I’ll be honest with you from the start. Google Ads is a beast. It has hundreds of settings, automation features that change every few months, bidding strategies, audiences, assets and reports. After years of managing accounts for businesses at Mindesigns, I’ve learned that doing it well takes two different skills together. You need to understand...

Before I co-founded Mindesigns, I was an engineer. Engineers are trained to distrust black boxes, and that is exactly what most digital marketing packages are. You pay a fixed monthly fee, something happens behind the curtain, and a report arrives that tells you impressions went up. After seven years of running an agency, reviewing hundreds...

Parents are no longer waiting for open days to decide whether a school feels right.   Traditionally, open days served as one of the primary opportunities for prospective families to visit a school, meet staff, tour the campus, and learn more about the school’s culture and values. For many schools, they were the centrepiece of the...

Written By Omer Bernstein, Head of Marketing and Sales at Mindesigns  Omer has led integrated brand awareness, outdoor advertising, and digital growth campaigns across Australia, helping businesses connect billboard visibility with measurable search demand, lead generation, and retail performance.  My personal hot take: too many discussions around billboard advertising focus only on visuals and clever concepts. After working on integrated outdoor...

Over the last year, we’ve been reworking more of our own campaigns around an omni-channel model. We wanted Mindesigns to be present in more places, but in a way that felt connected and intentional rather than simply adding more platforms for the sake of visibility.  Even with that in mind, we quickly realised that adding more channels often created more marketing...

We were following what had been considered SEO best practice throughout the 2020–2024 era. Our content was organised into topic clusters and pillar pages....

Over the past few years, our agency Mindesigns has built and managed lead magnet campaigns across B2B, finance, and education. We have generated leads for as little as $8 to $9 each and run some campaigns profitably for almost three years without replacing the core asset. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how we...

High traffic with low conversions is often a sign that the audience arrived interested but never felt understood, so they didn’t take action.  That matters more than many marketers realise. According to communication researcher Karen Eber, data alone activates only a small portion of the brain, and much of it is forgotten almost immediately. Stories, on the other hand,...

Most “how we scaled a business” stories skip the boring part. They show you the end results, but not the five years of disciplined, hard work that made it all possible. This article does the opposite. We’re going to hand you the actual blueprint, the same one we at Mindesigns built over a five-year partnership...
