Hi, I’m Matt. I’m the guy who helped turn 805 Beer into California’s #1 craft brew and accidentally turned a tamale company into a million-dollar-a-month empire (yes, really from $10K to $2.5M+ per month in 8 months flat). But before the wins, I was just a business owner like you. I started my career launching my own ventures from industrial design, consumer psychology to e-commerce. I quickly realized that nobody cares about your money as much as you do. So, I taught myself media buying to survive. I learned the hard way that "brand awareness" doesn't pay the bills; profit does. Once I cracked the code on my own businesses, major brands started asking for help. Over the last 11 years, I’ve managed $25M+ in ad spend and delivered results like this: 805 Beer (Firestone Walker): I served as the digital lead and right hand man to the CMOs, helping grow the brand into a $100M+ national powerhouse and the #1 craft beer in California. Texas Lone Star Tamales: Scaled to $2.5M/month while maintaining a 25% profit margin. Flume Tech: Beat industry giant Moen on Amazon with 1/10th of their budget, 4x’ing revenue in 4 months. Meta (Facebook): I was hired to personally consult for Meta on improving their ad technology. How I Work: I am not a task-based freelancer who waits for instructions. I am a Senior Media Buyer and Strategic Partner. Creative First: In 2025, creative is the targeting. I use my "Creative Signal Framework" to test hooks and angles rapidly. Financial Guardrails: I use cost caps to protect your downside. If an ad isn't profitable, we don't scale it. The "No BS" Policy: Because I’ve been a founder, I will tell you the truth about your landing page, offer, and data even if it’s not what you want to hear. When I'm not optimizing conversion rates, I'm usually on the golf course or surfing. I'm a normal guy who happens to be in the top 1% of digital advertisers. Ready to stop gambling and start scaling?
