I worked at Facebook for a year, and I am a paid media consultant who helps businesses optimize their Shopify e-commerce revenue and lead generation efforts with Facebook Advertising, Pay-Per-Click Advertising (PPC) and Social Media Marketing. I have deep experience with Facebook Ads Manager and Instagram Ads, experience with Google Ads, Twitter Ads and TikTok Ads, as well as a broad organic social media content development and strategy background, and deep experience with generative AI for content creation.
In the past, I’ve run 10-12x ROAS Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns for global sports brands (I led social media for the Boston Celtics and UFC) and have run digital ad campaigns for clients across multiple industries like live event tickets (hockey tournaments, conventions, etc.), DTC/e-commerce, luxury soap, premium pet food (Purina) and pet products, baby furniture, women’s designer clothing, book releases, real estate, designer chocolate, and more. I also have a background in lead generation campaigns and helping marketers understand what their cost per lead should look like on Facebook and Instagram.
My work in-house at Facebook provided me with insider insight into effective ads strategies on the platform. I’ve also worked in the paid media space for a pharmaceutical company and the retail media space for Fortune 500 CPGs.
I’ve managed monthly budgets of up to $1 million on Facebook, and I can work with any business, including start-ups, wedding photographers, real estate agents, small businesses, restaurants, and e-commerce/Shopify stores, as well as local services businesses (cleaning companies, etc.) who need help with lead generation.
Whether you need help with Facebook pixel installation, organizing Facebook Business Manager, lead gen and landing page optimization, or lookalikes and audience retargeting, I can help optimize your ad spend and enhance your tactics. If you just need an extra set of eyes on your account for some pointers, or you need a full-on account audit, I’m your guy. I can also help with Wordpress, Shopify and GoHighLevel integrations with your Meta Ads.
I have deep experience with event marketing through Facebook Ads, including professional sports ticket sales, networking, conferences and conventions marketing via Eventbrite, and webinar marketing via Zoom and other platforms.
I manage Meta Ads for multiple clients and can manage yours as well. I can also help you design ad creative with generative AI tools for rapid creative testing and iteration, including Gemini, NanoBanana, Claude and more.
If you need help in these areas of your social media marketing, Facebook Ads or Instagram marketing, let’s chat.

From Dubai Hustle to Global Muscle
I’ve built brands, broken records, and burned the blueprint.
I fuse AI across every channel — MidJourney for visuals, Runway for video, Jasper for copy, Zapier for systems — building campaigns that scale like algorithms on adrenaline.
I didn’t just “get into marketing.” I dove headfirst into the chaos — fresh out of college, navigating skyscrapers and startups in the concrete jungle of Dubai. Within two years, I was a Director. Not because I followed rules — but because I rewrote them.
For over a decade, I’ve turned underdogs into overachievers and ad budgets into empires. I’ve worked with global brands like Google, LG, Pepsi, and Universal Music — and I’ve sat in the war rooms where billion-dollar decisions are made.
My zone of genius? The sweet spot between savage creativity and surgical strategy.
I don’t believe in fluff. I believe in full-funnel dominance.
I build ads that don’t just sell — they seduce.
I scale lead gen like an algorithm-whisperer.
I craft campaigns that don’t just cut through the noise — they detonate through it like a grenade in a silent room.

Ꝏ Andromeda (Meta Ads algorithm update 2025) expert
I am an artist of my craft! I'm constantly tracking psychological and aesthetic micro-trends (ad copy, offer-framing, creative style) in the market, using them to your advantage before everyone else catches on.
Beyond the big picture, I’m also a technician. I know the micro-steps it takes to achieve long-term success and build the foundation that brings a vision to life.
I only accept a small handful of clients at a time. This gives me the freedom, creativity, and hyper-focus to offer a premium service with unparalleled results.
If you want proven long-term results from someone who treats Meta Ads as both an art and a science, and you’re tired of cookie-cutter marketing that delivers mediocre returns,

