I'm Bryce. I'll scale your brand online through Meta ads, performance creative, Amazon, TikTok, Google, email, and SMS. I own your full growth stack. Everything. My partner Jack and I run Amazon together. Jack is Expert-Vetted (top 1% on Upwork), with 9 figures in Amazon ad spend under management and $2 to 3 million running every month. We recently took an unprofitable account to a 34% profit margin and cut TACoS from 60% to 15% in the first month. You get both of us in your account every day. Most brands duct-tape together five freelancers who never speak to each other. The ads guy blames the email guy, the email guy blames the website, and nobody owns the number. I own the number. Here's what's different about working with me: You work with me directly. Not an account manager. Not a junior media buyer. The person on the intro call is the same person in your accounts at 9 PM on a Tuesday pushing a new angle live. I'm in your accounts every single day. I treat your budget like it's my own money. Losers get killed fast. Winners get scaled aggressively. You get a weekly report and a call, so you always know what happened last week and what I'm doing next week. I'm available 7 days a week. Slack, text, email, call, whatever works for you. Need me Sunday night before a Monday launch? I'm there. WHAT I DO: - Paid Social. Meta and TikTok, full-funnel, built and managed daily. - Amazon. Full account management and PPC: listings, SEO, A+ creative, and multi-marketplace strategy (US, UK, EU). - Google Ads. Search intent captured and converted. - Email & SMS. Klaviyo flows and campaigns that turn one-time buyers into repeat revenue. - Performance Creative. Hooks, angles, statics, UGC, motion. Brief through production through launch, in-house. - Landing Pages & CRO. Shopify pages and advertorials built for the ad, not bolted on after. - Tracking & Attribution. Pixel, CAPI, and clean reporting so you know exactly what drives revenue. RESULTS I'VE DRIVEN: - Plus Markets: 4.52X ROAS and $113K from $25K spend on Meta, plus 4.56X on Google. Zero sales to a profitable funnel in 6 weeks. - Volvik: 5X revenue growth and an 80% lift in site conversion rate. - Skye Performance: built from nothing. A full rebrand and a rebuilt, conversion-optimized PDP took them from zero online presence and no revenue to profitable, scalable growth. INDUSTRIES: DTC Ecommerce, Sporting Goods, Food & CPG, Beauty & Wellness, Licensed Products. Anyway, that's me. If this feels like the right fit, send a message and let's hop on a quick call. I'll take an honest look at your accounts, give you my real take, and go from there. No pitch decks, no fluff. Just high-converting campaigns, good conversations, and real growth for your brand. Talk soon, Bryce

I help startups and food brands bridge the gap between vision and execution. With a background spanning operations, finance, investor relations, culinary expertise, and writing, I bring a multidimensional approach to building and scaling businesses. Over the past six years, I launched and helped grow a consumer packaged food brand with a thriving subscription base, a strong retail presence, and established partnerships with prominent grocery stores and restaurants.

My efforts led to a 139% increase in wholesale sales and a 340% rise in new accounts.

Alongside operations and scaling, I bring over 11 years of experience as a plant-based chef, with expertise in disease-reversal cooking, raw foods, desserts, and commercial production. My work encompasses recipe development, product testing, nutrition coaching, menu curation, and culinary instruction, providing a unique insight into product innovation and culinary consulting. In addition, I’m a published food and travel blogger with 13+ years of SEO experience. I specialize in writing blogs and articles that rank while sounding human — including editing and humanizing AI-generated drafts.

Whether it’s strategy, systems, or creative development, I bring the expertise, energy, and follow-through to help your venture succeed.
