Key Strengths

  • Owned end-to-end management of a ~$98K/month CPG retail media account across display, video, CTV, and DOOH
  • Drove measurable efficiency gains: 2% CPA reduction in 6–8 weeks, 8% CTR increase, 15% conversion-rate lift via structured testing and budget reallocation
  • Data-driven incremental spend allocation using marginal CPA/ROAS, saturation/frequency, and incrementality to avoid cannibalization
  • Disciplined test-and-scale framework (clear hypotheses, single-variable isolation, 30–50 conversion thresholds) to avoid false positives
  • Strong performance recovery playbook: reversed an 18% CPA increase on a $70K/month account, improving CPA by 20% and CTR by 15% within ~3 weeks
