Want poor performing ads campaign that doesn't convert?
Or a funnel that prospects click off of immediately?
How about a campaign that bleeds you money every day?
I certainly donโt.
But letโs be honest:
The majority of services out there are going to charge you an arm and a leg for something that ends up LOSING you money in the end.
And you want a service thatโs actually going to accomplish what youโre hiring them to do.
So here is what you will get by hiring me:
โ A unique, compelling, and data-driven advertising campaign that is built off data-driven decisions, giving you scale and profitability
โ A global approach to your business numbers and analysis, using our advertising campaigns as a cog in the wheel to create a healthy and sustainable business for you
โ A meticulous series of testing and re-testing to be sure that your ads campaign is constantly improving, learning and funnelling you more money every day
Here are some of the ways I stand out from the crowd of advertisers:
1. Relentless testing of new creatives to find those diamonds in the rough that will go viral and produce massive return
2. Building advertising campaigns that supplement and build your organic presence and brand so that your overall cost per sale goes down over time
3. A holistic approach to advertising across platforms that allows me to consult you on the best place to put your money
4. Accurate Tracking! This is huge and if your numbers arenโt reflecting the true results then you will see less than optimal results and difficulty scaling
5. Deep understanding of business metrics and how to understand *when* you can scale, and not just what buttons to click in order to scale
After 6 years in digital marketing, Iโve worked with all kinds of business in tons of different verticals. I have the most experience and success in the following areas:
- Ecommerce Companies
- High-ticket lead generation and sales (Coaches, consultants, and high-level solopreneurs)
- Brick and mortar/local businesses (RE agents, Dentists, Chiropractors, Therapists, Automotive, etc)
- Pay-Per-Lead Distribution (Mass Tort, Insurance, Debt Relief, etc.)
- And many more (I probably have worked with a business similar to yours in the past)
So if you want a successful advertising campaign, send me a message or invite me to apply to your job listing, and letโs discuss to see if I can help you. I will always be honest with you if I donโt think I can.

I am a passionate, enthusiastic and award-winning Marketing professional focused on getting results. I have worked for over 20 years building effective programs for great people in a variety of industries. I like to make it fun, so everyone enjoys the journey from a good idea to strong results!
I worked for brands such as Microsoft, Intercontinental Hotel, and 3M Healthcare along with a number of other businesses including law, career development, hospitality and software. Although all of these are very different, they all had the same formula: using a research-based and thoughtful approach to appeal to the market, testing different marketing methods, and then expanding on those tests based on the results.
As a specialist in franchising, I worked at building businesses such as Shred-it, Tutor Doctor, and FranchiseBlast (acquired by Franconnect). I was asked to speak at International Franchise Association (IFA) and Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) events on topics involving franchisee engagement and community marketing. For franchisors, I have experience on both the consumer and franchise development marketing sides.
My specialty is creating Marketing in an environment that Digital Marketing is very effective. For clients who are off-line only, I am not sure if I am the right fit. However, I can create companion print pieces for an integrated digital strategy.
I bring a lot of passion to every project that I do. I am good at inspiring team members, especially millennials, to get excited about a new direction. I am also strong at advocating and representing a change to both traditional organizations and ones that are ready and willing when there is a real business need for it.
My background includes an MBA from Queen's University and a Bachelor of Commerce from Carleton University.
My mission is to help businesses grow and to get strong results for everyone that I work with. I feel enthusiastic about being part of Upwork because it will help me expand my reach in terms of how I can create positive change for businesses across the world.
