Business Development & Strategic Partnerships Consultant | Helping B2B Companies Build Revenue Pipelines
I help B2B companies find new opportunities, build strong partnerships, and stay organised enough to actually turn conversations into long-term clients.
Over the past 6+ years, Iโve worked across business development, client communication, partnerships and operations. In practice that has meant everything from identifying and reaching out to potential partners to managing relationships, supporting CRM systems and making sure follow-ups and internal processes donโt get missed.
A lot of my work sits between growth and operations. Iโm often brought in to help founders and small teams who are doing everything themselves, where opportunities are coming in but there isnโt always a clear system to track, manage and also develop them.
How I can help:
Business development and outreach
Strategic partnerships
Lead generation and prospect research
LinkedIn and email outreach support
CRM management (HubSpot, Zoho, etc.)
Client relationship management
Sales pipeline organisation
Market and competitor research
Client onboarding and follow-up processes
General operations and workflow support
My approach combines strategy with execution. I don't just identify opportunities, I help build the processes, relationships and systems needed to convert those opportunities into long-term business growth.
I'm experienced in working with HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Intercom, Notion, ClickUp, Asana, Trello and Google Workspace allowing me to integrate seamlessly into existing teams and workflows.
Clients value me because I'm proactive, commercially minded and dependable. I communicate clearly, take ownership of my work and build strong relationships with clients, partners and internal teams alike.
Whether you need someone to build a partnership strategy, generate qualified opportunities, optimise your CRM or strengthen your business development processes, I can quickly become an extension of your team and help you create sustainable, repeatable growth.

Hey there, are you tired of burning through freelancers or agencies and still feeling like just another number? ๐
This is exactly why my clients have stayed with me for over 5 years. Iโm not just an ads manager, I act as a long term marketing partner.
Iโm an award winning marketer who has managed over โฌ10M in ad spend across Ireland, the UK, USA, Australia and internationally.
Iโve supported businesses at every stage of growth, from building their first website and campaigns to scaling to the point where theyโve had to expand their sales teams to handle demand.
Thatโs the level I operate at.
A recent example:
โฌ84,000 in revenue. 57 booked appointments. 18 days. One client.
This isnโt luck, itโs a proven system ๐
Iโve led award winning campaigns across multiple industries, with 7+ yearsโ experience in Meta and Google Ads, specialising in generating high quality enquiries and booked appointments, not just traffic.
Most businesses donโt struggle with ads, they struggle with what happens after the click. Thatโs where I focus.
What I build:
โข Facebook and Instagram campaigns designed to generate booked appointments
โข Google Ads targeting high intent buyers ready to take action
โข High converting landing pages and websites
โข Follow up systems to ensure no lead is lost
โข Clear, structured reporting tied to real outcomes
I donโt approach this as a service, I approach it as building a scalable growth system, from first click through to confirmed appointments.
If something is underperforming, whether thatโs the ads, messaging or website, it gets identified and improved.
I also place a strong emphasis on creative and content, ensuring brands stand out while maintaining a professional, trustworthy presence.
Most of my work comes through referrals and long term partnerships, so Iโm selective with who I take on. Youโre welcome to look me up, my results and reviews are all publicly available.
If youโre looking for someone focused on long term growth and measurable results, Iโd be happy to speak.

