Events don't fail because of creativity. They fail because of poor planning, weak coordination, missed deadlines, budget overruns, and operational gaps.
I help organizations, brands, executives, associations, and event agencies plan and execute seamless events that deliver exceptional attendee experiences while staying on schedule and within budget.
With over 10 years of experience in marketing communications and event management, I have successfully managed corporate events, conferences, executive meetings, product launches, experiential activations, social celebrations, virtual events, and hybrid experiences.
My expertise covers the entire event lifecycle, from strategy and planning to on-site execution and post-event reporting.
Services I provide include:
✔ Event Planning & Project Management
✔ Conference & Summit Management
✔ Corporate Events & Executive Meetings
✔ Virtual & Hybrid Event Coordination
✔ Event Production & Logistics Management
✔ Vendor Sourcing & Vendor Management
✔ Venue Research & Coordination
✔ Budget Development & Tracking
✔ Event Registration & Attendee Management
✔ Speaker & Stakeholder Coordination
✔ Timeline Development & Run-of-Show Creation
✔ Sponsorship & Partner Coordination
✔ Team Coordination & Operations Management
✔ Post-Event Reporting & Evaluation
What sets me apart is my ability to combine event expertise with modern operational systems.
I leverage tools such as Airtable, ClickUp, Make, Slack, Google Workspace, and project management frameworks to streamline communication, automate repetitive processes, track deliverables, and keep every stakeholder aligned throughout the event journey.
Recent achievements include:
• Managing complex event operations across multiple stakeholders and vendors
• Building automated workflows that reduced manual follow-up and improved team coordination
• Creating event management systems that increased visibility across planning, logistics, and execution
• Leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality event experiences under tight deadlines
Whether you need a strategic event partner, an operations lead, a production coordinator, or a reliable event manager who can own the entire process, I can help bring your event vision to life.

Your event page is live. The ad budget is spent. But the seats are still empty. That's the problem I solve.
I'm an event marketing strategist who has personally driven thousands of ticket sales for live events, multi day conferences, and paid webinars, working alongside my business partner Aliu.
Together we take events from underselling to sold out, using Eventbrite optimization, Meta Ads, and outreach that actually fills seats instead of just generating clicks.
My most recent project with Aliu was full scale marketing and ticket sales for a multi day business conference. We built targeted outreach lists, ran LinkedIn outreach campaigns, sent cold email sequences, and formed partnerships with coworking spaces and local business networks to fill seats. That event sold thousands of tickets, and the strategies we used are repeatable for any organizer trying to grow attendance from scratch or scale an existing event.
Here's what Aliu and I bring to event, webinar, and podcast marketing projects:
Eventbrite optimization and setup. I know how to structure Eventbrite listings so they rank in search, convert browsers into buyers, and integrate cleanly with email and ad campaigns. If your Eventbrite page is live but ticket sales are slow, this is usually the first thing I look at.
Meta Ads for event promotion. I run Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns built specifically for ticket sales and registration, not just generic brand awareness. That means retargeting people who viewed your event page but didn't buy, lookalike audiences based on past attendees, and creative that's built to convert on mobile.
Webinar marketing and registration funnels. Whether it's a single webinar or an ongoing series, I build the promotional sequence around it, email reminders, ad retargeting, partner promotion, and landing page copy that actually gets people to show up live instead of ghosting the registration.
Podcast marketing and audience growth. I help podcast hosts get discovered, grow subscriber counts, and turn listeners into an engaged audience that shows up for launches, live episodes, or paid offers tied to the show.
Outreach and partnership building. A lot of ticket sales come from relationships, not just ads. Aliu and I build targeted contact lists, run cold email and LinkedIn outreach, and set up partnerships with relevant organizations, venues, and networks that can promote your event to their own audience.
We're comfortable working across the full funnel, from the first ad or outreach email all the way through to the day of the event, and we track what's actually converting so budget goes toward what's working instead of getting spread thin across channels that aren't performing.
If you're planning a conference, workshop, webinar series, or podcast launch and need someone who has actually sold tickets at scale, not just talked about strategy, I'd like to hear about your event. Send me a message with what you're working on, your timeline, and where things currently stand with promotion, and I'll let you know how Aliu and I can help and what results are realistic for your goals.
I respond quickly to messages and I'm happy to hop on a call to talk through your event before you commit to anything.

What if the problem isn't your advertising budget... but the person managing your Meta Ads?
Every day, businesses spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on Facebook and Instagram Ads that generate clicks but fail to produce qualified leads, inconsistent ROAS, rising CPA, and campaigns that never seem to scale. The truth is, your competitors aren't winning because they spend more... they're winning because they optimize better.
Meta Ads isn't about boosting posts or launching random campaigns. It's about understanding data, customer psychology, audience behavior, creative strategy, and knowing exactly when to scale or when to stop wasting money.
I'm Suliton Fasasi, a Meta Ads Specialist, Performance Marketer, and Media Buyer with my years of experience helping businesses build profitable advertising systems that generate qualified leads, increase conversions, and scale revenue through data-driven marketing strategies.
I don't just launch campaigns I build complete performance marketing systems that turn advertising budgets into measurable business growth.
My Core Services
⭐ Meta (Facebook & Instagram) Ads Management
I plan, launch, manage, optimize, and scale high-performing Meta advertising campaigns focused on lead generation, customer acquisition, and revenue growth while maintaining healthy ROAS.
⭐ Performance Marketing & Campaign Optimization
Every campaign is continuously monitored and optimized using real performance data. I improve ROAS, reduce CPL, CPA, and wasted ad spend through strategic optimization and performance analysis.
⭐ Audience Research, Targeting & Scaling
I build winning campaign structures using audience research, custom audiences, lookalike audiences, retargeting strategies, and advanced scaling techniques to consistently improve campaign performance.
⭐ Tracking, Meta Pixel & Conversion API (CAPI)
Accurate data drives profitable decisions. I properly configure Meta Pixel, Conversion API (CAPI), event tracking, and attribution to ensure every conversion is measured correctly.
⭐ Funnel & Conversion Optimization
High-performing ads need high-converting funnels. I optimize campaign structures, landing pages, customer journeys, creatives, and conversion paths to maximize lead quality and conversion rates.
Why Clients Choose Me
✔ Performance-focused not vanity metrics
✔ Data-driven optimization and strategic decision-making
✔ Strong experience with lead generation campaigns
✔ Proven campaign scaling strategies
✔ Deep understanding of Meta Ads Manager
✔ Advanced audience targeting and retargeting
✔ Continuous A/B testing and creative optimization
✔ Clear communication and proactive reporting
✔ Reliable long-term partner not just someone who launches ads
The difference between a profitable Meta Ads campaign and one that burns your budget usually comes down to a handful of decisions.
The right audience.
The right campaign structure.
The right optimization strategy.
The right tracking setup.
Get those right, and scaling becomes predictable. Get them wrong, and every dollar works against you.
