in to learning everything I could about buying media online.
I would question what I was learning.
I'd action the learnings, confirm they worked all the time and then teach others how to do it.
I spent money on training, attending conferences, mastermind events and private coaching.
But the majority of my money I spent buying traffic and learning on the go.
I discovered what the underlying skills and processes needed to succeed.
And I want to help you, by passing on that knowledge and ensure our industry continues to flourish.
Why Become A Teacher?
I run a growth agency.
The clients we work with are great to work with.
They are all personal friends.
I make a point of visiting them once a year, despite the fact they are all over the world.
My growth agency is completely process driven.
The processes have been well documented.
There are checklists, templates and marketing automation.
I have picked apart the instructions from the platforms we work with, like Facebook and Google.
I've taken their words and analysed them, to understand which bits work for us and which against.
Their best practise is not always my best practise.
I've partnered with Google, Facebook and Microsoft Advertising for many years.
I've built a respect for their way of doing things.
But I operate with a healthy degree of scepticism.
And I want to teach YOU what aspects to accept and which to question.
I Like Helping People
I always go out of my way to help people.
I explain things in great detail.
My wife thinks I give away too much for free.She is 100% right.
Having said that, the reason I give so much away for free is that many people can't afford to hire me.
Having said that, the reason I give so much away for free is that many people can't afford to hire me.
They can't afford to pay my hourly or daily consulting rate.
It's a catch-22.
I realised that a "collective consulting" by way of a training portal would be a better way to help more people.
I want to make it affordable for you to benefit from my knowledge and the smart collective pool of people I will collaborate with, to bring the best people, with the best knowledge.
That might come across as arrogant, but it is not.
Anyone who knows me or has seen me post in Facebook groups knows that I go into a lot of detail and share everything.
I provide actionable tips.
If you are an action taker you will be able to turn your learnings into money.
I do it because I am passionate and want to help you.
I will still be available to hire for 1:1 coaching.
My growth agency (Spades Media) can still be hired for "done for you" strategy and campaign execution.
But, my true North is to help you get the skills to deliver amazing results on your own or in a "done with you" model.
I don't want you to have to pay through the nose for the privilege.
I've helped small businesses and agency owners become bigger businesses.
I've helped launch the careers of many outstanding media buying experts.
But don't take my word for it.

Here are a few things some of my clients (friends) and members I've worked with have said about working with me.
What Can We Say About Jim..
Melanie Mitchell
Jim Banks is a well sought-after advisor, speaker and agency partner in the industry. He has built custom strategies and tactics that I haven't seen at any other agency that will take your performance marketing to the next level that also saves on the amount of time it takes to pull all the data sets together. In addition to being a strong agency partner and extension of your own internal team, Jim is just a terrific person to work with. I would highly recommend!
Craig Paddock
I’ve seen Jim speak at many different conferences over the years and he clearly knows his stuff. Before we launched any campaigns with Jim, we did an extensive audit of our analytics to ensure all KPIs were tracked at a very granular level. So I knew from the start we were going down the right path. His understanding of Facebook advertising is like a seasoned Google AdWords veteran (as opposed to most Social Media Managers whose biggest qualification is the time they spend socialising on Instagram). He’s also just a great guy – always enjoy working with him.
Charlie Calabrese
I've had the pleasure of working with Jim for several years and his experience certainly speaks for itself. But it's more than that, Jim shares his knowledge, teaching others to fish as it were, and wants to better the community of experts. If you have the chance to work with him, don't miss the opportunity!
