Stop wasting ad spend. Start scaling with a data-driven Creative Strategy. 🚀
I bring 4+ years of results from agency and direct-client work to Upwork. Early-stage platform history, proven playbook which means you get senior-level strategy at a stage where I'm still earning my Upwork reviews.
Most brands struggle with high CPL and stagnant ROAS because they treat ads as a technical task rather than a creative and psychological one. I bridge that gap. I help brands turn attention into profit by combining high-converting creative concepts with robust media buying systems.
Whether you are looking to scale a webinar funnel, increase course enrollments, or dominate lead generation in your niche, I build the architecture that makes it happen.
What I bring to your team:
Creative Strategy: I identify winning angles fast. I don’t just "run ads"; I design hooks and "scroll-stoppers" based on vertical video trends (9:16) that actually convert.
Full-Funnel Media Buying: Expert management of Meta, TikTok, and Google Ads. I build structures that cover the entire journey: Awareness → Consideration → Conversion.
Data-Obsessed Optimization: I’m driven by metrics. My focus is on lowering your CPL, increasing your CTR, and maintaining a healthy ROAS through rigorous A/B testing.
Proven Results:
$250.000 + in revenue generated in ticket sales for event-based businesses.
500+ qualified leads generated annually for high-intent industries.
35% reduction in CPL through creative testing and audience optimization.
17.6x ROAS achieved during scaling and retargeting phases.
Why work with me? I don’t need to be micromanaged. I act as a thinking partner for founders and marketing teams. I provide clear communication, structured reporting, and proactive recommendations. You’ll always know why we are winning and what we are testing next.
Industries I specialize in:
Higher Education & E-learning (Lead Gen for courses/webinars)
Events & Ticket Sales
B2C Lead Generation
E-commerce & DTC

Senior Media Buyer | Meta Ads, Google Ads & Lead Generation
Caldas, Colombia
$25/hr$25 per hour5.0 (8) 35 jobs $10K+ total earnings
I help lead-generation businesses turn paid media into qualified leads, calls and revenue. Over 9+ years, I’ve managed $5M+ in paid media across Meta, Google and performance channels, building acquisition systems that scale profitably.
My work goes beyond running ads.
I connect the full acquisition system:
Paid Media → Creative → Funnel → Tracking → CRM → Qualified Lead → Sales → Revenue
That allows me to optimize campaigns based on what actually matters to the business, lead quality, acquisition cost, sales outcomes and profitability.
SELECTED PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE
$5M+ in paid media managed across documented accounts
$3.35M+ in tracked revenue and 213K+ conversions across U.S. ACA / Medicare acquisition
$1.07M+ Meta Ads account managed for U.S. customer acquisition
$742K+ managed in MVA / personal-injury lead generation
$648K+ managed in U.S. tax-resolution lead generation
5,369 leads at €4.17 average CPL across 136 professional education campaigns in Spain
International ecommerce experience across Meta and Google Ads in Europe and Latin America, including multi-country product, creative and offer testing
Healthcare, aesthetics and dental acquisition experience across Colombia and Spain, including CEI Medical Group and exposure to 40+ clinics
Multi-client agency experience managing paid media across approximately 60 accounts in ecommerce, healthcare, services and lead generation
PAID MEDIA & LEAD GENERATION
I manage and scale:
Meta Ads: Facebook & Instagram
Google Ads
TikTok Ads
Pay Per Call
High-intent lead generation
B2C and B2B acquisition
Retargeting and scaling
Native / programmatic and affiliate campaigns
I’m comfortable managing both local lead-generation campaigns and large multi-market accounts where hundreds of thousands of dollars in media need to be allocated based on performance.
CREATIVE STRATEGY + GENERATIVE AI
Media buying and creative performance are now inseparable.
I develop and test:
Hooks and angles
Direct-response copy
Static ads
UGC concepts
Video ads
AI-generated images and video
Creative variations at scale
Audience-message fit
Creative-to-funnel consistency
I use generative AI as a production and optimization layer, not as a replacement for marketing judgment.
My current AI workflow includes tools such as ChatGPT / GPT Work, Claude Code, Claude Design, Gemini, HeyGen, Seedance and VEO 3 for research, creative development, video production, prototyping, analysis and automation.
CRM, TRACKING & AUTOMATION
I can also build the infrastructure behind the campaigns:
GoHighLevel
Lead nurturing
WhatsApp automation
Lead routing and qualification
Funnels and landing pages
Meta Pixel / conversion tracking
GA4
Google Tag Manager
Call tracking
Attribution
Make / Zapier
AI chatbots and AI assisted workflows
This matters because a cheap lead is not necessarily a good lead.
I want to know what happened after the click:
Did the lead qualify?
Did they answer?
Did they book?
Did they buy?
How much revenue did they generate?
That information should flow back into the next media buying decision.

B2B Lead Generation
A GOOD FIT IF YOU NEED TO:
✓ Scale an existing winning account
✓ Lower CPL, CPA or customer-acquisition cost
✓ Improve lead quality
✓ Diagnose an underperforming Meta or Google account
✓ Build a lead-generation system from scratch
✓ Improve creative testing
✓ Generate more qualified calls or appointments
✓ Implement or improve GoHighLevel
✓ Fix tracking and attribution
✓ Connect paid media with CRM and sales data
✓ Build AI-assisted marketing or lead-handling workflows
I approach paid acquisition as a business operator, not simply as someone who launches ads.
If you already have campaigns running, send me your monthly ad spend, CPL/CPA, target market and biggest bottleneck.
I’ll tell you where I would look first.
