01
I don't know what's working
"We don't have visibility and can't trust our marketing numbers."
02
Our agency isn't delivering
"We're paying for decks and calls, not results."
03
CAC is rising and growth has stalled
"Acquisition is slowing down and we can't explain why."
04
We're entering a new market or channel
"We need a clean, scalable setup without wasting money figuring it out."
05
Our tracking broke
"GTM, GA4, HubSpot, or conversion tracking stopped working and nobody knows why."

Five ways I help businesses grow.

Not just running ads. The full picture, from auditing what's broken to building what generates results.

The honest comparison.

Most businesses choose between an agency, an in-house hire, or a freelancer. Here's what that actually means.

vs Agency
Slow, junior, and vague.
Slow communication, junior execution, vague reporting, plus management fees and add-on charges for things that should be included by default.
With me you work directly with a single specialist who owns strategy, tracking, and execution end to end, from day one.
vs In-house
Slower, costlier, one perspective.
Hiring in-house takes months, costs more, and limits you to one person's experience.
With me you get senior-level expertise immediately, no recruitment, no ramp-up, no overhead.
vs Other freelancers
Strategic or executional. Rarely both.
Cheaper freelancers tend to specialise in one channel, so you end up hiring one for Google, another for LinkedIn, someone else for tracking, and yet another for strategy. Expensive, fragmented, and nobody owns the full picture.
With me you get both: senior strategy and hands-on execution done properly from day one.
The result is full accountability, one person who owns the outcome, not a chain of handoffs where nobody is responsible for results.

Four steps. No surprises.

A clear process from day one. You always know what's happening, what's next, and why.

1
Audit
I review your current setup — ads, tracking, landing pages, and data. You get an honest assessment of what's working, what's leaking budget, and where the opportunities are.
Week 1
2
Strategy
Based on the audit, I build a focused plan: which channels, which audiences, what budget allocation, and what success looks like. No 40-page deck — just a clear roadmap.
Week 2
3
Launch
I build and launch everything — campaigns, tracking, attribution, reporting. Properly set up from day one so you can trust the numbers from the start.
Week 3–4

Optimise
Continuous improvement based on real data. Bidding, audiences, creative, budget shifts — every decision tied to pipeline and revenue, not vanity metrics.

Let's talk →

What I'm thinking about.

Real opinions on paid media, shared publicly. No ghostwriter, no fluff.

No-BS marketing writing.

Opinions, frameworks, and uncomfortable truths about B2B marketing. Also published on Substack.

Common questions.

The questions buyers actually ask before reaching out.

What does a B2B paid media specialist do?

A B2B paid media specialist plans, builds, and manages paid advertising campaigns across platforms like Google, LinkedIn, and Meta for businesses that sell to other businesses. The work covers strategy, tracking setup, campaign management, reporting, and ongoing optimisation. The goal is qualified leads, demos, and pipeline, not vanity metrics like impressions or clicks.

What paid media channels do you work with?

Google Search and YouTube, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn Ads, Microsoft / Bing Ads, Capterra, and ABM platforms. I also run LinkedIn Outreach campaigns. Channel choice depends on your ICP, sales cycle, and budget, not on what is fashionable.

Who do you work with?

B2B SaaS and tech companies, from early-stage startups to global brands. Past clients include CleverTap, Whatagraph, Loctax, Nestlé, Sage, PriceSpider, and others. The common thread is a long buyer journey, multi-touch attribution, and demos or qualified calls as the primary conversion.

How is working with you different from an agency?

With an agency you typically get slow communication, junior execution, and vague reporting wrapped in management fees. With me you work directly with one senior specialist who owns strategy, tracking, and execution end to end from day one. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior team learning on your account.

How long does a paid media audit take and what is included?

About one week. The audit reviews your live campaigns, conversion tracking (GTM, GA4, CRM integration), landing pages, and budget allocation. You get a clear assessment of what is working, where budget is leaking, and the highest-impact opportunities. The deliverable is findings you can act on, not a 40-page deck.

What is the typical engagement model?

Most clients begin with a one-week audit, then move into ongoing campaign management on a monthly retainer. Some run defined projects instead, such as tracking rebuilds, account restructures, or channel launches. Every engagement is senior-level work done directly by me, not handed off to a junior team.

Do you work with companies outside B2B SaaS?

B2B SaaS and tech is my main focus because that is where most of my 10+ years and €10M+ of managed spend sits. I will consider other B2B work when the buyer journey and measurement constraints are similar: long sales cycles, multi-touch attribution, and demos or qualified calls as the primary conversion event.

What results should I expect, and when?

It depends on your starting point. If tracking is broken, the first month is foundational and you will see cleaner reporting before you see lift. If tracking is sound, expect CAC and lead-quality improvements to start showing within 6-8 weeks as bidding signals stabilise and creative testing produces winners. If your goal is unrealistic for your budget, I will tell you up front rather than after three months.
