Key Strengths

  • Owned and executed a $4MM AWS programmatic campaign with rigorous 3-DSP side-by-side testing (DV360 vs TTD vs Amazon DSP)
  • Designed controlled test frameworks with clear hypotheses, guardrails, and control/test line items (budgets, pacing, frequency, flighting)
  • Strong video/CTV performance optimization (88% overall VCR; 98% VCR on CTV) at efficient CPM ($11.50)
  • Measurement-driven planning using brand lift studies and attention metrics (Dynata, Attest, Adelaide)
  • Platform nuance and troubleshooting expertise (creative rejections, PMP availability, match rates, targeting limitations) with documented client-facing caveats
  • Performance recovery playbook: diagnosed low CTR via DSP/DCM reporting, publisher troubleshooting, blocklists, frequency/pacing changes, and budget shifts (0.03% to 0.08% CTR)
