    paper Building Paid Media Infrastructure from Scratch (Tracking, Campaigns, Funnel Setup)

    Built a full paid acquisition system from scratch for a business with no prior digital advertising infrastructure.

    This included setting up advertising accounts, implementing tracking (GA4, conversion events), and designing a complete campaign structure aligned with the customer journey.

    I developed audience targeting frameworks, created prospecting and retargeting campaigns, and ensured proper data tracking to support optimization and future scaling.

    The result was a fully functional acquisition engine with clear visibility into performance and a strong foundation for ongoing growth.

    paper Scaling Paid Acquisition Across Google & Meta (Multi-Channel Strategy & Optimization)

    Led full-funnel paid acquisition strategy for multiple high-spend client accounts, managing six-figure monthly budgets across Google Ads and Meta.

    The main challenge was inconsistent performance across channels, inefficient budget allocation, and unclear visibility into what was actually driving conversions.

    I restructured campaign architecture across prospecting and retargeting, implemented a clear funnel-based approach, and introduced structured testing across creatives, audiences, and bidding strategies.

    I also improved tracking and reporting to better connect campaign performance to business outcomes, enabling more accurate decision-making and budget allocation.

    As a result, we achieved improved efficiency across accounts, including stronger ROAS, reduced CPA, and more stable, scalable performance.
