If you're looking for a Performance Marketer/Media Buyer with 5 years of experience or more that understands how to turn platform metrics into tangible business results for clients, I'm your guy. One of my recent achievements includes scaling a SaaS client acquisition campaign from an initial $14,000 to over $285,000 in monthly ad spend in just 13 months, which contributed to over $31 million in new contract value revenue for the business. This SaaS company has been with me for over 2 years & I'm still working with them till today! [shoot me a message saying "SaaS," and I'll send you their case study!] I’m currently managing monthly budgets of $90K–$100K across Meta & TikTok. From time to time I run Lead Gen PPC campaigns on Google & Microsoft (formerly Bing ads) for local service businesses. As a media buyer in 2025, my focus is to develop a comprehensive creative strategy that truly resonates, ensuring that my client's ad creatives uniquely speak to the desires, needs, and pain points of each respective customer avatar in my target audience, not just a small fraction. This approach goes beyond simply getting clicks and sales on ads; it's about building meaningful connections that convert. Most creative teams fail because they either skip or don't fully understand the different customer avatars in the market for their product/service (ICPs). Understanding your target customer is critical to a successful creative strategy. Once you understand why people buy from you, you'll never run out of creative ideas or ad angles/hooks. Because the best way to craft ad angles is to craft them based on your customers; that way they can resonate and engage better with your creatives (The number #1 trick to reducing CPA). These are the ad creative types currently outperforming in 2025: Founder-led ads Reverse psychology ads - works because they're controversial. (e.g., Warning! Don't buy this product.) Fake Podcasts Ads Industries l've done work for: SaaS, E-commerce & Local service businesses. What l bring to the table: ☑︎ GA4, Meta Events Manager, TikTok Events Manager ☑︎ Conversion API setups (server-side tracking) ☑︎ Data-driven creative testing frameworks ☑︎ Full-funnel campaign builds (TOF, MOF, BOF) ☑︎ Ad copywriting + creative direction ☑︎ Landing page CRO insights (to boost ROAS) ☑︎ Reporting dashboards (GHL, GA4, Looker Studio) Let's scale your business together. I dabble into a little bit of social media management too. You can find the projects I've worked on below ⬇️.

I am a Johannesburg-based copywriter, content marketer, and e-commerce store owner, specializing in TTL copy for SEO/digital marketing purposes. Blockchain, crypto/DeFi, fintech, trading & investment, business, as well as scientific and environmental topics are my fortes. I also excel at website copy and specialized content projects, bringing many years of business experience and a massive general knowledge to bear on everything I produce. As a yoga and meditation practitioner, I write compelling copy for the health, well-being, and even religious fraternities. I offer a seasoned professional ability with great reporting and great results. Comments from happy clients say the rest.... "So refreshing to find someone who actually understands and knows how to write great sales copy!" "Excellent reporting, inputs, responsiveness... there is a planet of savvy behind Marc that shines through in all the right ways. Couldn't have made what we did without him..."

Great service. Great attitude!"
