We have product-market fit and a differentiated product. We now want to build a more predictable paid-acquisition engine. What we need We want to begin with a strategic audit and growth plan. The right consultant can then help us implement the strategy and potentially remain involved on an ongoing basis.

Please do not apply if: * Your experience is primarily social-media management * You have only managed campaigns created and directed by someone else * You measure success primarily through impressions, clicks, or platform-reported ROAS * You cannot explain your personal role in the brands included in your portfolio * You intend to hand the project to a junior team after the contract begins This is initially a consulting engagement, but we want someone who is willing and able to stay involved through execution. You may work with a small team, but please identify who will personally lead our account and attend strategy meetings. We're happy to move it full time. Please answer all screening questions with specific numbers and examples. Generic or AI-generated proposals that do not address the questions will not be considered. There'll be added performance bonus of 20%
