I help agencies and brands scale their paid ads without adding headcount, whether you're running DTC eCommerce campaigns or generating leads for service businesses. If you need someone who can jump into your ad accounts, execute daily optimisations, scale winning campaigns, and communicate performance clearly, without constant hand-holding... keep reading. Here's what I bring: I've worked inside a fast-moving DTC creative agency (eCOMHUB), managing campaigns for 11+ brands simultaneously, some doing $1M+/month in revenue. I operated in accounts spending up to $100K/day across Meta, Google, and TikTok. But that's only part of the story. Before (and during) that, I spent 9+ months running lead gen campaigns for service businesses: home improvement companies, solar installers, coaches, consultants, and B2B agencies. I've launched campaigns from scratch, built funnels, tested offers, and consistently maintained CPL under $30 and CPA under $70 across multiple verticals. What that means for you: Whether you're selling products or generating qualified leads, I know how to: ✅ Launch campaigns with proper structure (naming conventions, tracking, budget pacing) ✅ Optimise daily based on performance data. I make decisions fast, not "wait for more data" ✅ Scale winning campaigns without destroying ROAS or CPL ✅ Test new audiences, angles, and offers to break through plateaus ✅ Manage retargeting, new market launches, and UTM tracking ✅ Troubleshoot when performance dips, before you have to ask ✅ Communicate clearly, good news and bad news I'm also fluent in "agency operations", SOPs, tight deadlines, multiple accounts, and daily performance expectations. Here are some recent wins across both worlds: 1. DTC eCommerce: ✅ Launched a new market campaign: 13 ROAS in Week 1 ✅ Scaled Black Friday campaigns by 2x while maintaining profitability ✅ Relaunched winning Meta ads onto TikTok for cross-platform scaling 2. Service Business Lead Gen: ✅ Saved a painting business from churn by overhauling their campaign, slashing CPL and delivering consistent, qualified leads ✅ Generated 50+ qualified solar appointments in under 30 days (Added over $50k in pipeline value) ✅ Maintained CPL under $30 and CPA under $70 across home services, wellness, and B2B Tools I use daily: Meta Ads Manager | Google Ads | TikTok Ads Manager | Shopify Analytics | Google Sheets | ClickUp | Slack | Notion | Canva Who I work best with: ✅ DTC eCommerce brands that need daily execution, optimisation, and scaling support ✅ Service businesses (coaches, consultants, home services, agencies) that need consistent, qualified leads ✅ Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts that need execution bandwidth ✅ Teams that value speed, clear communication, and accountability over excuses I'm probably NOT the right fit if: ❌ You need someone to invent your entire business strategy with zero input or direction (I can build and refine strategy WITH you, but I'm not a business consultant) ❌ You want a Media Buyer who also does graphic design, video editing, or full creative production ❌ You need weeks of "research" before launching anything (I believe in testing fast and optimising based on real data) Let's talk. Send me a message with: 1. What you're running now (or want to launch) 2. What's not working (or what you need help with) 3. What success looks like in 60-90 days I'll tell you straight up whether I can help, and if I can't, I'll point you toward someone who can. See you at work ;) - Ryan

Most ad accounts don't have a traffic problem. They have a money problem- spend going in, not enough coming out. I've managed over $100k in Meta ad spend across local service, DTC wellness, retail, and fitness brands. My job isn't to run ads. It's to make sure every dollar you put in works harder than it did yesterday. I currently run active accounts across four verticals- home services lead gen, wellness, retail, and fitness/lifestyle. That means I'm not theorizing about what works in your industry. I'm in accounts like yours every day, making real decisions with real budgets. Here's what's different about how I work: I don't optimize for CPL or CTR or any metric that doesn't connect to your revenue. I optimize for the number that actually matters to your business- booked appointments, cost per acquisition, purchase ROAS, revenue per campaign. If a metric doesn't trace back to money in your pocket, I don't chase it. I diagnose fast. I can open an account and within minutes tell you what's broken, what's being wasted, and what's worth scaling. No lengthy onboarding. No "let me study the account for two weeks." Just clear thinking and fast execution. I work independently. You won't be approving every decision or sitting in daily check-ins. You'll get honest reporting, clear communication, and a media buyer who treats your budget like it's their own. If your ads are running but your revenue isn't moving- that's the problem I fix. Verticals: Local service · DTC · Retail · Wellness · Fitness Platforms: Meta