Most ad accounts don't fail because of the algorithm. They fail because the offer, message, creative, funnel, and tracking aren't built to work together.
So budget leaks instead of compounding.
I don't just run ads. I fix the acquisition system underneath them.
I'm Darian James, founder of Dash Activate Online. 8+ years and $40M+ in managed spend across Meta, TikTok, and Google. My focus is eCommerce — scaling DTC brands to profitable, predictable revenue — and I bring that same system to service businesses that need better leads, not just more of them.
Recent results:
→ Fashion brand scaled to $1.2M in under 6 months
→ Toy & lifestyle brand at $180K/month, 4x ROAS
→ Towel brand cut CPA 50% and scaled 300% in 90 days
→ Kickstarter campaign did $100K+ in ~20 days
Testing without structure isn't testing - it's guessing with a budget attached. Inside our Dash Creative Lab, I run disciplined creative and offer testing to find what actually moves people from scroll to action, then scale what works and cut what doesn't.
Whether you sell products or book calls, the levers are the same:
→ An offer and message that land
→ Creative + UGC/video that earns the click
→ A funnel and landing page that converts it
→ Tracking that tells the truth
→ Testing that compounds into lower CPA/CPL and stronger ROAS
How I work:
Find where performance is leaking
Build a clear testing roadmap
Fix the offer, message, creative, and funnel
Scale what works, cut what wastes spend
Strong fit if you've got a real business, a proven offer, and enough budget to test properly.
Wrong fit if you want the cheapest freelancer, overnight results with no data, or someone to just push buttons in your account.
Send me your account or landing page and I'll come back with the single highest-leverage fix I'd make. No pitch... Just where your money's leaking.

From an intangible idea to real-world execution, I stay relevant with the latest marketing strategies. I am constantly getting hands-on training with the latest tech to stay on the cutting edge when it comes to marketing. I do this so I can have experienced it myself and not just be speaking theory.
Specialties:
- Web Design
- White Hat SEO
- Video Creation & Marketing
- Social Media Specialist
- IT and Programming specialist
I am not a commissioned salespeople trying to hit a quota. I provide measurable results based on the amount of money spent. I customized marketing strategies to ensure the highest ROI. Also, I share the same values as most business owners which are the fact that if you work hard and you play by the rules you will be successful.
Skills Include
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO) When you enter words on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc and hit enter you will see a list of web results that contain those words. As a user you probably know that you will tend to visit the websites that are at the top of this list and you will perceive it as more relevant to the search. You may be asking, how does one website rank better than others? Because they use powerful web marketing techniques commonly known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I can provide you with expert advice on how to create rich content, metadata and, keywords that helps search engines find and rank your site higher than the millions of other sites and help you get the traffic you need for higher conversion.
Social Media
There's lots of buzz around social media, but is it right for your business? We are a boutique agency whose Principal is actively involved in Social Media. We believe first and foremost that social media is about building relationships.
The new way of communicating has moved from push to pull. Creating a voice in social spaces requires authenticity and providing valuable content that is sharable. That is why it is called social media.... you create media assets that become social objects that hopefully, people will want to talk about and share with their friends and circles of influence.
I can assist with basic and advanced consulting strategies to help you participate in Social Media the right way and provide tools to measure a return on your investment. Initially, your ROI may not be apparent, but through time, and with consistent effort in creating good content, brand awareness will increase.
Web Design
I can assist you with the development of a website design that matches your company's vision and takes it to the next level in terms of ease of use, navigation, and customer response. Also, I can do graphic designs and programming in which I am highly skilled at designing a site that will match your company's branding and enhance your presence on the Web. From the simplest design to the most sophisticated websites available, I can help to create an effective website to help you generate new customers and grow your business online. Web design with personality: It's what I do. In a world of boring corporate websites, I can make yours stand out from the crowd.
Every website comes with a password-protected control panel so you can keep your website updated on your schedule. Simply log in and change your pages!
Mobile Apps
My goal is in helping you succeed in your mobile marketing efforts to increase your foot traffic for your offline business. We all know that Yellow page advertising is dead and you will make more sales through mobile advertising than print advertising (dollar for dollar).
Perhaps you are used to traditional marketing and don't understand how you can make more sales with all these new media. You don't have to be social media savvy or even have a smartphone to implement some of these strategies to increase sales.
Using mobile phones, PDAs, and mobile devices for marketing purposes are what all the top companies are focusing on. Mobile marketing is here now, just like the Internet was, back in the day. How many shares of stock would you own today if you had invested in Amazon, Microsoft, or another company when they first started? Mobile marketing is like your ticket to financial freedom if you act on it now, and not when the rest of the world has already been doing it for ten years.
I can create mobile campaigns through various marketing channels: blogs, websites, business cards, flyers, email campaigns, and social media. Immediate results are realized. Results = sales. Sales = more customers. More customers = more money.

