Why work with me

The number that matters is the one in your bank

The ROAS your ad platform reports and the revenue that actually lands in your business are rarely the same number. Platforms claim credit for view-through conversions and sales that would have happened anyway, and a lot of paid media is optimised to make that number look good rather than to grow the business.

I build campaigns around real attribution, optimising for incremental sales on a conservative basis. You work with me directly, doing the work, not a junior account manager you meet after the pitch. The result is spend that earns its keep and numbers you can trust.

The difference

Paid media that earns its budget

Senior, hands-on, every time

You work directly with an experienced practitioner who builds and runs the account. No junior account managers, no being passed down the chain after the pitch.

Real attribution, not vanity metrics

Reporting held to a conservative standard, so the account is credited for sales the ads actually drove, not view-through or branded conversions that would have happened anyway.

No long-term lock-in

I earn the engagement month to month. Flexible scope, clear commitments agreed upfront, and full transparency on what your budget is doing.

FAQ

Your paid media questions, answered

By holding reporting to a conservative standard and looking at incrementality, not just the platform's self-reported ROAS. The goal is to credit the ads for sales they actually drove, not view-through conversions or branded searches that would have happened anyway. You get numbers you can trust against the revenue that lands in the business.

It depends on your margins and average order value more than a fixed minimum. A high-value product can return strongly on a modest budget when the account is built properly. I'll be honest upfront about whether your budget and economics make paid a sensible channel, rather than taking it on regardless.

Often both, used for different jobs: Google captures existing demand, Meta creates it. The right mix depends on your product, margins, and how people buy. I run them as one joined-up plan rather than two channels competing for credit, so the budget goes where it earns the most.

You work directly with a senior practitioner who does the work, rather than being handed to a junior after the pitch. No long-term lock-in, full transparency on the account, and a focus on real return instead of a retainer that runs regardless of results.

Usually a monthly retainer based on scope and days, which gives you predictable cost and consistent access to me. For defined projects I can work to a fixed fee. Everything is agreed upfront with no long-term lock-in. See the pricing page for a guide.
