Hi, I'm Stuart Walker, a performance marketing specialist with 4.5 years managing SEM and Paid Social campaigns across WA Government, tourism, and commercial clients. I translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations and maintain long-term client relationships while staying hands-on with day-to-day campaign optimization. I bring strong technical build capability, having developed AI-assisted tools including Chrome extensions, Google Ads Scripts, and Excel add-ins at IPG Mediabrands, and now applying the same methodology to web development and workflow automation using Claude Code. I'm comfortable with both the daily grind of optimization and shaping where the industry is heading.
