👋 Need a Meta Ads specialist who's actually built a business with paid ads, not just managed them? I grew a music school to 850+ students using Meta Ads before selling the business. Now I help brands and local businesses do the same thing: turn ad spend into real, measurable growth. 🌟 Proven Track Record Over the last 10 years, I've personally managed $20,000,000+ in ad spend across e-commerce, lead gen, local services, and B2B. I specialize in Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), with deep expertise in campaign architecture, creative strategy, audience development, and conversion tracking. 🎬 Full Creative Team, One Point of Contact I handle video production and graphic design in-house, so your campaigns get scroll-stopping creative without the back-and-forth of coordinating separate freelancers. Strategy, creative, and media buying all under one roof. 🔑 How I Work You get direct 1-on-1 access to me. No junior account managers, no outsourced work. Full transparency into performance, creative decisions, and optimization moves. I treat your ad budget like it's my own. 💰 ROAS Is Everything Every dollar you spend should come back multiplied. I build campaigns around clear KPIs and optimize relentlessly toward the metrics that actually matter to your business, not vanity numbers. If you want a partner who's been in the trenches as a business owner and knows what it takes to make paid ads profitable, let's talk.
