About

Hi, I’m Joao Lucas Vivas. I’m a media buyer focusing on profitable growth for DTC brands, with over four years of experience managing paid media and Meta Ads campaigns. I excel at testing creative angles, scaling thoughtfully, and maintaining strong budget discipline to maximize ROAS.
I thrive on turning data into action. I’ve built dashboards and reporting to give clients clear visibility into spend, CPA, ROAS, and blended metrics, and I’ve refined testing frameworks to reduce CPA and CAC while improving attribution and overall efficiency.
