Key Strengths

  • Owned and scaled $50K+/month paid media across Meta + Google for lead gen
  • Scaled monthly spend 3x while improving CTR 4x, CVR 80%, and ROAS 250% over 6 months (BrightChamps)
  • Audience-personalized creative + landing page strategy (father vs mother messaging) driving major CTR lift
  • High-volume experimentation: tested 50+ creatives, 5+ landing pages, and 30+ audiences; restructured entire ad account
  • Disciplined testing framework using control variants, CBO audience tests, and 80%+ statistical sufficiency
  • Validated unexpected creative winners by re-testing in scaling campaigns (e.g., simple Ramadan lantern creative with highest CTR/lowest CPL)
  • Diagnosed lead-quality decline and restored growth via conditional-logic qualification in lead forms (300% better CVR; ROAS 2x)
  • Data-driven budget reallocation based on platform frequency and CAC; shifted 30% spend to churned/past subscribers for an OTT brand
  • Client-safe performance communication using plain language instead of jargon