TL;DR
One senior operator running the full acquisition system inside Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok: paid media strategy, ad creative, media buying, tracking, optimization. One closed loop, one person accountable for every advertising dollar.
One flat fee buys full, unlimited service: up to $100K/month in managed ad spend, with a performance component on top. I earn more only when your top line revenue improves.
WHY WORK WITH ME
Companies below $500K/month in ad spend have 3 options to choose from, and all 3 leak money in their own way:
- a hefty agency fee that buys mostly an org chart: senior faces in the sales call, junior media buyers in the ad account, and % of spend pricing that incentivizes them to spend, not to perform.
- the specialist route: stitching together separate vendors where one runs creative, another runs media buying, a third owns tracking, and a consultant hands over a strategy they are never required to execute or answer for. When performance drops, vendors play hot potato with responsibility.
- hire a junior or generalist armed with AI tools: they produce confident, polished, WRONG work faster, with fatal errors invisible to anyone who doesn't have deep subject matter expertise, errors that surface in no time as both ad budget bleed and opportunity cost.
INTRODUCING: THE AGENCY OF ONE
What happens when you take a single individual with deep subject matter expertise and equip them with AI?
- the strategist, the media buyer, the creative production, and the analyst are the same person, and that person is in your ad account every day.
- no bloated agency structure: the fee savings pass on to you.
- kills fragmentation across vendors, closes the feedback loop, and keeps the entire process agile.
And while AI is a force multiplier in my work, ultimately deep human expertise ensures decisions concerning your advertising investment are responsible, controlled, and commercially sound.
TRACK RECORD
Nearly a decade in paid customer acquisition. 350+ ad accounts across DTC and eCommerce, SaaS, digital products and subscriptions, lead generation, and established SMBs, with notable partnerships including companies like Spacer and Pawgo. Managed, planned and/or advised on ad budgets from $30/day to $200K+/month, typically at 3-5X return with unicorn scenarios past 24X. I'm also Meta Partner Verified, certified through Meta Blueprint, TikTok Academy, CXL, and HubSpot.
Clients stay 1.5+ years on average with no contract lock-in. Retention is the one metric that cannot be window-dressed, and the one I'm most proud of.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- Paid media strategy built on your unit economics
- Brand-tailored ad creative, static and motion
- Media buying and structured A/B or multivariate testing across Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, and TikTok Ads
- Compliant tracking and attribution: native Pixel/Conversions API setups, first-party data APIs, HIPAA-compliant APIs etc.
- Ongoing management, optimization, and reporting
FIT
Paid advertising multiplies what already works. It will not rescue a product without market fit, unit economics that can't absorb median industry CPAs, or cashflow operations that cannot survive a test-and-learn cycle.
Strong fit: either validated products with $10K/month or more dedicated to paid media, or budgets for test/learn/validate sprints for funded startups, clear unit economics, and entrepreneurs who value quantifiable quarterly growth vs. weekly performance fluctuations.
Not a fit: bootstrapping with limited ad budget, expectations around fixed daily outcomes (or revenue guarantees), companies looking to hire internally for full-time roles.
NOTE: I only work with a select number of businesses to make sure each partnership receives my full dedication.
If this sounds like a fit, message me. I’m 1 click away!