That experience changed how I think about paid ads forever.
I don't just set up campaigns - I think like a business owner ๐จโ๐ป. Because I was one.
I specialize in Google Ads and Paid Media (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn) ๐, building end-to-end advertising systems focused on one thing: measurable growth. Not traffic. Not impressions. Revenue.
What I bring to your campaigns โ๏ธ:
โ Google Ads - Search, Display, Performance Max, Google Shopping
โ Meta Ads - Facebook and Instagram (creative strategy + funnel setup)
โ TikTok and LinkedIn Ads
โ Conversion Tracking - GA4, Google Tag Manager, server - side setup
โ Semantic core - keyword research, match types, negative keywords
โ Audience segmentation - targeting users across the full sales funnel
โ Campaign structure, A/B testing, and ongoing optimization
โ Ad creative development and copy
Here's what I've delivered ๐:
โข Analyzed 10,000+ products to identify profitable opportunities for eCommerce campaigns
โข Increased listing CTR by 25% through structured optimization
โข Consistently achieved 20-30% ROI across advertising campaigns
๐ I've worked with eCommerce brands and online businesses, managing everything from account setup from scratch to advanced tracking infrastructure and scaling profitable campaigns.
๐คฌ Unlike most freelancers, I understand what it feels like to watch your ad spend and wonder if it's actually working. That frustration drove me to become obsessive about tracking, attribution, and real performance metrics - not vanity numbers.
๐ My process is transparent: you'll always know what's running, why it's running, and what results it's generating. I believe in reporting that actually makes sense to a business owner - because I've been on your side of the table.
I work with:
โข eCommerce and online stores
โข Service businesses and lead generation
โข B2B companies looking to scale
Whether you need a full campaign build from zero, an audit of existing campaigns, or an ongoing management partner - let's figure out the best way to grow your business together ๐ฐ.

LIVE AVAILABILITY FOR MAY 2026:
Available to help 1-2 more companies/personal brands blow up on social media - send me a message and let's chat
Youโre here because youโre tired of posting content that getsโฆ nothing.
Youโre tired of trying to โbe consistent.โ
Youโre tired of watching everyone else grow while your page stays stuck.
Youโre not the problem.
Your content system is.
And thatโs exactly where I come in.
Iโm Izaak, an Expert Social Media Manager focused on Instagram and TikTok content and growth. I help brands and creators build content systems that drive real results, not vanity engagement.
I donโt do random posts.
I donโt do guesswork.
I donโt do chasing trends until your brand has an identity crisis.
I build growth machines disguised as content ๐
๐ฅ WHAT I DO (AND WHY IT WORKS)
I turn your personality, expertise, and offer into:
โจ Short-form videos that actually stop the scroll
โจ A content strategy that finally makes sense
โจ Scripts and hooks that pull people in from the first second
โจ Edits that feel modern, professional, and on-brand
โจ A posting system that grows your page every single month
โจ Messaging that converts and positions you as the go-to in your niche
This isnโt โposting more.โ
This is strategic visibility engineered for growth.
๐ง MY CONTENT APPROACH
Everything I build is structured around four core content pillars:
๐ Educational content โ builds authority and trust
๐ Social proof content โ shows credibility and real results
๐ค Personal and lifestyle content โ builds connection and relatability
๐ฏ Lead generation content โ turns attention into enquiries and revenue
Content that looks good and performs.
๐ฅ WHAT WORKING WITH ME FEELS LIKE
Youโll go from:
โ โI donโt know what to post.โ
โ โNothing I share works.โ
โ โI feel invisible online.โ
โ โIโm relying on luck and the algorithm.โ
To:
โ โThis content actually sounds like me.โ
โ โI finally know what to post.โ
โ โMy engagement is up.โ
โ โPeople are messaging me.โ
โ โMy brand looks credible.โ
And most importantly:
โ your content starts generating leads.
โ๏ธ MY PROCESS (WHY CLIENTS STAY)
1๏ธโฃ Deep-dive brand call โ voice, audience, positioning
2๏ธโฃ Research โ competitors, patterns, whatโs working now
3๏ธโฃ Scripts and hooks โ retention-focused and tailored to you
4๏ธโฃ Monthly content system โ pillars, formats, strategy
5๏ธโฃ Edits โ clean, modern, built for IG & TikTok
6๏ธโฃ Weekly optimisation โ adjust based on performance
7๏ธโฃ Consistent growth ๐
Youโre not hiring a โcontent creator.โ
Youโre hiring a strategist, system builder, and growth partner.

Platform: Instagram
What I Did: Content strategy, posting structure, growth optimisation
Results:
๐ Grew the account from 977 followers to 10,000+ followers in under 3 months

๐ Growth played a key role in the business being acquired by a larger company
๐ฅ READY TO SCALE?
