I transformed stagnant $10k/mo ad spends into $315k+ revenue engines for healthcare brands and scaled luxury jewelry to $200k/mo at a 6.8x ROAS by re-engineering the technical "algorithmic blindness" that prevents most businesses from scaling profitably. Most brands don’t need more "traffic" they need a high-performance Digital Marketing Strategist who architects full-funnel acquisition systems. I solve the technical "Data Gap" by replacing standard tracking with advanced Server-Side CAPI and full-funnel signal recovery, ensuring every dollar of spend is a measurable investment in your bottom line. DOMAIN-SPECIFIC TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE - Signal Recovery (CAPI): I implement Meta Conversions API and Server-Side GTM to recover lost attribution signals, lowering CPA by up to 45% through accurate algorithmic training. - HNI (High-Net-Worth) Targeting: Precision data layering designed to reach the top 1% and 5% of earners, bridging the gap between elite brand aesthetics and aggressive performance data. - Unit Economics (CAC/LTV): I synchronize Search and Social into a single growth loop, optimizing for your P&L rather than vanity metrics. - Account Engineering: Rebuilding account hierarchies (CBO/ABO) from the ground up to eliminate budget leakage and ensure 100% spend efficiency. REAL-TIME PROBLEM SOLVING - Scaling Plateaus: I move accounts from $100/day to $5,000/day using tiered testing silos—mathematically proving profitability before scaling your spend. - Attribution Gaps: I replace browser-side tracking with robust Server-Side Tagging to ensure your data is 100% transparent and your ROAS is real. - Positioning Friction: I fix "Tire-Kicker" lead quality by refining audience logic and high-intent messaging for premium and healthcare ecosystems. Technical Stack: Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads (PPC), Google Tag Manager (GTM), Conversions API (CAPI), Server-Side Tracking, and Full-Funnel Growth Strategy. Selective with my partnerships, typically managing only 3–4 high-growth brands to ensure maximum strategic focus on your revenue. Click "Invite to Job" to schedule a 15-minute Strategy Audit.

I build paid media systems that get more efficient every month they run. A surgical practice: $365 cost per lead down to $33 over 16 months, built from a brand new account with zero history. Lead volume grew 22x in the same period with ad spend essentially flat. A telehealth platform: Meta channel built from scratch to 1,763 booked physician calls per month. A veterinary staffing marketplace: vet acquisition cost from $483 to $43, managed across Google and Meta simultaneously. 14 years in performance marketing. Over $2M in monthly ad spend under management. I work with businesses spending $10,000 to $100,000+ per month on ads. I take a small number of clients so I can do the work myself. Some clients come to me for ads management. Others want the full system -- ads, creative, landing page optimization, and AI-powered follow-up that contacts leads within 60 seconds of a form fill. Both are options. Either way the goal is the same: sales & revenue growth or what we call performance. If that's what you're looking for, let's talk.

For 10+ years I've managed Amazon brands from Fortune 500 names to high-growth startups, which earned me Upwork's Expert-Vetted badge (top 1% of talent). I've leveraged over 9 figures in total Amazon ad spend, consistently managing $2-3 million in monthly spend. My focus is simple: grow your revenue, increase profitability, and scale your brand. PPC is my number one expertise, but PPC is influenced by everything around it, so I take an all-encompassing approach across listings, SEO, creative, and strategy rather than optimizing ads in isolation. Every brand gets a strategy built around its market, category, and goals, not a recycled playbook, and I'm relentlessly data-driven in how I optimize. What matters as much to me as performance is communication and transparency. The best client relationships I've had are built on proactive, consistent updates, no chasing required. Recent results: - $405K in sales in one week at 15.21% ACOS - $11.87M in year-end sales at 17.37% ACOS - $1.3M in monthly ad spend managed - $500K monthly ad spend at a 12 ROAS - Full account restructure and process implementation for Fortune 500 brands - Took an unprofitable channel to a 34% profit margin while cutting TACoS from 60% to 15% in month one Core expertise: Amazon PPC, FBA full account management, product launches, SEO and listing optimization, A+ and creative, and multi-marketplace strategy (US, UK, EU). I also run Google and Meta ads for brands taking an omni-channel approach. If you're looking for an operator who treats your P&L like their own, let's talk.

▪️Awarded Upwork's rare "Expert-Vetted" status for enterprise clients. ▪️Over $40 million / year client revenue. ▪️Over $3 million / year ad spend managed. ▪️12 yrs digital marketing & branding experience. ▪️150+ accounts audited. ▪️Extensive experience with Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, X, LinkedIn & Bing. Hi, I'm JT 👋. I specialize in multi-channel advertising strategy and management for early-stage companies with a proven product that are ready to pour fuel on the fire. The digital advertising landscape changes quickly. The main traps companies fall into are leveraging an outdated strategy for too long, or implementing a cookie-cutter strategy that isn’t optimal for their company, at their growth stage, given the nuances of their business and their consumer. I'm strategy-agnostic. Rather than chasing the rotating "best strategies" for any particular platform, or specializing in a narrow segment and depending on a replicable system (saying they "specialize" in fashion and using the same exact strategy for every client), I instead have focused on developing extensive experience across a wide range of industries, products, and services, across all major advertising channels. This lent me a strong zoomed-out perspective on *why* strategies work, which helps me understand which levers to pull in any particular situation. I start every client relationship with the development of a customized strategy, and at the beginning of each year I outline an updated roadmap with next steps for their unique path. That commitment to forging a new path is what leads to stronger ideas and better results: I can provide the guidance you're looking for as you build out your funnel and scale up your ad spend, and I have a strong understanding of all other components of a healthy marketing strategy (content, email, SEO) so I can work well with your team and plan integrated strategies. Qualifications: ▪️ MBA from UCLA Anderson with a specialization in digital marketing analytics. ▪️ BA in Psychology from UCLA, which lends me a keen understanding of consumer behavior. ▪️ Before digital advertising, I worked on the development, design and marketing of a portfolio of fashion and decor brands. We achieved placement in Nordstrom, Dillard's, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Barnes & Noble, The Shopping Channel, Von Maur, and Hudson's Bay. I treat my clients like partners, and am heavily invested in your success. There's no better feeling than being a part of the development of a successful business. Most of my clients found me in early stages and have stayed with me for years, and we've grown together to over 40 million in sales annually. I'd love to do the same with you. Ready to accelerate your growth? Send a message over - I'd love to learn about your business and explore how I can help you reach your goals.
