Put your name behind accurate paid media advice
Every paidmedia.ca/ article is checked by an experienced Canadian practitioner before it goes live. Join the reviewer team and get credit for the expertise you already have.
What reviewers do
Review drafts in your area
Most reviews take 20 to 30 minutes. We only send drafts that match your expertise, each with a due date, and you can say no to any of them.
Fix what’s wrong
Edit the draft directly: correct facts, update steps for the current interface and add the caveats that only experience teaches.
Put your name on it
Mark the draft reviewed. When it’s published, your name and profile appear on the article.
What you get
- A byline on every article you review, linked to your profile.
- A public reviewer profile with your photo, title, company, LinkedIn and every article you’ve reviewed.
- A place on our reviewers page, which lists the practitioners behind paidmedia.ca/.
- A LinkedIn certification after 10 published reviews: paidmedia.ca/ Certified Expert Reviewer, with your own credential ID and a link anyone can check.
- First pick of speaking and hosting slots at our meetups and online sessions.
- Free 1:1 sessions, early access to new tools and a private group with other senior practitioners.
Who we’re looking for
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience planning and running paid media campaigns.
- Still doing the work: you manage campaigns now, or lead the team that does.
- Deep knowledge of at least one area: Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads, programmatic, measurement or careers.
- Based in Canada, or you manage Canadian accounts.
- French-speaking reviewers are especially welcome.
- Happy to follow our rules on accuracy, independence and promotion.
How it works
- Apply. About 15 minutes: your background, a few details and three short questions.
- We check your credentials. We look at your LinkedIn, your certifications and your answers, and may ask for a 15-minute call. You’ll hear back within two weeks.
- Get your login. Once approved, you get a username, a credential ID and a link to set your own password.
- Review drafts. We email you when a draft in your area is ready. You edit it, then click Mark as reviewed.
- Earn your certification. After 10 of your reviewed articles are published, we send you a one-click link to add the certification to LinkedIn.
The rules, in short
Reviewers never promote businesses, products, tools or clients they’re connected to. No links to your own site inside articles, no affiliate links, and you tell us about any conflict of interest before you review.
Ready to apply?
The application takes about 15 minutes. Have these ready:
- Your LinkedIn profile link
- Links to any certifications, such as Google Ads or Meta
- Time to answer three short questions in your own words
Questions
Is reviewing paid?
Not at the moment. Reviewing is voluntary and flexible: you choose which drafts to take, there are no set hours, and you can step back at any time.
How much time does it take?
Most reviews take 20 to 30 minutes. Many reviewers do one or two a month. We never send more than you’ve told us you have time for.
Why 5 years?
Your name tells readers an experienced practitioner checked the article. Five years of hands-on work is the bar we use so that means something.
I have less than 5 years of experience. Can I still help?
Yes. Join the community, and pitch an article idea on our Write for us page.
Can I review in French?
Yes, please. Pick Français in the application. We especially need reviewers who work in Quebec.
