šŸ‘‡ CHECK MY PORTFOLIO šŸ‘‡ Hey, I’m William. I’ve spent 12 years as an entrepreneur and creative. I’ve worked with global brands as well as small businesses. I combine creative strategy, AI systems, and performance marketing experience to help brands produce better ad creative and content faster. šŸ”¶ Career Highlights šŸ”¹ Built an acquisition funnel generating $400K in revenue and 118 B2B clients šŸ”¹ Solo Creative Strategist for 7 figure performance marketing agency (38+ ad creatives/month) šŸ”¹ Consulted major CPG brands on UGC, educational content and review generation šŸ”¹ Worked with an advertising agency under the WPP umbrella. šŸ”¹ Built content and marketing strategies for 5+ brands across multiple industries šŸ”¶ What I Do šŸ”¹ Creative Strategy and Research: I analyze your ad library, competitors, audience, and organic content to identify what's working, what's missing, and what to test next. I deliver strategic creative briefs, campaign concepts, and a creative roadmap with research-backed ideas organized by audience, angle, format, and funnel stage. Whether it's paid media or organic content, your team always has a pipeline of fresh, diverse concepts ready to execute. šŸ”¹ Ad Creative and Production: I write detailed creative briefs with scripts, hooks, shot lists, and visual references for video. I then manage your creators, editors, and designers through execution, acting as your creative quarterback to make sure every asset aligns with your objectives and brand. For static and AI-producible formats, I can deliver finished assets myself. šŸ”¹ AI Systems Engineering: I design and build custom AI automation systems, agentic workflows, and AI employees that handle repetitive, high-volume tasks so your team can focus on higher-value work. My specialization is creative and marketing operations: ad analysis, competitive intelligence, batch image generation, content research, and production pipelines. If a human is doing it manually and repeatedly, I can probably build an AI system to do it faster, cheaper, and at scale. Tools: Claude Code, Antigravity, N8N, Gemini, Codex, Perplexity, and more šŸ”¹ AI Content Creation: I produce high-quality static ads, product imagery, lifestyle visuals, UGC-style content, and AI-generated video tailored to your brand strategy. Your brand gets a steady stream of on-brand assets ready for ads, social, e-commerce, and digital platforms. Tools: Weavy, Nano Banana, Midjourney, Flux, Kling, Runway, Veo, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, MakeUGC šŸ”¶ How I Work For creative strategy and content: I'm research-first. Every engagement starts with a deep dive into your existing creative, ad performance, competitors, and audience before I touch a single asset. From there I build a creative roadmap: an organized library of concepts mapped by audience, angle, format, and funnel stage, prioritized by what's most likely to move the needle. Then I deliver detailed creative briefs and begin producing assets. Every month I review what performed, retire what didn't, and add fresh concepts based on new data and research. I work month-to-month with no lock-in contracts. Communication happens through Slack with 24-hour response times on business days. For AI systems builds: every project starts with a discovery call where I map your existing processes, understand your objectives, and identify where manual, repetitive work is costing you time and money. From there I design a custom solution, whether that's an agentic workflow, an AI employee, or a full automation pipeline, and send a fixed-price proposal with clear deliverables, timeline, and milestones. šŸ”¶ Skills and Expertise Creative Strategy, Ad Creative, Meta Ads, Facebook Advertising, Performance Marketing, Creative Direction, GTM Strategy, Growth Strategy, Go To Market, AI Automation, AI Agents, Agentic Workflows, AI Content Creation, AI Image Generation, AI Video Generation, UGC Content, Content Strategy, Prompt Engineering, Competitive Analysis, Market Research, Creative Briefs, Campaign Development, Automation Systems, N8N, Make, Zapier, Claude, GPT, Midjourney, Flux, Kling, Runway, Weavy, ElevenLabs, HeyGen

The Short Version: Creative director and fractional CMO for 7-9 figure eCom brands with 4+ years of eCom and media buying experience. Direct response is my world. I leverage consumer psychology and awareness to create ads that don’t just sell—they scale. Over $5M in ad spend, 20+ clients served. The Long Version: Let me guess—you’re throwing ads at the wall, hoping something sticks. Or maybe you’re stuck, scaling up only to see your CPA skyrocket. I’ve seen ad accounts spending $30K+/day, and trust me, what they’re doing might surprise you. The truth? Intent + volume = scale. High CPMs? It’s not your account, it’s your ads. Inconsistent results? A winning creative will keep you hitting your KPIs, even on off days. So how do I fit in? If you’re constantly making losing ads, you’re probably making the same mistake over and over. You need to track, analyze, and dive deep into what’s working and what’s not. Get back to the basics—market desire, persona, awareness stage. Testing and iterating gets you closer to a winner. It’s a process of cutting out the bad to find the good. Here’s the truth: The market is flooded with lookalike brands. Your customers can smell an unoriginal pitch from a mile away. I don’t just create ads—I build strategic frameworks that tap into pain points your competitors are missing. What you won’t hear from most "creative experts": 80% of your competitors are using the same 3-4 hooks they copied from each other. Most brands waste budgets because they don’t match the creative tone with customer awareness. A differentiated strategy is worth 10x more than any small targeting tweak. Scaling isn’t about finding a lucky winner—it’s about creating a repeatable system. When I work with clients, we build a creative matrix that maps customer journey touchpoints, crafts a unique brand voice, and creates modular assets that can be optimized. The result? Ads that don’t just perform—they compound over time. If you’re serious about hitting $100K+ days, you need more than just a freelancer pushing out pretty pictures. You need someone who understands consumer psychology and knows how to turn it into scalable, high-converting creative. Don’t believe me? Check out my reviews. Let’s chat. Aymen

My last client scaled from 1.2x to 4.5x ROAS and cut CPA by 35% in under 30 days. I'm a DTC Creative Strategist specialising in AI-powered ad creatives for Meta and TikTok. I think like a strategist and execute like a production team: research, hooks, scripts, and finished ads in one place. Native German & English. Blackmagic Certified. Portfolio below. Here's how I work: → Research: I mine your audience's exact language from Reddit, reviews, and competitor ads. Hooks come from what real customers say, not what sounds good in a brief. → Creative Strategy: Every ad starts with a hypothesis. Who is this for, what do they believe, and what's the one thing that makes them stop in 1.5 seconds. No guesswork. → AI-First Production: Full pipeline using Kling, VEO, Higgsfield, NanoBanana, and ElevenLabs integrated into DaVinci Resolve. Real footage plus AI assets. Short-form 15 to 60 seconds, VSLs, all formats and exports included. → Hook Testing: Multiple hook variants per creative, built for rapid iteration. I read the data and rebuild what isn't working. → European Market Edge: Native German and English means I cover DACH and global markets. Lower CPMs, fresh audiences, most competitors aren't there. Why clients choose me: I prioritise cost per purchase over aesthetics. Fast turnaround, agency-level communication, no hand-holding needed. If you're running DTC ads and your creative isn't converting, message me with your brand name and monthly ad spend. I'll tell you in one reply what I'd change first. šŸ”§ DTC Creative Strategy | AI-Powered Video Production | Direct Response Advertising | Meta & TikTok Ads | UGC Ad Creatives | Hook & Script Development | Ad Creative Testing | DaVinci Resolve | DACH Market | Bilingual DE/EN
